Expertise

I can answer training questions, both basic and advanced, and am familiar with almost all of the methods and tools used. I am not closed-minded and do not think that one method and one tool is the best/only way to train. I answer questions with consideration to both the owner`s and the dog`s needs and abilities. I am also very knowledgeable about canine nutrition.

IF YOU HAVE A HOUSETRAINING QUESTION, PLEASE go to my web page on housetraining, located at http://housetraining.angelfire.com. If you try the suggestions there, and are still having problems, let me know.

Experience in the area

I have been training for more than five years. I am currently involved in the sport of Schutzhund, and also plan to pursue AKC obedience and tracking titles.

What do you like about this subject?

I like the flexibility that training offers. There are so many different methods to choose from, and since each dog learns differently, having more than one option makes training much easier than in years past.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

My main goal is to advance my knowledge in the different methods of training, and how they can be applied to different dogs.

A simple answer, Suzanne, is to treat her like you would a puppy. Do not let her out of your sight, and when you are not at home, put her in a room where you know she will not go to the bathroom, or crate

2011-01-03 oven alerts & smoke alarm stress:

Michael, you might try clicker training to help him overcome his fears. Start by 'charging' the clicker, by simply clicking and giving him a treat at least 10 times in a row, several times a day, until

2008-12-08 Older Dog Digestive Traits:

Dogs do not do anything out of spite, Marc. Your dog's problem is more than likely age related. A thirteen year old Toy Manchester Terrier is about the equivalent of a 70-80 year old person. As people

2008-12-02 Where do I begin?:

Crystal, if Ruby is 9 weeks old now, and you've had her for 4 weeks already, then part of her problem is that she was taken away from her mother and siblings much too early. Puppies should not be separated
