How To Train Dogs With the Least Effort.

Dog training tips can make it quicker and easier to get your message across to your dog. When training a dog, you need all the help and ideas you can muster.

Dog training aids are used for agility training and items such as a slip collar, aka “choke collar” or a head collar or head halter as some are known. There are leads that you can “snap” to make corrections with and we must include the CLICKER in the dog training aids category!

If you have an unruly or difficult dog, other than Clicker Training, one of the best dog training tips I can offer is to look seriously into The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan. His books and DVD’s are listed in our Dog Book and DVD Isle. Click on Cesar Millan Books or DVD’s.

The Dog Whisperer is not a trainer, but ho teaches how to COMMUNICATE with your dog which is vital in calming him down so he can learn.

If you’re not familiar with clicker dog training, you might like to read a little about the popular new-millennium method before going any farther.

Dog training aids include electronic dog collars that are activated by remote control. This allows the trainer to control the dog from a distance. They would use these in training rescue and police dogs, but not for our purpose with household pets.

The remote controls activate “shock” collars which give the dog a mild shock sensation to get his attention. The use of shock collars has been debated for a long time and is often frowned upon as inhumane.

There are whole online catalogs of dog training aids depending on how far you intend to go with your dog training.

Dog training aids also include a variety of electronic shock collars as mentioned and underground “invisible” fences that also act as shock devices to keep your dog from roaming past her boundaries. We do not believe in shocking dogs. There are other ways of accomplishing the same goal without electronic shocking.
