I have attached a photo of Dayle, a Canine Companion Inc service puppy in training. We tried to get a picture wearing the BD halter but a black halter doesn’t show up in a photo very well on a black dog!!!!!!!!!! He wears it every day on his walks and during training sessions. He is getting much better wearing it and since the design allows the muzzle piece to ride lower, the abrasion he got from the GL is completely healed. We are very happy.

Black Dog Wear Training Collar

My trainer at Canine Companions for Independence just loaned me a Back Dog training collar that she got in Australia. My pup had a sore near his eye from the Gentle Leader that rode up on him. NO knock on the GL as different dogs have different head structures. He seemed to not be as aggressively trying to remove the BD harness as he was with the other halter. Our boy does happen to be a BLACK DOG. we would love to be able to get Black Dog T-shirts from AUS. you should add them to your inventory (www.mytrainingstore.com)

Are you Clicker Training, or Training with a Clicker?

Meg — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:49:53 +0000

Are You Clicker Training, or Training with a Clicker?is a great article by Kathy Sdao. I like it because it addresses the fact that just because a trainer uses a clicker, they are not necessarily a clicker trainer. I have found in my consulting that some clients have been led to believe that it is the clicker that does the training – not the person behind the clicker. In our classes, we discuss that the clicker is not magic. The person using the clicker needs to understand a variety of elements including operant conditioning, the importance of timing and how to take small steps in their training to achieve positive results. Training is a mechanical skill and needs to be practiced and refined – thus, just because a trainer is using a clicker does not necessarily mean they understand clicker training.
