Familia Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I have done traditional dog training in the past, and I like the clicker training we are doing now much better. I want support and a group experience for our growing puppy going forward. Locally, the dog scene is not as good as I was formerly around - no good dog parks, AKC events few and far between. I see there is a dog club/training center within an hour that offers Volhard Training Method classes, working towards rally. What is with the collar? Is this a positive or negative program?

ktgrok Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I would not use that collar, especially on a puppy. And I use prong collars on my dog, if that tells you anything. That collar could very very easily cause damage to the trachea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Oh, and if you want a positive, clicker based teacher try looking for a trainer certified as a CPDT. http://www.ccpdt.org/dog-owners/certified-dog-trainer-directory/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 my daughter's breeder strongly recommends ian dunbar. I start a puppy class with a trainer who uses that method next week. it's not clicker training- but it is a good program. i also really like zak george on youtube. not classes - but he has tons of specific training things. eta; it's her puppy - but we're both doing puppy classes with him. especially since I "puppy sit" him during the weekdays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
