Attention Training a Fear Aggressive Dog With E – Collar and Food

March 5, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

This video is “Jam Packed” with great information on training a fear aggressive dog with e-collar and food.

You will see the things we will teach our clients in the early stages of training their dog including dogs with all kinds of aggression.

The video shows how we start attention training with food and markers and then transition it to the e collar.

The purpose of this video is to give  a basic example of how the “e collar”, “remote collar”, ” shock collar” can be used in a system to help in the attention training process.

The e collar is an amazing tool when used properly in a system.

Regardless of what some trainers might tell you, the e collar can be used on fear aggressive dogs.   Remember, Its a tool not a method and like all tools it can be misused.

If you are an e collar advocate and like good quality training please share this video!!  Educate!!!

Enjoy!

Do Dogs Forget Obedience They Have Learned?

February 27, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Once in a while I hear people say, “ I did obedience with my dog but he forgets it all now”.  This is a statement that makes me shake my head.

I don’t believe this to be true. I believe if you train your dog to fully understand a name to a behaviour then they don’t completely forget it.

Over time, like us, if you don’t use it you loose it.  They will get sloppy and they will refuse BUT They don’t completely forget it.

Watch the video of Duke Ferguson working with his dog Nitro after a few months of being “Off Work”.

Lets see if Nitro has forgotten anything.

Enjoy!
