Types of Dog Training Equipment

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

In dog training there are tools that you can’t go without. The primary functions of dog training equipment may vary but they have individual functions that will help you gain control over the dog, make the dog training easier or simply make the process faster.

Collar

A typical dog trainer will not buy other training aids but would definitely subscribe to the use of collars. Dog collars come in various types with different functions, materials and appeal. As to the function the usual varieties include choke or chain collar, martingale collar, spoke collar, shock collar or electronic collar.

As to the material used to manufacture the dog collar the most famous are the leather collars, nylon collars, fabric collars and metal collars.

Harness

A common alternative to dog leashes, the harness is a training device that is typically used in conjunction with or in replacement of dog collars. This distributes the force of pulling thus, preventing the possibilities of choking and could also prevent the chances of the dog slipping out when only a collar is used.

However, dog harnesses are not usually used for training ordinary house dogs instead harnesses are used for service dog training and assistance dog training.

Leash or lead

This is usually made of leather or rope that is attached to the dog collar for better control or restraint. There are, however, some leashes that are looped around the neck of the dog that eliminate the use of a collar. There are several types of leash according to length- the very short, the short, the webbing leash and extended webbing leash.

The variations in sizes account for easier training depending on the distance wanted by the handler. For better control, tighter leashes are recommended while distance training is best accomplished using longer leashes.

Muzzle

For dogs with unwanted biting and barking habits and need training to eliminate these behaviors, the dog muzzle is the most dependable type of dog equipment. This is also used for aggressive and dangerous dogs to prevent any damage that dogs could do using their mouths.

The muzzle is placed over the mouth of the dog to prevent it from opening its mouth. Dog muzzles could vary depending on the degree of freedom the device gives to the mouth, the construction material or the shape. It could be made of plastic, nylon, wire or leather.

Bait Pouch

It is a common practice among dog trainers to put dog treats inside their pockets, however it could sometimes be inconvenient. The main disadvantage of which is that some owners may take time in getting the needed reward, thus delaying the purpose of rewarding.

For better convenience, it is advisable for trainers to buy a bait pouch for training. This is an ordinary pouch that is made of canvass tied around the waist of the trainer for easier access to treats.

Halter

This is a headgear and a variation of a collar that is used primarily for guiding, training and tying up an animal for easier control. It is worn over the muzzle of the dog and fits across the back of the head such that when the trainer pulls the head of the dog, it will follow the direction of pulling.

Dog training equipment has various purposes, constructions and names. One device can’t simply accomplish all the works of different equipment. Thus, it is helpful for handlers to determine the exact use of the equipment first before buying one.

Your Choices of Dog Training Collars

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

Sometimes your dog needs to be reminded who’s the boss between you two and often times the best way is to get him some training. Apart from looking for a professional trainer for your dog (if you do not have the patience or time to attend to him), among the very first things that you should do is to look for a decent dog training collar.

The classifications of training collars depend largely on the types of uses a collar has.

There are a number of choices when it comes to training callers. There are the fancy collars which are specifically for decoration and style, there are a lot more that have specific uses. They are the following:

Choke Training Collars

Choke collars or slip collars are formed into loops that can be attached to the neck of the dog. The name of the collar is quite deceiving as it cannot cause choking unless the leash is pulled too hard. However, since the collar has no limit as to adjustment, it also has no limit as to how far it could tighten around the dog’s neck.

This should be worn high above the neck, behind the ears. Choke collars, while still popular, are now rarely used for dog training due to the lack of mechanism that stops the collar from constricting. This type is quite controversial as it is unsafe to leave the collar on if the dog is not supervised.

Prong Training Collar

Also popular for its name pinch collar, is characterized by chains with open ends that are turned towards the dog’s neck. Thus, when the collar is tightened the dog feels the spikes on the loose skin of his neck. Unlike choke training collars, prong collars have limited adjustment which also limits the amount of pinching the spikes could give the dog. Because of the spreading effect of the blunted spikes it is difficult to puncture the skin of the dog.

