07 Settling the Springer

Dog Star Daily®  |  Tue, 01/18/2011 - 18:40

How do you get an 8 month old Springer to settle down when the family IS around the house?  The Dunbars address one of the biggest problems in the doggy world: out of control barking.  The solution may seem counter-intuitive, but the most effective way to get barking under control is to train your dog to bark on cue.  And of course, a stuffed chewtoy in her crate will give her something to keep her quietly occupied.

06 Leash Chewing & Car Chasing

Dog Star Daily®  |  Tue, 01/11/2011 - 10:21

In this episode the Dunbars answer a couple of questions submitted by SIRIUS® Puppy Training students.  How to stop a dog from chewing their leash when it’s attached to their collar?  How to stop a herding dog from chasing dogs on a walk?  Basically, walking is a deceptively difficult exercise, and it’s well worth taking the time to practice being outside without trying to go anywhere.

05 Protection Sports

Dog Star Daily®  |  Mon, 01/03/2011 - 15:35

Do protection sports promote aggressive or dangerous behavior in dogs? The Dunbars discuss the pros and cons of protections sports, including the huge amount of time and energy that they can require. Done well, these activities can be a wonderful learning and training experience for a dog, and a great way to build a positive relationship between dog and owner. A dog that has practiced protection sports properly is probably under much better control than one who hasn’t.

Here's a clip from my newest DVD, the concept is by my dear Japanese friend Kaoru Cooke and her husband Jeff Cooke and produced by Dancing Dog Productions. I really love the format of this project and it was a ton of fun to film it in Tokyo. I hope you enjoy! If you'd like to see the whole thing, the entire DVD can be found here. Cheers!

This is part of a training session with Cody, where we are working on practicing a settle from play. This is a great skill to teach all dogs. You can teach it in many different ways; In the blog above I discuss one way to start this very useful exercise.

Teaching your Dog to "Drop"

Chirag Patel  |  Wed, 12/15/2010 - 13:45

This video takes a look at a slightly different approach to teaching your dog or puppy to drop something out of their mouth compared to the traditional swapping approach. Using a more classical conditioning based approach I believe you can get very effective results as I demonstrate with my Kelpie, Cody.

You may have another variation or preference, love to hear more ideas on teaching this behaviour.

03 Socializing vs. Traumatizing

Dog Star Daily®  |  Wed, 12/15/2010 - 10:20

Is it possible to over-socialize a dog to the point that it becomes traumatic?  In this episode the Dunbars discuss the importance of giving your pup enough time to adjust to new people and situations.  A healthy puppy that was socialized during it’s first few weeks is nearly impossible to overwhelm with socialization.  If your pup is scared or overwhelmed, then they need  remedial socialization, done slowly, carefully and with lots of food treats.
