1.01 - Pet Dog Training
Over the past 30 years or so, pet dog training has evolved as a specialized field of dog training. Pet dog training is one of the most complicated, challenging, sometimes frustrating, yet most thoroughly rewarding of endeavors. Pet dog training differs markedly from teaching competition dogs or working dogs, and from training animals for public shows. In all other fields of training, the syllabus is finite, and the handler knows both the rules and questions before the examination. With pet dog training, there are no rules, the questions are unknown, and the syllabus is infinite — comprising all aspects of a dog’s (and owner’s) behavior, temperament, and training.

Kudos for your site
Dr. Dunbar and associates: As a rescued-dog pet owner and further as an owner from the "old" school (last time I had a dog was 15 years ago), I want you to know how much I appreciate this site, your books, the concepts you promote, the practical approaches you teach, and the humor you bring. I live in the country, far away from 'professional' help, so I am relying on what I can read, watch, and hear to do my best by this new dog. As an aside, I made the mistake of watching one series of The Dog Whisperer (a DVD's-worth). Luckily, I had read Counter Culture first, so I was suspicious of this "whispering" and credit myself for having some critical thinking brain cells still extant. So I hope, with the new media of the web, and your site, and your blogs you succeed like mad! I hope your side bar ads produce copious income. Thanks much for this great effort.

Thank you!
Thank you for all you have done for the pet dog trainers. I have totally enjoyed your Iwoof broadcasts. I am checking back all the time for new additions. I am a trainer in a pet store and take your methods to my students all the time. Again, Thanks! Judy
