Dogs Training

I am looking to send my dog to a boarding school that trains dogs (usually in one week increments) and need help finding good ones in Maine/New Hampshire. I know they are around $ 400-500 a week but I think it will be worth it. If you have any ideas or recommendations that would be great!

Not a good idea. You need to train with your dog, not send him away to strangers to train. You don’t know how they will treat the dog. They don’t know or care about him like you do.

Training is a bonding experience between dog and owner. Take him to obedience classes so YOU learn how to train him.

He will probably obey his trainer but if you don’t know how to train, he probably will not obey you .

Give your answer to this question below!

This video is on how to stop your puppy biting you. The technique of clicking the absence of biting was shown to me by my mentor Kyle Rayon, who is one of the most amazing and innovative trainers, though she is very modest! Dogs use their mouths to interact with their environment, so it is normal for a puppy to want to bite your hands or clothes. However in our society it is highly inappropriate. To train a puppy to stop using their mouth when interacting with humans is simple. All you have to do is set up training scenarios where your puppy would normally start biting and train an alternate response- calmly sitting, lying down, standing, or walking with a closed mouth. First you would start with the least arousing game- so simply just a reaching hand. As you reach, click or say “yes” and then feed a treat. As the puppy is successful you can progress to more and more arousing stimulus. You should not allow your dog to be man handled or petted roughly. Petting should not only be rewarding for the human but for the dog as well. However at some point in your dogs life, someone might get to your dog before you can stop them and be overly rough. You can prepare your dog for these situations by playing training games. But when these situations do occur in real life, respect your dog, and get them out of the stressful situation. Do practice handling exercises for grooming as well as vet visits regularly… Tips- These exercises should only be done by ADULTS. As children can
