Dog Training Tips
The guidance on these pages is mainly taken from my experience of training my dogs and sometimes other people's dogs. I've also seen some very good trainers at work and they all have their own ways. I don't pretend to be an expert but I do believe we can all learn something from watching other people train or from hearing about their own training experiences. Sometimes another dog owner will tell you something that they've discovered about training their own dog and you wonder if the method will work for you. The only thing I can say is that as long as the method is kind and based on rewarding the dog for wanted behaviour then try it. Here's the first of the dog training tips pages.
