I primarily wanted dogs because of training, it’s impossible to get such a strong bond without it, working together as one almost becoming the same being, there is nothing I love more

This is not a dog video. This is a how to live your life happily video. Awesome..simply awesome.

I love training my dog. It’s the most fun thing when you break through a tough training period. Bond with my dog more.

Mr. Robert, I love watching your videos..... It makes me escape, I feel Free I don’t worry about Bills, Stress, Problems , It brings my dogs, My family closer ,When I learned from your videos, God bless You And whoever is watching this video,

Robert, you are so right. I totally agree with you on this. A dog owner myself, I have a Belgian Malinois that I train regularly, people always tell me “your dog is so well behaved, it must be because of the breed, my dog never behaves like that well for me!” Which I find hilarious. Now, I’m prior military; 8 years in Infantry and specialized combat units in the Marine Corps, so that might be a factor in my success in my dog handling and training. But that being said, I always tell people, yes, my maligator does have a higher drive to work and is more apt and receptive to learning things faster than most regular dogs in general, but It would not be possible without me most definitely having to put in the considerable due diligence on a daily basis on my part. As a result, the relationship between my dog and I is one that is reciprocally harmonious us both. I get a dog that is calmed, well behaved and does what I want in private and in public, and my dog has the satisfaction of having a purposeful job while being stimulated both on a physical and mental level. A lot of dog owners get their canine companions with the irresponsible, careless mindset that they’re dog is just nothing more than mere fashionable accoutrements within their household and or personal lifestyle. They don’t put in the work needed and the dog in turn attains bad habits. The owner usually gets dissatisfied and frustrated with their dog, blaming the dog and wondering why it is the way it is. 9 times out of ten, it’s you dummy! like you mentioned in your video, they usually notice the problem too late in the game and it becomes a more difficult endeavor to un-train all those bad behaviors. What they should have been acknowledging is the true reality, which is that the dog is another living being, much like children, that needs and craves a human that will be a responsible leader/owner who should be prepared to commit of their time, energy, and effort to provide the proper, appropriate and consistent training, discipline, structure, boundaries, dog manners, that they really and truly need etc...laziness and/or willful ignorance on behalf of a lot of dog owners out there (Like you said, “It’s Not-All Dog Owners” but you know whats up and how it is!!) is basically the major culprit-cause for all those dogs you see in public that are so ill-mannered and exhibiting all those bad behaviors. Their aren’t bad dogs just bad or ignorant owners, Nuff said!! Like always, very well put and thoughtful messaging conveyed in your videos Robert!!!👌👍

👊🏼Much respect in regards to the comment about Cesar. I love that guy and even he (himself) says he’s not a trainer. He’s exactly what you said.

Robert, i wish more dog owners could hear you cause everything comes from structure and communication! Thank you again for all the information you share.

too many people consider a dog as a possession, not a partner in some activity

Great podcast in all the personal and dog related information you provide. You are so right and I respect you for your passionate regard for dogs. Due to the pandemic, classes are not available but your videos have been a Godsend. Thank you for convincing me that balanced training is the only way! Keep up the good work.

People often assume that out pets and people are mind readers. They are not. Communication takes full attention from both sides

Love your videos and have learned a lot. I'll continue to teach my heel from the right side because there aren't sidewalks where I live and when I do have to walk on the street, my dogs safety comes first. I do appreciate you explaining the left side rule because I was struggling to understand why it became the norm since we drive on the right side of the road here

As always, thank you so much for your thoughtful podcasts. Training is near and dear to my heart. We finally had a good setup for dogs at the shelter where I volunteer. (We were able to take a kennel dog to a training class on Sundays at the local German Shepherd Training Club (all breeds). The gal who set it up kept a log and it verified that the dogs who received training were adopted quickly and stayed in their homes. Things came to a halt with Covid but we are trying to start up again. Here's hoping! A quick note to all- Robert's membership is an incredible value! He is an excellent trainer and a clear voice of reason...

I subscribed to your site and it's the best decision, dog training wise of my life. Keep up the fantastic work Robert.

You have really changed you're entire demeanor over the past 3 years that I've been following you. Janet's been really good for you! I use to be scares to submit an "ask me anything question" but not anymore. Your channel is so good!

I did puppy classes and then started the A levels.. and then the lockdown happenend here in the Netherlands and I continued training at home and even though classes started back up I felt more enjoyment training by myself without distractions.. I feel at the classes it became some sort of competition between owners "my dog listens better than yours" and it has no appeal to me. Online classes are perfect to me.

