I SURE WOULD LIKE TO MEET THIS ,MAN AN KNOW HOW HE MAKES THAT DOG MIND/ HE IS GREAT.
-
I saw an earlier video about Skidboot, about how he started training just an ordinary farm dog, but obviously, he isn’t just an ordinary dog. Fascinating.
-
Fantastic !!! Skidboot and his owner are very close. What this man and Skidboot have created is an atr of love and devoition.
-
THIS DOG WON THE COMPETITION AND LIVED IN QUINLAN TEXAS,,,,HE IS NOW PASSED BUT HIS OWNER IS TRAINING ONE OF HIS OFFSPRINGS IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN…..HE IS A GREAT PERSON WITH ANIMALS….
-
Skidboot has a tremdous vocabularyand certainly want to please his master. Its wonderful to see humans and animals coexisting that way
-
I would like to give good Credit. petiently how to teach and
Trained,DOG and Bird, I really love them. -
The article is usefull for me. I’ll be coming back to your blog.
-
The article is ver good. Write please more
-
I really like your post. Does it copyright protected?
-
OMG this is the best great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hello. I think the article is really interesting. I am even interested in reading more. How soon will you update your blog?
-
This makes me believe again in the goodness of man and dog.
I raise dogs, I love dogs and people who love them too. Great to be able to share his accomplishments - both of them. -
This dog’s training is phenomenal! I wish I could get our dogs to do that! They are Border Collies and really smart, but I guess they’re smarter than me because I haven’t been THAT successful. Does this man have a book out on HOW to teach your dogs to do that?? Sure would be helpful.
-
That is so so so cool how old is your dog and what age he or she did this

PLEASE create a dog on dog agression video, covering both fear-based and dominant based.
-
I love this email and the commands given
-
Hi,thank’s for this vedeo training,i have three dogs on my home,and this training it’s more amazing,
-
Our dog Maggie is an angel but we have been training her incorrectly. She will be fine once we use your techniques. Thank you!
-
Great video, it is such a long time since I taught a dog these commands and better for a dog to understand than the old methods. Thank you.
-
Thanks for the video excellent basic training techniques and it works
-
Nice Video. Clear, very basic. Nice to see the promotion of non-force method. Positive reinforcement works!
-
I will try to be more consistent with these commands. As you know, Sharpeis are very headstrong and decide when they will come……..or not………….Max will come immediately if he suspects a treat, well after the training phase, but if he knows for sure, that your hands are empty will return to staring at the back yard rather than come as commanded…….
-
Excellent video ! I have a 7 month old Belgian Malinois in obedience classes and thoroughly enjoyed your basic, precise training advice/commands.
-
Love these down to earth and easily understood videos..great for the kids in the family..intend to use all of them..thanks!
-
WONDERFUL CHAPTERS. I HAVE TWO SCHNOODLES SO IT IS A BIT DIFFICULT TO TRAIN EACH SEPERATELY SO I DO IT TOGETHER. RESULTS ARE GOOD. WHAT ABOUT CONSTANT BARKING WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING?
-
thank’s helped out how do i get more info?
-
Thanks for the video! My dog(Panda Bear) has learned all the comands now except “come”. For some reason, she only comes if she’s in a confined area(the house or the yard). If she gets out of the yard or off the lease during a walk, it is very difficult to get her to come back.
-
Excellent training basics, even those who are diverse in training forget simple training and easy to use skills such as these. I have 2 rottweilers and i am currenlty back to basics training with them as i made the mistake of not continuing to practice the basics and both myself and the dogs have gotten “lazy”
-
my comment is very good video, how do you poddy train a puppy? Know that would be a good video.
-
Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!
-
I am happy to report that Anne is now a ’service’ pet for a sweet lady with polio. A doxie as a service pet? YES! Anne learned the schedule, how to behave while her owner is dressing, walking or relaxing. It is so wonderful to see this young dog become so dependable and attached to her owner. I am so proud of her!

