Free Report - Dog Training Myths

As pitbull owners we have a responsibility to make sure that our dogs are well behaved. Any dog owner has that responsibility, but with pits, it's super important because of all the bad press and negativity surrounding our breed. This is why we put together our page of pitbull training help as well as our page of free dog training articles.

But now, we have yet another free training resource available for you!

Dog Training Myths shares 5 very common training myths your pitbull needs you to know about. Plus get some very good training advice and tips to remember when working with your pitbull including:

• how to use your voice
• reading dog body language
• why consistency is key
• the importance of timing in training
• how long training session should be
• using signals in your training
• being your pitbull's leader
• the role of exercise
• and more!

Oh and, yes, you may pass it along to anyone you feel may benefit from it!

Dog Training - Ask Anything

Wow - we just found an online resource which will allow you to actually ask a real person about the dog training issues you may have.

We've been trying out some new training techniques too and are having a lot of fun with it. Right now we're talking to the people who produce the information we're using to see if we can work together to get the information to you, but that's not quite ready yet.

BUT, if you're looking for a unique Dog Training Blueprint to Success - this is something different from any online dog training program I've seen so far. It's more expensive too, but you also get quite a bit of dog training support.

UKC Clinic in Hawaii

I just found out a few details about a UKC Clinic in Hawaii. Basically you can come (and bring your dog) to learn about how to handle your dog.

Learn about:
How to show your dog and bring out his/her best physical qualities
How to walk your dog in the ring
How to walk your dog as you enter/exit the ring
How to get your dog to walk next to you
...and much more.

The clinic will be broken down into two parts: a classroom portion and an outside/hands on portion. This clinic will be run by the Hawaii UKC Judge, David Gomez.

When I have all the registration details, I'll post them here. Right now, all I know is:

• The Clinic will be held on July 19th (Saturday) in Mililani
• Check-in is at 9:30 with the clinic beginning promptly at 10:00am
• Cost is $10 per handler/dog pair
  

When I have all the details, I will update with all the information and will let you know how to register as well.

Crates Are Not Only for Naughty Dogs

I saw an ad for a dog crate that was for sale and the seller said something to the effect of the crate being for those times when your dog is naughty. That caused me to believe that the seller of the crate felt that the only time a dog should go in a crate is when he or she is naughty.

Now, we use crates quite a bit, and now that I'm going through a pack structure training program with our younger dogs, we use them even more. In our use of crates we see that dogs don't necessarily feel "punished" when they are in their crate. In fact, many of them are more comfortable there than anywhere else. It becomes their "place, their "spot," their security when things are going nutso around them (think New Year's Eve fireworks going off for hours everywhere).

After reading that ad, I just had to say that crates are not only for "naughty" dogs. Yes, they can be used in training, but they can also be very beneficial to the health and well being of your dog. It's not just a mean punishment to put a dog in a crate.

Online Training for All Breeds

You may have seen this before if you've been visiting this site for a while. We've mentioned this program before and even have it listed on our Pitbull Training Resources page.

The reason I'm mentioning it again now is because I've noticed that a number of our visitors are choosing this particular training resource for their pitbull training.

Why is this training program so popular?

• Because it doesn't require you to take your dog to where the trainer is
• You can work it around when it's convenient for YOU rather than trying to work out a schedule with a off line dog trainer
• People with young puppies can begin training as early as possible, without having to take their puppy out in public before their puppy has completed their vaccinations
• Because it costs less than a tank of gas
  

This program allows you to...

• Use it whenever it's most convenient for YOU and your dog
• Immediately apply what you're learning in your own home vs learning it somewhere else, then having to remember it and try it at home
• Begin training your puppy as early as you want without the threat of taking your puppy out in public
• Check out a free lesson online right now
• Pay WAY less than some of those "we come to you" training programs out there
• Repeat lesson at ANY time because you have unlimited access to the information vs just one shot at a lesson during a 12 week program
• Quickly and easily begin training TODAY without having to wait for a consultation or wait for the next "12 week session" to begin

Pitbull Training Help

Lots of people ask about pitbull training. Our dogs are not house trained because they don't live in the house, but they are all crate trained. Most of what we know we either watched on Dog Whisperer or we read in training manuals and products. We share a couple of these resources on our website on the Pitbull Information page and even more on our Training Resources page.

Today I came across another resource that I thought I'd share with you. This one is simply called Pit Bull Training.

If you have unwanted behaviors you'd like to eliminate in your dog, maybe this resource can help.

Here's just some of what you'll discover...

• The silly mistake most people make when trying to train their Pit Bulls ...and how it can actually make your dog harder to train.

• The number one reason Pit Bulls do anything ...and how to tap into this amazing driving force behind Pit Bull behavior.

• The simple "anchor" method that cuts training time by as much as 71% ...and makes Pit Bulls obey you like they were operated by remote control!