I am wondering-Who are some of the trainers you watched that did impress you?! I love your kind, fair, common-sense approach! 👍🏻😃

thanks for all the info, i'm picking up my gsd pup in 2 weeks and trying to absorb all that i can and yours are the best blogs by far, i have learned so much from them.

Larry Krohn is also an excellent trainer Nate Schoemer is a great new trainer, love his approach. Robert Cabral - of course.

Great message! I often want to argument with some lazy dog owners about training and sometimes I hit a dead end on my part because I just can’t believe people are actually so ignorant, love from Brazil 💚

Great information. I've been enjoying your work for a few weeks.

As a car maintainance obsessive and regular tyre pressure checker I agree with you on every point. I appreciate getting lots of life tips from you in addition to the dog ones. I think you're a fine specimen. Smart and disciplined. Ps. I have a working-line German Shepherd and a Wire Fox Terrier. Both are obedient, healthy and a joy to own.

Excellent podcast once again Robert straight from the heart, I really hope people really listen to your great advice

Really like the new intro! "When I get my new puppy". Will you get another Malinois? That will be exciting and what amazing puppy videos you will produce, and incredible value to existing and future Members!

Thank you so much for all the excellent instruction you provide for us. We have two well behaved and happy labs. My wife and I give you a lot of the credit. We get a lot of positive comments about our dogs. We recommend you every chance we get.

I took my ESP dogs to training as soon as they were past their vacinations, it's the best thing you can do for dogs. They are both really well socialised & we have a close bond. They have great focus & they love learning new things, gives them great mental stimulus. Both are well adjusted, calm and happy. They are also well behaved and understand boundaries. Take your dog to classes it's worth it, and stick at it.

I like the way you speak robert -direct. Great videos and geting better every day.

Though I do not work with dogs that are pets (per say), and some videos I cannot apply. With that said, you are a wealth of information period. Even as a Raiser for guide dogs, you make sense. I always look for options within each session I do. Though I may not use every video, there is value within your words. Thank you! "Look ahead!" Love those 2 words. Perfect for guide training. Look ahead.

Ever inspiring, not just for training and bonding, but just life in general. On the singing, it's about how it makes you feel, rather than how others judge you. Sing aloud!, even if you're alone

Crates are great for pups for potty scheme, keeping them away from the other dog ('s food), for building separation, structure, ...

Watching this I'm so glad I live in Sweden. On our 3rd class now and my dog is soon 5 months old. There are tons of classes and different training opportunities with good trainers and I don't even live in a big city. If I drive for 30 minutes I have even more opportunities for training classes.

Thank you, you said!

Great comparison: martial arts and dog training.

Every second Sherman is with me may be an opportunity to train. You can train in the house, out of the house, going for a walk, , etc. the moments with our dogs and people should be cherished

The crate thing is something quite cultural. I am in Argentina. We don't travel by plane much, most of us, never take a plane in our entire lives. When all this animal planet channel stuff reach our country back in the 90, we looked at this crates on the tv shows like what are they doing? And even now, no one crates their dogs. We don't even have many crates in the market, except for cats going to the vet, or pets taking a plane. When I was a Breeder, I did used crates, to feed, for going to shows etc. I know how useful they are. But society would easily crucify me here for doing so or even make a legal complain

I've had a Labrador, German Shepherd and a Beagle. None of them were trained, turned out better family members then some humans with the same blood. Full of love and care for each of us. Not sure why humans feel the need to show authority over animals, they're smart enough to understand without words. I prefer they have their own personality than to obey my commands. Still respect to any and everyone who doesn't share the same thought process.

People,in my experience,want a certain puppy just as a show piece and they know absolutely nothing about that pups needs. All you have to do is talk to anyone in rescue centres,it's the same old story every time!! It is maddening. Thank you Robert ,love your honesty.👏👏

Great session!

