I'm very excited about this! Krista Cantrell is my favorite dog trainer by far! She's just released some great step-by-step videos that show you how to eliminate 95% of all dog behavior issues by working with your dog's natural instincts. I have a few of her books and love the way she teaches. Not to mention that her stuff really works. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

now im looking into the tom rose dog training school and was wondering if you can make a decent living off this. my mom told me no…im 17 not into it as much for the money more because i love dogs (especially the molloser breeds) and would want to do something i like doing.

As long as you don’t care about working a LOT of hours and making NOT a lot of money, then I say go for it–do what you love.

I just got a book from the library, "Opportunities in Animal Care Careers" or something like that. Had a chapter about dog/animal trainers. At the start, you’ll have a tough time getting a solid paying job to pay the bills, but it’s do-able. You can work at PetSmart, at a vet office that offers training services (you might be sort of a freelance in that situation), I know my humane society offers obedience, socialization, agility, etc. training classes, so if you get really good at it you could get a job like that. If you get REALLY good at it (I mean REALLY REALLY GOOD), you might be able to become a show handler for people’s purebred dogs. There’s a LOT of money in that.

If you are looking for a bit better income source, then maybe do a grooming program too. Then you’re even more valuable to vets or places like petsmart, since you can groom and train, so they win because they only need to hire one person instead of two (unless you up there business so much that they need an extra set of hands!). You might also look into working with horses, especially care of racehorses and training racehorses. There’s definitely money to be made there.

Good luck and remember–do what you love and you’ll have a happy career!

Can you just imagine how much easier life would be if your dog’s well trained? Many don’t even attempt to try it because it looks impossible. Actually, with some patience and determination, advanced obedience dog training is not only possible- it will be one of the most fulfilling experiences you will ever have with your dog. A trained dog is a happier dog. They are well-adjusted, confident and mentally disciplined even outside your home. You can leave your pet with other people and know that no harm will be done.

Before you can teach your dog anything, you have to set yourself in the position of power in your relationship. When he recognizes you as his master, training him automatically becomes much easier. If you allow him to get his way at any time,he will be confused as to who is the dominant creature and you will see signs of aggressive behavior in him. Correct this trait as soon as you see it. Don’t punish and rebuke him incessantly to show you’re the head of him. Instead, continue to just be firm and strong in your training.

Use a strong and sure voice when you give your commands. If you tell him to Sit!, carefully bring him your dog to the appropriate sitting position as you speak out the command. It will take a few times especially at the start of your training. But as the dog develops from basic to advanced obedience training, the dog begins to understand the patterns in your sessions with him and teaching him becomes much easier.

Rewarding the animal with treats and lots of praise is the best way to teach your dog to obey. This is called Operant Conditioning and it is what he understands. You have to remember to praise him every single time he successfully accomplishes a command. Sometimes, when you forget to applaud him, he will get confused as what is good behavior. Take the extra effort to remember will not be wasted on him.

Conversely, admonish the dog strongly for bad behavior committed. Correction should be done as he is making the mistake so he will understand that what he is doing is not good. Reprimanding the dog also draws attention to the difference between what is wrong and what is right. For example, he finds dirt on the street and starts eating it. Scold him right then and there. Then bring dog food before him and encourage him to eat that instead. When he does, lavish him with praise.

Dog obedience training should only be done in 15 minute sessions for maximum efficacy. Be repetitive and consistent in the commands you teach him. Also, make sure you don’t keep a strict schedule in your training. If training is done only at a certain period in the day, the animal will put on the obedient mode during that time alone. Teach him in sessions interspersed throughout the day.

We see movie dogs and get awed by how well they carry out the difficult commands they are given. However, remember that they all started with sit. Start with teaching him the basics that worked for you and keep progressing from there. Soon your dog will learn the more difficult command like roll over, fetch and attack.

Now you are in possession of the secrets experts use in their advanced obedience training dog school. All you have to do is to find Fido and get on your way to dog obedience success!

Can you just imagine how much easier life would be if your dog’s well trained? Many don’t even attempt to try it because it looks impossible. Actually, with some patience and determination, advanced obedience dog training is not only possible- it will be one of the most fulfilling experiences you will ever have with your dog. A trained dog is a happier dog. They are well-adjusted, confident and mentally disciplined even outside your home. You can leave your pet with other people and know that no harm will be done.

First and foremost in canine training is the establishment of hierarchy between you and your dog. You need to set your position as the leader early on. As soon as the dog understands this, the simpler it will be to train him. Neglecting to do so can spell trouble. There will be a struggle for dominance and aggressive behavior will ensue. Be strong and firm in teaching. When you see the beginnings of the alpha dog coming out, correct it immediately but do not be overly severe and mean to him.

Use a strong and sure voice when you give your commands. If you tell him to Sit!, carefully bring him your dog to the appropriate sitting position as you speak out the command. It will take a few times especially at the start of your training. But as the dog develops from basic to advanced obedience training, the dog begins to understand the patterns in your sessions with him and teaching him becomes much easier.

Rewarding the animal with treats and lots of praise is the best way to teach your dog to obey. This is called Operant Conditioning and it is what he understands. You have to remember to praise him every single time he successfully accomplishes a command. Sometimes, when you forget to applaud him, he will get confused as what is good behavior. Take the extra effort to remember will not be wasted on him.

On the other hand, do not neglect to reprimand the dog for wrong behavior. Do this at the time he is committing the mistake not after so he will know that action is wrong. Chastising the animal will also emphasize right from wrong. For example, if he eats dirt in the street scold him immediately. Right after put dog food in front of him and enthusiastically praise him wen he eats the latter.

Keep dog obedience training sessions short and sweet throughout the day. Keep doing the commands you want him to learn. This will drive the lessons home. Teach him at different times in the day so his obedience is not relegated to only a certain time and place.

The stunts movie dogs do are complex and impressive. They also all started with Sit. Begin with the simpler commands and progress from there. Patience and consistency are your best tools for dog training. Use the same principles as you did in the earlier stages, and it will bring you success in the more challenging tasks in the future.

There you go, the basic and fundamental tools you will need in advanced obedience training for dogs. There’s nothing left to do now but start training!
