    Q&A: Stupidest training tools ever invented?

    4901785296 698bebd46d m Q&A: Stupidest training tools ever invented?
    by US Army Africa

    Question by Clumsical ~ABCA Borders not AKC Barbies~: Stupidest training tools ever invented?
    What do you think is the stupidest training tool ever invented, and why?

    Me, harnesses. Harnesses were made for dogs that PULL things. Sled dogs, cart dogs, etc. all wore harnesses to help spread the weight more easily and make it less difficult for them to PULL. So, who’s brilliant idea was it that maybe a harness would stop a dog from pulling?
    I think the clicker, for dogs, doesn’t work. It does work wonders for animals that have to be “asked” to do something. Like a bird. You don’t tell a bird what to do. You ask, and if you ask nice enough, they may do it for you. The clicker is helpful in those regards. But dogs don’t work that way.

    Odd, then, since all of the “trainers” at Petco and Petsmart are telling their employees to get harnesses for their dogs. Maybe these people should just train them properly and then they don’t have to worry about their dogs’ tracheas?
    Just to clear things up, I don’t have a problem with harnesses being used for other purposes. But as a TRAINING TOOL, I thin they are pointless. And yes, I have had SEVERAL people tell me that the harness is meant to keep their dog from pulling.

    As far as the clickers, they have never worked on my dogs. And believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve had several trainers show me how to use them, all of which were baffled as to why it didn’t work. It just doesn’t work for some dogs.

    anything that a normal person can get hold of
    no bark collars
    shock collars
    prong collars
    choke collars
    crates, as most people think the dog learns to potty outside by being in it

    harnesses are for small dogs as they can get throat injuries easy with all the over breeding
    gentler leader fir on head and need to be fitted and told how toi use like any training tool

    dog grooming equipment and tools?

    Question by Roz: dog grooming equipment and tools?
    I am wanting got start a new career in dog grooming. I know an company near me is offering a course which is 24 days and gets you training in what you need to know for £3800 plus £500 for registration for exams with NPTC and you get a few things with that. But I am wondering when i become qualified would whoever I work for provide the tools or would I need to buy my own? Where would be the best place to buy them from and how much should i expect to pay?

    Any help would be grateful

    Best answer:

    Answer by mauveme49
    The price of that course is scandalous. You will learn nothing in 24 days. Go to a grooming salon and ask if you could apprentice with them. Tell them you will do it for nothing or very little, You will learn much more. We taught groomers basic clipping in a 16 week course for a third of that.
    There is a college near me that offers grooming courses that are several months long. And that just covers basic poodle grooming.

    Dogs- pets, tools, partners?

    Question by Schmabrador is BROWN: Dogs- pets, tools, partners?
    As i get a little deeper in the world of dog training, I’m noticing a split between the people that use their dogs as a tool, and those that keep a dog as a pet. I’m a pet owner, and my primary goal for training my dog to hunt is that it’s a great activity for me and him. I’m not a hard core hunter, and that’s not why I own him. That being said, I know a few people that do keep their dogs as a tool. They’re outdoor dogs, they live in kennels, and they’re trained as hunting tools. These dogs are excellently bred, receive extremely good care and are used to do the job for which they were bred- hunting birds. They don’t live in the house and are not fawned over by small children, but they are healthy and seem perfectly happy to me. I know similar scenarios exist for other disciplines as well.

    I admit I keep my dog as a pet mostly for my own benefit. He’d probably be happy in the field all day, even if it meant living in a kennel. I like to think he’s pretty happy with the arrangement we’ve worked out though icon smile Dogs pets, tools, partners?

    So the question- which is better for the dog? Do dogs that live their entire lives in kennels bother you? (I’m not talking about hoarding, puppy mill or abuse situations here) Are dogs meant for the home? Is this breed-specific? Random thoughts on the subject?

    Thanks!
    Holy H! Talk about yahoo glitch- this posted like, 6 times! i deleted them all I think. Yikes!

    Best answer:

    Answer by Animal Artwork & Arctic Eyes
    I view dogs as help-mates first and foremost. The fact that mine are also household pets is secondary to their primary purpose as a working dog.

    The only time I believe “house dog” or “pet” is breed specific is in the case of the breeds created entirely for companionship.

    Q&A: DS: For those of you that are against training tools?

    4904064402 77cbe0f208 m Q&A: DS: For those of you that are against training tools?
    by US Army Africa

    Question by Chaos the Mutt: DS: For those of you that are against training tools?
    Why are you against training tools?
    Do you have any factual evidence that proves that they are cruel?
    Do you even have any experience with them?

    I just can’t wrap my head around as to why they are so “cruel” and “torturous” Other than they look scary and the average owner doesn’t know how to use them.
    I use training tools and I see absolutely no problem with them. I have only seen well trained dogs come out of an owner using them properly.

    Any opinions welcome.
    BA will be chosen.
    Artchick- Any of them. E collars, Check Chains, Prong Collars, ect.
    @Tim- Again I said E collars, Prong Collars, Check Chains, ect.

    Best answer:

    Answer by Schmemdog springtime!
    Crappy, fly by night econo-brand e-collars. I wouldn’t put anything like that on my dog. I only use tried, tested and reputable brands (dogtra, tritronics). Not a good place to save a dollar or two.

    Dog Training Tips: Tools of the Trade

    default Dog Training Tips: Tools of the Trade

    www.dogtrainingbloginfo.com Tools Of The Trade A dog will respond to training such as the adult dog training, if the person training it has the knowledge and perseverance to make it happen. This kind of perseverance can be hard to come by, and it can be difficult to be patient. There is a lot of training such as dog training commands that can be done simply by what nature has furnished us with, such as our voice and our hands. However, to make the job easier there are numerous tools that we can buy. Dogs are, deep down, obedient animals by nature — but it is a matter of what they obey, and finding this can be a process of trial and error. Dogs are known to respond to what their ears tell them. They are well known for having an excellent sense of hearing in combination with their excellent sense of smell. This means that certain noises which are insignificant to humans will draw a reaction from a dog. Many trainers find that, where all else fails, it can be beneficial to use a whistle or a clicker like the dog training tricks. If a dog is misbehaving, making a short, sharp noise will get its attention like nothing else. Sometimes the wrong noise can hurt a dog’s ears — so you should research the product that you are buying to ensure that it is humane. Other tools can play on the other senses that a dog has. Although dogs cannot see as clearly as humans, they are responsive to motion. Holding one of the dog’s toys to teach it to show restraint can be very beneficial in