However, many owners still prefer to cover the tips of the spikes with rubber. This should be worn in the same way the choke collar is worn. There are cases when the dogs could slip out of the prong. This is why many owners use a second collar, usually a flat buckle collar.

Martingale Training Collars

Normally used for Sighthounds which have relatively smaller heads than necks, martingale collars are special types of dog collars that ensure security and comfort at the same time. This collar makes use of two loops- the large loop which is attached around the dog’s neck and the smaller loop on which the D ring is attached to. If tension is applied on the leash, the loops would naturally constrict to prevent the dog from getting off the collar.

Electronic Training Collars

Popular with its names shock collars and remote collars, this kind delivers electrical impulses or a spray of citrus smell whenever the dog misbehaves. For proponents this collar helps break unwanted behaviors easily especially if the owner does not have sufficient time for training. Also it makes handling the dog a lot easier.

Dog training collars are undeniable among the most effective tools in shaping the behavior of the dogs to ones that are desired by the owner.

These could limit their natural inclinations to run (and not really escape), to wander, to bark at strangers and to attack people or dogs in protection of themselves or their masters.

Tips on Choosing and Buying the Right Dog Training Collar

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

Because of the large variety of dog training collars, owners should be sufficiently informed to make the right choices. Here are some things you should consider when looking for the right collar for your dog.

1. Type
1.1 Electronic Dog Collar - This type makes use of electronic signals to eliminate the undesirable behaviors of the dog. For example, it will deliver a shock every time the dog barks.

1.2 Buckle Collar – As the name suggests, this collar is fastened using a buckle. It is usually made of leather, nylon or cotton and could be rolled or flat. Like many collars, this is one adjustable. Round buckle collars have the main advantage of eliminating the possibility of hair breaking.

1.3 Choke Collar – This is the most commonly used metal ring collar for both traditional and modern dog training especially the jerk-and-praise method. In this method, the dog will be given a yank whenever he disobeys a command.

2. Size of the collar – If the collar is too small the dog may be choked, if it is too large the dog may easily slip off it. The size of the collar should be enough such that it could provide both the comfort and the security.

To get the right size, it is best to measure the dog’s neck first and give some 2 to 3 inches allowance for adjustment. To check if it fits there should be two to three inches gap between the dog’s neck and the collar.

3. Dog’s breed – There are a lot of generic collars for all breeds of dogs. But for fashion purposes only, there are some highly specialized and fashionable dog collars that are made especially to amplify the looks of a specific breed.

For example, bulldogs look good on spiked collars while toy dogs look fashionable with lace and stone studded collars. But if the collar is for functionality alone, the uses and the strength of the collar should be prioritized.

4. Fur
4.1 Color of the fur – For some people, wearing a collar must be a bit of being trendy. If you want the best of both worlds- collar for training and for fashion, you should learn to match the color of the fur with the color and the material of the collar. Just like in matching your attire, the color should mix well that it is pleasing to the eyes as much as it looks good to the dog.

4.2 Type of fur – Your choice of collar should also depend on the type of your dog’s fur. It is recommended to get a flat collar for dogs with short fur to reduce marking and round collar for dogs with long fur as this would prevent the fur to flat out and break.

4. Budget – As a general rule, it is always best to look at the item first before checking its price as this practice normally gives someone better judgment on what looks good for the dog. However, you don’t have to spend a fortune to give your dog a good collar.

For training collars, functions come first before anything else and sometimes you have to invest some good money for function alone. If you are on a tight budget, it is best for you to search around first before landing on your choice.

Tossing a few dollars more could mark the difference between sacrificing the quality of the item and saving some pennies.

Dog Training: How to Eliminate Unwanted Behaviors

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

Some people train their dogs to develop their skills, others for the sheer fun it could give, but for most people they train to discipline their pets. Dogs, even when highly domesticated, could show a lot of their instincts and natural tendencies. These are they nature. However, to adapt them to the human needs some of their instincts need to be repressed and tailored.