I have 5 dachshunds and the emails are great.
I want to get them out of my bed and into thers bed, this will help. -
Great video with good instructions.
-
Well done. These are things that are easy to forget. Thanks for the video.
-
Great video. This is the second one that I have watched and found them to be very helpful.
-
Gretta and I almost understand each other but she can be very hard headed most of the time. I do get hot headed with her sometimes, but I don’t beat her. I think that your advice was good and we just have to put the time in to get the results we want.
-
I agree, great video and very good instruction. my 10yr old grandson will be able to use with his German shepherd.
-
Thanks for the informative video. I learn the fact my dog doesnt have a memory! My Golden Retriever has improved a lot thanks to your tips he is more obedient but seems to have a sense of humour and will still head for the socks as I carry the washing.
-
GREAT VIDEO, THIS IS VERY TRUE, I REALLY AGREE!
-
I remembered to use the GRRRRRRRRR sound at Max today to stop him from being rude to a passer by………..He stopped his bad behaviour immediately…………I think he wondered what happened to me to start sounding like his mother all of a sudden.
I will try to remember to not use the words………….Max, come in an angry tone………..Thanks for the advice! -
MORE! More! Love those videos. My 3 year old poodle still gives me the occasional growl and teeth but I’m learning not to back down-It’s getting better-She thinks she’s queen but your videos have given me a new direction in treating her aggressive behavior Thanks.
-
Great dog training information - My two little doggies sure needed it. Believe I will no longer have to wash my bedding do to muddy paw prints across my cream bedspread.
Thanks greatly for the information, I need to work on being the Alpha dog - Especially when we are at the park, they don’t listen to me at all, but do their own thing - which is not good.
How does one correct the off the leash problem - so they will follow along as you walk? -
I really enjoy these videos, they are very informative.
-
We never hit our dog. If she wets on the floor and we find it then she was “yelled” at, not realizing that she does not remember doing it and we must catch her in the act. She seldom wets on the floor but now we will handle it differently. Thanks
-
these are wonderful commands, I appreciate so much , especially for Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr command.
-
Thank you for having these videos posted. They are very helpful. They reminded me about the training I have taught my dogs and some of the stuff I had forgotten. I really like the training for the alpha, I did not know how to do this. I will try with both my dogs, and let them know I am their alpha. Thanks agian for teaching us how to interact with our loving pets on their level.
-
Nice Video. Clear, very basic. Nice to see promotion of non force method. Positive reinforcement works!
-
Informative video. I find using the “ACK” sound as the dog is in the act of doing something I don’t want, stops the dog in its tracks! (I’m not to good at growling!)
-
Not getting angry isn’t always easy, especially when something you really like is torn up by your dog. Dogs have no sense of monetary worth, unfortunatly! I try counting to ten and remembering this isn’t personal.. it’s just my dog having fun in his understanding.
-
Great video. Easy to understand and I love that it does not use force but uses ‘doggie psychology.’
-
I just watched this for the first time.
I think it is very informative.
Will look for your emails. -
Easy instructions, clearly delivered, well done.
-
Hi. These videos are really great. I just finished dog training school and it’s very close if not the same then what I was taught.
-
Skidboot was truly a “gifted” little guy. RIP Skidboot.
-
Could you please, Please make more of thes videos

Great informative video. Worth watching! Good job….
-
This is an excellent presentation and very helpful.
-
As a new dog owner…this video was “right on”. Very informative and concise…GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
-
Great video! Really appreciated the information.
-
Good information, will be difficult to leave her off our bed, because our floors are cold! Especially in the winter and she is so small. We know……just and excuse. Tank you for the great information. (**)
-
Male Siberian Huskies think they own the world.Thanks for the tips; I’ll try them and see what happens.
-
Thanks, I needed to hear this, for sure…………….I will try harder not just to be Max’s best friend, but the dominant pack leader…….This chocolate Sharpei nearly ate the meter reader today………..
-
very good video, very good.very true with my dog.
-
Great video. I’ll show to my children!
-
I tried the dominant growl and stance and he really seems to get it thanks
-
enjoyed reading this all thanks
-
enjoyed reading all this
-
great video.How about one on stopping dog on dog agression
-
nice training session ,especially since our female Bichon is so spoiled,
-
Very informative video, I already do some of it, but not all of it.
Would it be possible to do one on aggression to both people and dog’s.
Thank-you. -
Our Basset Hound is a “jumper” to greet us. We gently push her down and then pat her for being down. I’m sure this is confusing to her. We will turn or ignore her if she jumps up to greet us and will pat her when her behavior is good. Thanks for the info.
-
Brilliant video and very useful as my dog is a little spoilt!
Thank you -
Great information, very informative, I will pass on to friends I know can use the advice.I have 5 dogs 3 passive, two aggressive. Needless to say the two aggressives get into every once in a while, but one always remains in control.
-
Very good video, hope to try all that was shown. Would like tips on un wanted jumping up and face licking if possible

