Nice to have you with us!

Welcome.

I have 2 Pugaliers.

Fukers bark to much at other people and trigger themselves off, one starts the other joins in like a fool.
Other than that, they are the best.

Used to own boxers, but these things are like mini red boxers :-)

I have a 5 year old hound mix....he's pretty well trained, he's spoiled rotten, but he's obedient and he's a VERY good watch dog.

Training animals is 100% behavioral psychology and myself having majored in psychology and understanding the concepts of the behavioral portion of it, I am able to train dogs fairly easily. House breaking, tricks, sitting and staying, all that kind of stuff, it's a piece of cake...let me know what your issue is and I'll try to give you a plan of action to acheive your goal.

Ive got a yellow lab, one of the dumbest things world. Still runs into the screen door at 5 years old. This summer i will be getting a bulldog, not the best running partner though...

I have what can best be described as a little wanker! Hes the dictator of the house...we are exactly alike in personality...therefore I both love and hate him! (this is a dog im on about by the way)

Does this only work with dogs?

I have a Welsh Corgi mix named Vishnu he is awesome, totally obidient, knows his commands and is nothing but polite to people when they come over. It took a lot of work and time to get him to be the dog he is today. Quite honestly a huge part of training is consistency, think about what you are rewarding and punishing your dog for.

Does this only work with dogs?

No it works with any living organism but it's more difficult the more complicated the animal. Children and domesticated animals are the easiest to work with because they are driven by fewer things or their drive is easier to understand/appease.

For my dog he mainly wants 2 things #1 Food #2 Attention/Affection...it's very easy to use food to train a dog but you also have to form a schedule (which sounds more difficult/strenuous than it actually is) with the treats and when they are handed out. You do NOT want to always give out a treat when your dog does a trick, you want to vary whether you give your dog a treat or affection and oddly enough that helps. Also the major thing is as soon as you can after the pet has done whatever trick you want them to do give them the reward...the same goes for punishment when they have done something bad. This is why if your dog craps in the house while you're at work it is pointless to try and discipline them because they will not remember it or already be sulking about it.

If you need any help with anything just let me know
