I am a dog lover who came late to the realization that I really enjoy the companionship of my dogs. It was not until I started dating my wife and met her black cocker spaniel spiffy, that I started to realize how much dogs can contribute to your life. After Spiffy died, we got a chocolate lab named Katie who lived until she was ten years old. Katie was originally my stepson’s dog and we inherited her by default. It was Katie who taught me to love dogs, especially labs.

I trained Katie by getting lessons from a dog trainer who also trained military police dogs. We spent 5 or 6 Saturdays doing that for an hour each time. The training was successful and Katie was well trained enough to make us both relatively happy.

The next lab I got was also a chocolate lab named Roux who I got when he was 3 months old. I started with the clicker method and progressed to my own training techniques that I had accumulated over the years. I now use a training collar and we can walk three miles every morning through the neighborhood and neither of us needs a leash. The training collar is only necessary when we see a cat. I still haven’t been able to teach Roux not to chase that cat.

The most interesting approach that I have seen recently is train the owner. I remember during my readings for training Roux that someone said if your puppy misbehaves, hit yourself with the paper and not the dog. That means you didn’t train him well enough.

So here is an appropriately named course from an experienced dog trainer which tells you how to raise well trained dog owners.

I know from experience that every method for training dogs can be different. I have tried and used several. You have to choose what is best for you. I like this dog training manual. Check it out.