I get so frustrated every time I visit my partner's parents and see how they have put zero work on training their well bred English Springer Spaniel puppy. This is their second English Springer Spaniel and the first one had severe behaviour problems which caused them to enable the bad behaviour even more. Living with that dog was extremely difficult and now they are repeating the same mistakes with the new puppy even though I have tried to help them and shown them what to do in different situations. At one point my partner's parents told me that they don't want to train the dog because they can't hold their nerve and they believe the puppy will just figure things out since it is a family member after all. The only good thing is that the dog obeys me and my partner really well - he's behaving like a different dog with us. My honest opinion is that these days some people are just lazy and want to feel comfortable with themselves which leads them to not train their dogs. This happens because their ego can't handle the fact that they have no clue how to train any animal and it is going to take some time to learn a new set of skills. In order to learn something, you need to put an effort to it. Because dogs are "fur babies" to their owners it is so easy to treat them like you would treat a little baby (or a Tamagotchi) - just fill their basic needs and cuddle them.

You’re awesome Robert!

Your opening remarks are so spot on.. You only get one shot at this life. Stop worrying about politics and focus on you!

You’re the man!!

Another great video Robert! Thank you! However, I just realized I am no longer receiving notifications that you have uploaded a new video. I am still subscribed and when I clicked on the bell, "All" has been selected. I checked spam and there is nothing there. Does anybody know why I don't get notified when Robert uploads another great video?

Sir Robert, as usual GREAT.

Hey Mr. Cabral Watch your podcasts and videos on dog training! Completed first set of puppy classes with pup last month I would have been kinda lost with training terminology if I hadn’t watched you. Loved the Kong video. We are enjoying our 2nd class and looking forward to the third this fall. I want to be a responsible owner. Completely understand discipline on all levels I was a fitness instructor. This podcast and question from Virginia hit home. Would Love to hear suggestions on what to do/act in a situation with a dog that’s off leash approaching us that seems aggressive! Trainers are telling me to either body block or throw a treat? People are so sensitive right now not sure how to address it Holly

I love your videos they are always really great help

I try my best but I am too soft but I don’t have your knowledge or experience. I watch you tubes all the time. I think I have spoilt him. He is the most loving dog and I always end up cuddling him.

It does help having the dog heel on the right when your a lefthanded shooter, also helps when tossing training dummy's with the dog in heel position for us lefty's.

Thank you from Norway ! 😊

Failure is a part of finding what you're good at.

I walk heels at left and right, depending on boulevard side and passing people/dogs.

Hi Robert, you've kindly answered one of my past questions on increasing the value of treats in the home for my 15 week old puppy, thank you for that. Indie is now 5 months old and I have also been wondered something else. I have been using meal times as training times which is working well but the sessions are short and sweet which leaves me with a lot of food left over, question is, do I feed the remaining food straight after the session? I have been waiting 5 mins after finishing and then asking her to sit and then feeding the rest by hand. I've been stuck on this so I hope you can help 👍

Some people Just like to Freestyle through life. Score a small dog and get silly with it realise it's so vulnerable when out so get a huge puppy now and let them figure it out.

I hope I was not too harsh saying this. 😊 But you are a great voice for trainers, and have great skills with dogs, therefore we expect you to be perfect. 😇

Robert, you rock.

I tried going to 2 trainers with my gsd but she didn't pick it up we stayed at both schools for 4 months and I started watching Roberts vids and she has become better trained I 1 month than those 8 with the other trainers

Hello Robert. Im a medically retired veteran, long story but ill briefly “touch the wave tops”. I was injured in war, forced to retire after 29 years, severe PTSD, alcohol, stood too close to the abyss to ever want to experience that again, became agoraphobic,wife brought home a dog to get me out of the house as a means to deal with PTSD, it worked, fell in love with him and his training to be my SD. Now I am apprenticing a dog trainer at a SD training organization so that to help other soldiers that are standing by the abyss, where I was. I have been working with dogs for about 5 years now. My own dogs not other’s. About 2 years ago, I started apprenticing and shadowing other qualified/certified dog trainers so that I too can become a dog trainer. I am hooked on it. My question for you is this; I recently heard a friend talking about not using treats to train her Dogo Argentino (currently a puppy). I’ve been very skeptic all of that so, off to Google U I went. Pretty much all the sites have a very flaky look and feel about them. The “trainers” on these pages don’t really explain why or what’s going on when they perform this training so, back to your channel. I have t made it through all your podcasts yet so I do t know if you’ve already addressed this or not, my apologies if you have. What are your thoughts on “treat-less training” for a dog? What is the prey drive being used to keep the dog motivated to learn. I truly don’t understand this method. Could you explain this? Is it an effective form of shaping and training a K9, from pup to adult dog?

