Comments from Jim Houssen
Training
dogs and improving the methods outlined since age 13. at least that
is when I figured out that I was training dogs ( now 52 ) Many schools
across Canada and the United States and as far away as Australia
and Sweden now are now using these "non-threatening method",
...Training with Love and Respect "NOT FOOD or FEAR".
What
this means is
Yes! ...we will use food if a positive motivation is needed "just
to get attention" then we drop the food idea very...very...quickly.
Yes!
we will use the choke chain as a correction tool if absolutely
needed. (example aggression).
We do have a choke chain on the dog for the sound that the links
create as they rub against each other, not to hang a dog.
Improperly used then it is indeed a choke chain. That is why we
call it a slip collar.
Why
do our methods work while others may not? Because we use methods
developed over thousands of years, naturally. We study Mother
Nature's way in every training segment and modify it for a human
to use.
There
is some conflict here with some trainers, but I would rather have
my dog do something for me because it loves me and respects me
"not" because of what the dog will get for a treat or because
it's afraid of me. The faster I wean off of food "if necessary",
the faster I will see a bond form between me and the dog. Besides,
to properly train with food you have to really be able to read
your dog in order to get him off food training at the correct
time. Do I use food training at all? Just for very young puppies
and just to get their attention. Oh yes I will consider and use
(if needed to motivate) food training for Flyball, Agility or
fun games where obedience is not the question, but having fun
is. When your son goes to a baseball game with you do you buy
him popcorn a hot dog and a soda pop? Sure you do, that's part
of the fun. When they go to school do you give them a cookie for
going today. No way! Very few people I have ever met can read
their dog well enough to use food in training. Many inexperienced
dog handlers become comfortable with the "he only does it for
food mentality". Sure it's easier, but do you really feel like
you solidified the bond between you and your dog? Would you give
your kid a cookie to go to bed on time? Imagine this with an eight
year old....
"Paula,
there is school tomorrow if you go to bed now I will give you
a cookie"....
Any guarenteed respect there? .... I can see it all now the wife
telling the husband to run to the store before 8 PM to get some
cookies so Paula will go to bed. With kids, respect and love together
make great kids. No matter what happens in a person's life a family
can get through it if there is genuine love with mutual respect.
Love without discipline equals problems with kids. Discipline
without love is just as bad or worse! Don't kid yourself you cannot
fool a kid or a dog..... they know when love is real. "How proud
we are when we call our dog to us at any time and the dog runs
up to the master with real love and will be attentive with respect".
Not for the cookie the dog may get, but for the genuine love it
has for you.
This
is what this training course and videos and CDROMs are all about.
So if you are interested in that kind of training these tapes are
