Training Fido to perform agility equipment: the pause tableAlthough the pause table seems to be a very easy obstacle to perform, it is not. The pause table is probably the one obstacle where the most time is lost during a course run. The table is included on a course to demonstrate that an agility dog can not only run fast and perform spectacular obstacles, but that he can also be controlled in a stay position at a certain place. 10 Tips to live a better lifeBalance your calorie intake and your physical activity to achieve and maintain your healthy body weight.

How to Stop the Attention Seeking BarkingSome, or maybe most dogs will at an early age start to bark at their owners for attention. Most owners, through a lack of knowledge or out of frustration and impatience, would then respond by either calling the dog to them and trying to calm it, or by yelling at the dog to stop barking. This is exactly what the dog wanted. It does not take long for the dog to realise that if he barks, he receives attention. How To Become Your Dog’S Alpha DogThe domesticated dog has descended from the wolf and has over the years allowed mankind to tame it. The problem is that each and every dog, even your most beautiful miniature French Poodle, still has some wolf in him. Dogs have instincts that are so engraved into them and do not always realise just how much that affect their behaviours. Many, if not most, behaviour problems that we experience with our dogs, could have been prevented, had we better understood how their “wolf” instincts work. Methods Of Clicker Training A DogThe clicker work on the concept of association. The clicker is associated by some nice treat. It is therefor very important that the click will always be followed by a treat. The dog learns that if he hears a certain sound (the command) and he does a certain action (response to the command) then he will hear another sound (the click sound) and he will get a treat. How to Teach Fido to Come When Called – Every Time!The “recall” is probably the most important command you can teach your dog. This is also one command you will have to make sure your dog WILL succeed in every time you give the command. In other words do not give the command if you are not absolutely sure your dog will obey, even if you have to make him obey. German Shepherd Dog Training EssentialsOwning a German Shepherd Dog comes along with a great responsibility to train the dog. It is very important that the owner shall at least do basic obedience with their dog. That includes sit and down on command, sit and down stays and loose leash heeling. The recall command is probably the most important command of all for any dog, but even more so with the German Shepherd Dog. How to Train a Dog not to Bark at the Neighbours’ DogTraining suggestions on how to get a dog to stop barking at the neighbours’ dog through the fence. That is a common problem because most dogs that live in a fenced area consider that area their property and they need to protect it from anyone passing by, from dogs to postmen. Clicker Train Fido to DownThe down on command is extremely important and can save your dog’s life if properly trained. If for some reason, you have your dog off lead in a park and he sees a cat across the road, you will be very glad you trained him the down on command. This article teaches you to clicker train your dog to down. Don’t Let Fido Pull You!How often have you driven around and saw a dog taking his owner for a quick run around the block? This might well be the single most frustrating problem most dog owners experience with their dogs. Most dog owners just want their dogs to walk next to them with a loose leash or even without a leash. Nobody wants a dog pulling them around the block.