So funny Robert. Great minds think alike. I just covered this same subject slant in one of my vids today. Then I see yours. Too funny.. ;-)

Hundreds of years ago, people had dogs but did not train them in the manner we do today because dogs were working dogs - they went out with people to do work, on the farms, in the fields, in hunting, herding, guarding, searching, protection, etc. With industrialisation and people moving into the large cities, owning dogs became an issue because the dogs became - jobless. They are outside their original breeding purposes. Jobless dog is a dog outside his genetical makeup, and needs a stimuli to keep his nature in balance; the training is the substitute for the satisfaction dogs would otherwise only get from work.

As in all relationships, communication is 2 ways. Dogs will never learn to think like a human. Therefore, the human must learn to think like the dog. Critical thinking is a diminishing skill. Dale is an excellent example.

I think , having spoken to many people, that people are confused by some "trainers" making things to scientific. Once I have had explained the simplicity of Marker Training, they are stunned at how easy it can be if the person is committed. The bond is enhanced through training , everything is so much better with a trained dog. Some people have told me that they don 't want to train their dog because they can't be bothered. That , I find frustrating. Great topic Robert. Sorry for short reply but not well at the moment. Apologies. Thank you : )

I know this video is 2 years old but thank you for the validation regarding walking the dog on the left. I am right handed, my twin sister is left handed and we grew up handing dogs on the left with no issues. I feel as awkward with a dog on my right as I would driving on the left ( guess I’d better never drive in England!) and I guess a trained dog on the right is better than an untrained one on the left but it still makes me cringe - almost as much as flexis, constantly tense leashes, and unfair corrections.

My sweet Lab before he passed years ago: Pant, pant, pant, mom do you need anything? How about a glass of water? Wait here, I'll go get it. Can I screw in that light bulb for you? My current sweet Pekingese dog: I'm royalty so don't bother me right now with your silly sit stay exercises. I'll get to it after a fashion. Oh, it's a game? OK, now I want to play the game with you. Just remember, I'm a little prince. Oh, wait, I need to sniff this flower first. I love all dogs and have trained many breeds in my lifetime, mine and for clients. No two dogs are the same. It's up to us humans to figure out a way to communicate with each one. Robert, I love your dedication, enthusiasm, and your methods. Thank you.

Robert your clarity of thought and movement is outstanding .

Love the comparison between martial arts and dog training, looking for the 'in,' the opportunity to shape, correct, and praise. I'm sure I'm smarter, fitter, and kinder since taking on my feisty GSD. My dog has changed my life and Robert Cabral has been key in my journey with my dog. Get off your ass and train - cheers!

Love you Sir

I live in the UK, we drive on the left. This means when walking on a road with no footpaths you should walk on the right facing oncoming traffic. So I condition my dogs to walk on my right, they are then in a safe position when walking down country lanes etc. I still see trainers in the UK walking dogs on the left because that is what they do in Europe and the US. I believe I am doing the right thing, am I wrong?

The guy who doesn’t use a kennel doesn’t understand the benefits. As you know, they are required at the shows and I am thankful for protecting my dogs from other dogs and at home to keep my dogs safe from having to be near people ex. Visitors or repair people that I may not feel are dog friendly. Thanks for your podcast. Love the difference they make.

People who never consider training and think crating dogs is cruel have never traveled with their dogs or experienced a natural disaster. Most pet friendly hotels require dogs to be crated. All shelters that allow pets during natural disasters require dogs to be kenneled. These are situations that most people never think of until they are in it. I love your honest and realistic opinions.

In about a month, for the first time in my life I will be able to get my own dog. There are a couple reasons why I want one and the first is for a human - animal companionship but the second reason is that I want to become a dog trainer and for that I need experience. Putting that aside, I know that they are seriously considering adding in a new class in schools called nature studies which will focus on teaching people (not just kids) about the natural world which I think is very important, I believe there should be something similar for domesticated animals. A lot of people will get an animal without knowing enough about them. Birds are the perfect example. Like dogs, birds have specific diets which need to be followed, yet a lot of pet stores or maybe even vets will suggest all seed diets which is very bad for them. At the very least, something like that could potentially stop or at least limit impulse buyers.

ROFLOL I'm in tears 26:23 Roberts face :D :D :D

Good ol’ Dale’s of the world.

I have to admit I like to attend group sessions. Could be my age. It gets the dog used to working in a high distraction environment. And exercises such as where you put 5 dogs in a stay - in a circle facing inwards and then all owners walk in the circle and around them. How do you replicate these things online? Other dogs are the greatest distraction.

