Teaching of dogs'owners - a new trend in dogs' training

       What is the starting point in dog’s education? Obedience? Yes… But what is the “very starting point”? Oh, Yes – the cynological education of his owner. Alex Vyatkin, a trainer, instructor, breeder of malinois (working line) and – plus – a person of great charisma, organized a seminar (Ekaterinburg, Russia) with the key idea – to stop cynological ignorance. He gave serious knowledge and valuable skills easily and with a smile, suggesting to play games in which each owner got an opportunity to be “in a dog’s fur”. It seems the most effective way of educating dog owners J. See video and enjoy.

Moscow : Ice - Chemicals - Dog's Health

      Winter  came with snow, frost and ice. And big problems for dog's health. Again in Moscow roads are covered with chemicals for ice melting. It's much easier than to move the snow and ice mechanically. Chemicals damage dogs' paws severely. However, a walk with the dog can give much more dramatic consequences - allergy. On the photo you can see a dog with a grave allegic edema. If a dog breathes a particle of the chemicals he can get an edema of anatomic airways,  that can lead to his death. Those chemicals are very dangerous for animals. Why the City authorities use them? It' not difficult to guess: there is a strong lobby and big money behind the scene.

Santa is a big animal lover!

Christmas and New Year are coming! It's great!
Do you support Santa that animals are not for presents and should not be given as toys?

Why do dogs leave the Earth first?

             

                                             

                       

            

                                                                       

A little boy once said: dogs already know how to love, so they don't have to stay long.

                                                        

Dog's training means a lot of playing

       Jumping in playing

       

       How to teach a dog to jump? There are various methods to do it: to start with a very low barrier, to help a dog to jump over a barrier, to jump with a dog. 

      

                            

         Or you can try to teach playing with your dog, and playing a lot. Being involved on an active game a dog jumps easily,  enjoying it.

Let's think: why we need dogs?

      Why we have dogs? They cause a lot of complications and troubles in our life, need a lot of care and consume enormous part of our time and money.  However, we have them, we love them, we need them.

Make training of your dog effective and enjoyable

           Most of dog owners do not go with their dogs to any training ground, and their dogs do not get any lessons at all. Why? The list of answers is impressive: I’d like to, but have no time; I’m busy; it’s too late /early; my dog knows everything without any lessons; this breed is not for training; too cold/ hot, etc. The list can be continued.

However, all these answers are only partially true. In many cases the answer is quite of another nature and - so to say - rooted in our schooldays.  Do many people remember their schooldays with pleasure and delight? I mean CLASSES - not games and tricks in the school playing ground. I doubt it. It’s quite understandable as in most cases the school lessons are long, unenjoyable, dull, and of no obvious practical use.  The result is that a lot of people deep in their minds treat any lessons - including regular training with their dogs - as their school ones. REGULAR training or CLASSES or LESSONS are the key words that trigged the sense of hopeless inevitability that most school kids feel in the morning five or six days a week.

This attitude can be changed dramatically! Let’s make the process of education  enjoyable for both: the dog and the owner.

The first key point – use dog’s favorable toy or tips or something  else - but FAVORABLE. It can be used in a lot of exercises and help to achieve good results enjoyably and comparatively quickly. They can be used even in complicated exercises, such as heeling without leash, coming,  keeping positions,  even stopping biting of a decoy in attack.

The second key point – start each lesson with playing, so every time your dog knows that something interesting and enjoyable is waiting for him/her and + can drop extra energy. It helps a lot to  focus dog’s attention and to tune both - the dog and the owner – to a MUTUAL DYNAMIC CONTACT.

         The third key points – play A LOT when your dog fulfills the exercise in a proper way and between different exercises. Free movements, dynamic games always bring something new. It is so important in working with difficult exercises that should be repeated many times.

          Enjoy your training with your dog! 

          I’ll appreciate if you tell about your successes and share your new experience!