There are several common behavior problems that most people just can’t tolerate. Here are some suggestions to solve a number of problems usually encountered by dog owners.

I. Undesirable Barking

Barking is the main medium of communication for dogs. However, some dogs tend to bark excessively in which case the owner can do the following actions:

a) If he is barking don’t say no. Dogs just can’t understand our language and saying “no” repetitively to a dog could excite him and give him the impression that you too are barking.

b) Practice consistency. Use only one command when you want him to stop barking.

c) Don’t get mad at him, be patient enough to drive him to the behavior you want to modify.

d) Reward him whenever he picks up your command. Don’t let a good behavior pass and reward it accordingly.

II. Chewing Behavior

Puppies are natural chewers, they use chewing for practicing their jaws and mouths. However they could chew for a number of reasons: they may feel bored, they are teething, they just want to play around, or they are curious about something. Like children, they use their mouths to find a great deal of information about their environment.

To eliminate excessive chewing you can do the following:

a) Put him in a crate where he could not have access to items in the house which could be chewed.

b) If you don’t want to confine him in a crate, be ready to supervise all his movements closely. You do not want to find a tear on your sofa because your puppy loved chewing the upholstery.

c) The puppy does not know the difference between an old shoe and a new shoe so instead of giving him shoes; give him other items that can be chewed. Toys, but not plush toys, may be good alternatives.

d) Buy for him chew toys. Chewing tendencies could never be satisfied if the puppy doesn’t get to chew something. If you don’t want him to chump on your furniture, it is best to invest on chew toys.

e) Give your puppy a good amount of exercise. Chewing could also be a result of too much energy in the body. If you could exhaust him a bit, his chewing behavior might be lessened.

III. Unwanted Digging

Another primal instinct, digging could be due to boredom, want for escape, need to find a cooler place to rest, to hide something like a bone or to make a den. While dogs used digging for many valuable reasons, many people find it destructive. Here are some solutions to avoid undesirable digging behavior:

a) Allow a specific area for him to dig. This way, you would prevent any occurrences of digging in inappropriate places. To condition him to dig the specific area alone, you should try to make it a rewarding experience and punish him whenever he looks for other places to dig.

b) You could also try deterring him from digging inappropriate places by putting small amounts of diluted ammonia or pepper in the area.

Unwanted dog behaviors could be tapered according to your wants through proper dog training but be sure to employ only the best training procedures.

Training Made Easy With Dog Training Aids

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all dogs are trained? There’ll be no chewed off furniture, no scratches on the walls, no dog poop on the carpet. The problem is, hiring a dog trainer can be rather expensive. And hiring one is not a fool proof guarantee that your dog will “learn” what was taught to him.

What most dog owners do nowadays is to do the training themselves. And this is where dog training aids prove to be useful.

One of the most common tools is the dog lead or leash. These are made up of different materials like leather, cotton web, nylon and chain. Experts advise the use of leather leashes because of its durability and ease in use.

It doesn’t cut or burn the skin and is comfortable to use. Aside from these, it is lightweight and does not produce much noise unlike chain. Leather leashes may come in different styles and designs. It is sold in various lengths as well, the most common of which is 6 feet.

Together with the leash is the collar. This may tighten or loosen, depending on the dog’s movement. Slip or choke, collars are usually made of leather, and come in a variety of designs like rolled, field and braided. In choosing a collar, make sure that it fits the dog well. It must not be too tight or too loose.

Instead of a leash, you may also use a 15-foot line. This is used to control the dog from a distance.
Other aids include bait bags and pouches. These are used to make it easy for you to hand out motivators like treats and food while training.

After some training time, your dog may show some signs of improvement. At this stage, use of the leash may not be required anymore. This is when some dog trainers use leather pull tabs and shark lines. This is also used in cases where the dog needs to undergo agility training. The dog may feel that he is off-leash, but you are still able to control and correct him by giving the tool a slight pull.

