Dog Obedience Training?
July 29th, 2010
Anybody have any good communities where I can join for dog obedience training? Maybe some forums,classifieds,etc
Are you asking for online community support suggestions? dogforums.com and i-love-dogs.com are the 2 I think of. I may have asked a question on that second one about how to keep dog away from birdbath (marigolds). The community was friendly & helpful. YouTube may be another place you would like to watch and learn from professionals.
You will receive many opinions on training, you know that right?
Offline suggestions: Your local franchised or privately owned pet stores may have trainers on location. I agree, the kennel club will direct you. As may your local animal shelter/rescue. Our experience? We attended a local puppy kindergarten class, also kennel club obedience. We have also found success with clickertraining our Labrador. Best wishes.

You need hands-on training. Call your breeder and he/she can refer you to your local kennel club. Most KC’s offer obedience classes.

Just spend time with your dog. Tell him to do something, then put him in the position for what you said, then reward him. After a few minutes, he will know when you say "Sit", and he sits, he gets a treat.
That is how I trained my dog. Learning by association.
Just don’t teach him two tricks at a time. I would say sit, he would sit, then i would say shake and he would shake. Now when I say sit, he will sit and shake.