I respectfully disagree on the firm walking on the left. Walking in the city with tons of bad mannered dogs has taught me no matter how good my dog is, walking them on the side walk passing by another person who has their reactive dog on a flexilead is a hazard and sets my dog back in training. So we always have our dogs on the right where we can be between them and those walking past

I’m working with my dogs aggression. She saw a dog across the street, bolted out the door. I yelled NO! And she stopped on her tracks. turned around and came to me. She would have gotten hit by a car that was passing by. I was like wtf just happened, it happened so quickly.

I've listened to many of your pod casts, and watched many many of your videos, this was by far the best I've seen! You're awesome Robert, keep on keeping on buddy! For the rest of you, to quote Robert, get off your ass, train your dog!

Stephen King, the writer, once said: talent is cheap as table salt. But it doesn't matter a damn thing if you never write one word. That is the same thing with everything else. I, too, come from a martial art background, so many talented people, but they don't put in the work. Dogs? Same thing. Put in the work, and results will show. Nothing worth achieving will come easy, or for free. Enjoy the way, not the result.

Never watch news or buy a paper, haven't done for over 15 yrs, watch you tube , watch my favorite trainers , dogs & horses. Love your training methods.❤

Hello robert. How long do you usually take to train a dog? I mean not intense training but common stuffs.

well, lots of dogs seem to "function" nicely without any kind of training. Took care of some when "house-sitting". While no one in his right mind would keep horses that are not halter trained on his farm, dogs are accepted to just run along. On the long hand, they go crazy and commit lots of nonsense, even when not aggressive and nice dogs by nature. Most of them are really HAPPY when taken care of, given some rules and be praised and rewarded for compliance. Most people would be much more relaxed if their dogs obeyed - no runnig away (out of boredom?), no hunting, no biting and chasing other animals or joggers' heels, no barking... even less anxiety and calmer dogs. I'm no dog-, but a cat- and horse-woman. Cared for a hand full of dogs, though. Giving them a clear "NO!", a clear order, a clear praise for obedience and cooperation, they built up confidence, trust and sympathy in a very fast way. I was astonished as I never was very confident with dogs. But in the end they came to ME and signalled: Hey, you are cool, I trust you and at least will consider to do what you want me to. :) Its not easy, I never learned handling dogs like I did riding and horse caring, i. e. Nobody would climb a horse and ride along without any training - they would fall on their faces. The fact that this does not happen with a dog does not mean, you do NOT have to learn the basics. A bored to death, disobedient and out of control dog is just pain in the a*** and no fun at all. Due to lack of time and purpose I do NOT own a dog nor do I want one. And I know why... Other folks would also be better off without dogs.

I believe that everyone should try a lot of different hobbies.. I do heaps of different things, but I'm not a master at any of them. Recently being dog training, but who cares, I don't need to be a master at it. As long as I'm having fun, it's all good.

Love the channel. NEW subscriber here. I just purchased a 10 week old dutch shepherd puppy. I bought here a crate how can I get to sleep in her crate. When we play tug she starts growling is this good or bad. Should I just take her to a dog trainer now or a bit later.

Unfortunately a lot of people get small dogs because they feel that they don't need training. They're small, so you can pick them up easily, and their bark isn't that loud, and their mouth isn't so big, so they're not a threat to anyone. Some of them even think small dogs can't be trained, which is of course ridiculous.

Actually brought home a herding dog- Border Collie. While he was super curious about our three cats, once he got scratched, he backed off. I actually had to correct the cats more than I had to correct the dog! They would harass him until they realized he was part of the family and they just had to deal with it.

Either people don't know how, get conflicting information and don't know what to believe, or don't understand dog behavior.

I grew up with dogs, my mom study to be a vet and her side of the family breed and trained show dogs. so it so strange to me when i see these dogs out so outrageous cause that stuff we would never allow in our house. People don't even keep up with basic grooming. I admit i'm not a pro mma or anything like that. i did do street fighting and stuff like that when younger. and competitive stuff. I could tell you when my dog was gonna do something during training i didn't want though. like when she wanted to run out the door, her body behind her front legs would tense up so i would correct it before it happen and remind her not to. Me could go in public and everything just fine. she was a bull terrier/german shepard mix. so hyper was a problem. but she remained calm when reminded if needed. we've had other dogs come at us but she didn't react because i took control of it all. and for basic stuff, we could work on hand signs and clicks only. magical feeling to be that insync with something. and i want to improve because i have more passion for my dog then myself , is why i found your videos and others. classes in real life i found so far, has been positive only and i don't believe in that. I believe in balance. Thanks for the videos though, it great to find information for me to sample from so i can improve what works for me. and I've noticed when working on my dog , i tend to improve on myself to during it by just having to adjust to keep up with what i need for the dog. Next dog i plan will be a German Shepard puppy but i need a more stable base before i will get one.