Another aid used in training dogs for specific jobs is the whistle. Because the sound can reach far distances, this aid is ideal if training is done in large spaces such as farms and forest areas and in noisy areas.

This aid is usually used when training dogs for hunting or gathering herd. Scent bands and dummies are also used together with the whistle. Dummies such as grouse, quail and pheasant wings are used to hold the scents. The scents make the dummies smell like real fowl.

Other aids include halters, harnesses, bells, clickers, pads and ring gates. With advances of technology, there are also new electronic aids available. Among these are electronic collars and invisible fences. While these tools may seem complicated, with enough information they make great training aids.

Training the dog yourself has its own rewards. With the proper orientation on how training is done and the proper dog training aids, your dog can sit, stay and roll at your call. You need to allot some time and space for training.

It may be difficult, but the bond that training creates between you and your dog is one of the most important benefits that training does.

Rules in Dog Training

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

A dog owner should set his mind in the right frame if he wants to train his dog. This would prevent him from violating any dog rules, an act that could really detriment the dog’s interest on learning.

Following the rules of training will also prevent the owner from doing the things that could harm his relationship with the dog. There are certain rules in training that must be followed including the following:

Stay focused

Incompletion of a task usually leads to confusion. Ensure to it that every time you give the dog a command, both of you will follow through it. Refrain from being distracted every time you give a command.

Say you are asking your dog to sit. Once you give this command, be sure that both of you will see the end of it. Do not tug on the collar of your dog and stop halfway and be distracted. Always finish one command first then move on to the next.

The dog should sit completely and not just bend his rear legs. If you do not make this happen, the dog will think that next time you give the command it would be okay for him not to complete the task or to ignore it completely. Always stay focused, this way, you would eliminate the possibility of confusion and maximize the obedience to a command.

Rewards and punishments

Many owners are anxious to let their dogs hear a string of praises or be rewarded with several cookies instead of one whenever a command is accomplished. On the other hand, a lot of owners give too many punishments on a single wrong thing that the dog did instead of punishing him just once. Both could adversely affect the training of the dog.

Never over do the rewarding or punishing of the dog’s behavior. If you are using praises as reward, do not over praise the dog. Single “good boy” praise will do to recognize that you are in favor of what the dog has done. This should be said immediately after the command is accomplished.

In the same way, a single pulling of the check cord will be enough if the dog did not follow your command. This would send him the signal that something is wrong.

Overdosing the dog with either rewards or punishments will distract him from learning. He would only remember the praises or the punishments and not the thing he did or he did not do.

End with a positive note

For every training session, make it a point that the training will end with a positive praise. This would make the dog look forward to the next training since the last session fulfilled her need to please you. Also, ensure to it that the last command was accomplished correctly so that the dog is oriented properly to following commands.

Never lose your patience

Often when trainers don’t get the results they want, they get impatient with the dog. Then they do something really stupid that could spoil the training.

Training should be an enjoyable experience for you and your dog. If it starts to make you lose your temper and your dog a lot more disobedient, you should try to assess your pitfalls.

Dog training is really a difficult business. If you are not prepared for it, you could get help from dog training classes and instructors.

Dog Potty Training- The Basics of Pooping Control

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

Potty training usually begins with puppies. Unfortunately, there are a lot of dogs who do not know yet where and when it is appropriate to poop. While housetraining has been popular for years, many people still have dogs that are not housetrained. The main advantage of being housetrained is that you could trust your dog not to make your house his large comfort room.

Just like other forms of dog training, potty training has several things needed for effective results. They are as follows:

The Timing

Not all dogs are ready for training and you cannot subject them to potty training at all times. The best time to correct misbehavior when it comes to potty is right after he poops. If you see the dog pooping, get his attention immediately and encourage him to continue outside.

Give a command that will signal him to stop, ensure to it that the tone of your voice is low. After which, start introducing him with the command “outside” while guiding him gently to go outside towards a specific location where he is allowed to eliminate regularly.

