I agree with Ckrantz, who always seems to write what I would, but sooner and in more detail. Counterconditioning would be the way to go and Pavlov will be your best friend here. As for what would I do if one of my dogs bite, suddenly, without provocation, I kept him, took him to a behaviorist, worke...

Actually, the dog training video he is promoting right now uses R+ based training, but I have only seen the preview so I can not judge all of it. As to positive only, of course there is not and anyone who says there is has no idea what they are talking about. As to VS and CM, their philosophies are ...

when he goes for the other dogs he starts by being in an aggresive stance then approaches them lets them sniff and pays no attention to us calling him. You need to stop it before he gets past the aggressive stance. Are there any reactive dog classes near you? They are usual called Rough Rovers, Gro...

Agreed, Lab. I like seeing more of the process. It seems a bit more real, in line with what behavior modification is. I like the fact that there is no fairytale ending, with owner and dog walking into the sunset hand in hand. I like the fact that it emphasizes owner commitment, which is so important...

In addition to the excellent advice above, let me add some things about licking. Licking can be many things, boredom, it can release endorphins (like when dogs lick wounds), it can be a calming signal, calming the dog, or, more specifically, in this case it sounds like an appeasement gesture. By rea...

Still off base and limiting the choices. You are assuming my feelings on the prong collar are based on other people's opinions or my own failure with it. I actually trained quite successfully for many years with slips, prongs, head and e collars. Had I not gotten a dog with severe behavioral issues,...

I don't use head harnesses either and have said before that of the two, I would rather see a prong than a head harness on a dog because I think the potential for physical damage is greater with the misuse of a head harness. I do not use either for training. I have no need of them. I would recommend ...