I love what you put out and also the manner in which you do you have that calm approach I have a a child chow and a Australian cattle dog mix you may have some German Shepherd in her but the point is when we got a new puppy okay and he's kind of a little bit of pitbull but he has the floppy ears and all that stuff well I watch him play together and I mean hurt the way she turned her neck that she has that you know that neck the way she twists and turns your neck and throws him down and all that you know but she can get out at she has pulled out of her collar before that they have the snap collars and of course I have the choke collar with a chain on it with me but she she snapped her neck and pulled the college's falls off and it was it seemed to fit everything so she can quit her neck and she can I don't know if it's the other this puppies about seven months now his neck is shaped differently and I don't think that he's hurting he does know hurting technique in him she would hurt her toys I heard herding but anyway I'm just find it interesting when you said that not all dogs can do the same thing and I mean it's just the fact and I know that she would never I know do not and probably won't ever have a dog like goofy that dog I want to hear it was recently that was that was just incredible I loved it thank you😮😂❤

They don't realize it's a lifetime commitment. I advise clients ( some of whom I decline to work with) that it's not an event but a process.

It hurts me to see that somebody wants to put you in a crate. All my dogs are crate trained and it helps in many ways. We appreciate your time and wisdom. People are.much dumber than dogs. Thank you so much. 🐕❤🐕

Hi Robert I can’t believe what that guy putting you down he should look at him self I don’t like people like that they should learn to keep things to them selves

I know more than the average person about, about 7-10 subjects. Prisons and dogs are 2 of those subjects. definitely some (whatever the reason) that will react 💯

How or what do you do to make the dog "work" for their food? And what if your dog is a "picky eater"...

Caesar doesn’t train dogs, he train humans 😀👀.. that’s what he says anyway lol. You do a fantastic job Robert! Thanks for the vids

Listen closely at 23:30 ... he is a top level dog handler of abandoned dogs in shelters. The simple answer to the question is that owners of dogs do NOT want to train a dog and want to make excuses instead.

2 years of SAR training year of PPD training 15 years of joy im proud my loony reminds of goofy 😂

And you wonder why people are listening to you, Robert... :-). Thank you for your truth-speak. Interesting philosophy you shared on the impact of “death” or negatively speaking about others...one fool, three deaths.

I think in order to be a good trainer; you have to be somewhat of a documented/undocumented animal behaviorist. You can't get the utmost from a dog, unless you can read it appropriately. For example, I have a small team of trainers in Germany. The very first thing they do, when 1 of my dogs arrive; is assessment. Once that is done, they mentally create a training program specifically for my dog. So yes, they analyze what precisely makes any one of my dogs; tick. Food, balls, kongs, whistles whatever. What remains an absolute priority for them is to make the Schutzhund / IPO / IGP 100% FUN! These dogs have no idea they have signed onto a Schutzhund / IPO / IGP III training program. The dogs have the time of there lives going to "work" 3-5 times a week! That's the way it should be; right? When joining a puppy/ dog trainer class; I personally feel that the owner needs to establish his / her realistic goals and expectations before doing so. Otherwise both you and the dog go for an 8, 10, 12 week ride; then it's over. In too many cases the owner doesn't realize whether the course / trainer was good, bad or indifferent; until the course is over. If you establish goals at the very onset of the course; then & only then you'll have goals that you want you're dog to meet. What's vitally important when taking a class is doing you're homework! If you don't, don't waste both you're money & the dog's time. The better he / she does at home during the week; the better the dog will do at the next session. It's that simple!

You dont genuinely believe it's to late to train a dog? I think most dogs can be trained no matter what age...with patience and time...correct ?

The dogs that can deal with a coyote pack are dominant agressive k9s who need an experienced owner .

Al these people that don't beleive in corrections or purely positive need to be given a 6 to 12 month high drive mal for a few months