The Act

Most of the time, owners just discover the accident indoors and did not see the act. In this case, it is best to ignore the incident and wait for the next occasion the dog poops. Never rub his nose in it as this would not give him the proper lesson.

Instead, if you could make the dog come to the area you could scold the poop in his front instead of messing up his nose with it. Why? Because even if only several moments have passed, he would never be able to make a correlation between the action he did and the scolding.

If he is chewing a bone for example, and you scold him for pooping inside the house earlier, he would think that he is being scolded for chewing the bone not for eliminating indoors.

The Accompaniment

There are instances when the owner sees the dog eliminating indoors and was ordered to go outside and came back in and continued pooping. Again, in this case, the puppy has done nothing wrong. He does not know what the owner wants to communicate by going outside.

If you want the dog to accomplish as you say, you should have the patience to accompany him outside and teach him further. This could be made easier by using a leash for better control of the dog.

The Command

Training, in general, makes use of commands which are effective tool to communicate with the dog. However the main problem in here is the use of the words. What people don’t understand is that the dog simply can’t comprehend the meanings of the words if not introduced to him well.

So in dog potty training, the trainer has to introduce the meaning of the commands well in order to gain some good results. For example, you could begin with the word “outside” to send him the signal that he should go outside. Then it could be followed by the words “go potty” to make him understand that it is time to eliminate.

Whatever he does after, never fail to praise him (in acknowledgement of a favorable behavior) or punish him for failing to follow the commands. Doing this process repetitively will condition his thinking that when you say the words “outside” and “go potty” you want him to go out of the house to poop.

Three Principles on Dog Obedience Training

Posted by admin in Monday, August 11th 2008   Leave a reply   

Dogs, even when their breeding is maximized and well-adapted to human needs, would always need some basic obedience training for they would never figure this out on their own. Obedience training requires the use of some principles which differentiate effective training from training without results. They are the following:

Principle One: CONSISTENCY

The first rule in obedience training is to be consistent. This covers the use of words, tone, and the actions that accompany the word or command. During the beginning of the training, the trainer or the dog owner must decide what should be the parameters of training- what you are trying to teach the dog and how to do it.

A word or a phrase, let’s say “come”, does not make sense to a dog. He does not understand things the way human understands it and he does not understand the language we use. So to make the training understandable, you should use the command in a very consistent manner such that the dog will learn to associate the word with the meaning you attach with it.

For example, if you are using the command “come”, make sue that everyone in the household use it in a singular manner. The command “Come” specifically means that the dog should approach the giver of the command use it in that sense. So if you are using this command make it a point that you would not do actions that would make the command confusing for the dog.

If he does not come to you, do not force the dog to come to you and punish him for doing so. This would make him attribute the command with the punishment. What could you expect next?- he would not follow the same command since this leads to punishment.

Consistency also covers the use of the same command by all people. For example, if you are using the command “come”, other people in the household should not replace it with words like “here” or “come here boy”.

Principle Two: KEEP IT SHORT

The hours devoted to training and the words used as command should be kept short. Keep in mind that the attention span of dogs is very short that making them engrossed with a specific activity would be very hard, if not impossible. Puppies would only react to a specific stimulus at a very long time, for example chasing a moving toy car, and then they would lose interest and move on to the next thing.

They simply don’t posses the same amount of interest they had when they are staring the activity, they become easily bored. The same thing happens in training therefore, it should be limited only to 10 minutes to 15 minutes of regular training.

Principle Three: DO NOT USE FORCE and PUNISHMENT

Never hurt the dog if you want him to be trained. Also, never force the dog to follow the command if he is not prepared for it or punish a dog for something he did.

Don’t push the animal too hard while training. The dog does not understand that he should learn things “instantly” and he does not realize that you are becoming impatient with the speed he is picking up the training. All he knows is that you are mad.

So do not use force as this does not communicate your meaning properly, instead use negative reinforcement. If he knows that he is praised when he does something right, he should not be praised when he does not follow a command.