Thanks for your concern about “sweetie’s” well-being but we had to have her put to sleep about three months ago because of abdominal cancer. The new proprietor of this old house is named “Wendy” who we adopted from Canine Adoption and Rescue League (C-A-R-L’S) of Santa Paula, CA. According to the biography of Wendy (apparently a Pit-Boxer mix)published on the computer network, she had been abandoned in nearby Balcom Canyon where she tried to exist on lizards and rodents but had become emaciated partly due to the more excellent predators (coyotes) she was competing with for subsistence. CARL’s captured Wendy after some effort and nursed her back to excellent health whereupon she was offered for adoption. After they interviewed and inspected us for the privelege, we won the competition and now enjoy her companionship. Will contact you later regarding your vitamin laced product. It sounds like an excellent product.

We lost our beloved TimberStar in late January. Life will never be the same without her. Having a 99.9% Timberwolf was interesting to say the least, and trying to train her was something else! She was EXTREMELY food motivated, which helped. When she would get loose, she would wind up getting a ride home in a police cruiser! All they had to do was open the door and she would hop in. My beloved pet and loyal companion…………

I’m so”sorry”to read that you lost your Beloved Baby!! On June 30th of 2005 at 4pm,My CoCo Pup; Who was part Chocolate Lab & Timberwolf at only 7 Years Young;was put to sleep.He had developed Cancer & Lime Disease,from a Deer Tick.

CoCo Was My Constant Companion,Therapy Dog,& Hero.HE rescued Me From A Near House Fire,& Never Got Recognition For It.Not that I’m looking for anything,It still Hurts to this day!! Ya Know??However;Life does go on. I now have a beautiful,& loving Canaan Dog Named Tiki Sonyador Sirus, called Tiki.She is an Angel,COCo sent from Above. Comment By SMcCannell - July 9,2009

I have a dog named Tasha too… Anyway, my grandparents’ dog, Tish, died because she got really sick when they went to Mexico, when they got back, she wasn’t acting normal, she was about 16 years old, when i heard she had been put down, it felt like I couldn’t breath,I do see her sometimes though….

Losing an animal, be it a dog, cat, bird, is devistating. My husband passed away in 1999 at the age of 46, We had rescued a 6 week old puppy from the aspca in 1992. She was 1/3 shepard, 1/2 collie. Sandy was 7 years old when Steve died. I never knew how depressed an animal could get over the loss of their master. For 2 weeks she didnt leave his bed. He was disabled so he slept in a special bed. 7 years later to the date of my husbands death on sept 18th 2006, (watch the number7s in this letter) at 7 minutes after midnight my sandy passed away. After crying 24/7 for a solid month I knew I had to find a new puppy because my heart hadn’t smiled since I lost her. well believe it or not I saw an ad in the paper for a 7 week old fawn pug purebred. I always wanted one so I decided to buy her he was born on Sept 11, not a good day for America to start with, BUT she was born 7 days before sandy died. I knew it was meant to be. I have never been more right. He made my heart smile when he licked my face all I smelt was puppy breath. I loved it. My heart finally smiled again. I just wanted to end this with, today would have been my husbands 57th birthday. HE WAS BORN ON 7/7 !! Can u believe this? I now believe in fate. Happy Birthday Stephen. I will always love you………….your wife Katherine @==}==
Comment by Katherine — July 7, 2009 @
ok I have to make corrections for my comment up above. My pug BRUISER is a male. I think I said she and her I guess Sandy was on my mind. LOL. He is all male. My mom always said I did that all the time. with hims and hers and lefts and rights. LOL Oh well. Juswt wanted to correct that so u wouldnt think I was Nuts/ Have a great day …………Katherine.

I am very sorry for the loss of your Doberman, Miss Molly. It sounds like you were very close. One thing I’ve found about Dobermans is that they tend to pick their “human” and bond to the point where they never leave your side. I hope your pain eases soon, Debra.
We were fortunate enough to adopt the sister of our Dobie that passed. She was in a bad situation where she was kept in a crate most of the day and was drinking water from a hamster water bottle! I’m happy to say she’s in great shape now and is as sweet as her sister! She’s also my constant shadow, as her sister was.
God bless you too. All the best.

Dear Debra,
So often well meaning people say ” I know how you feel”.
So often, they have not shared the experience so they do not. They can not. In this case, I have and do. On November 5th 2007 at 6:30pm, I lost my beautiful Dobie girl 20 days short of her fourteenth birthday. Belka ( which means squirrel in Russian) was my best friend and companion through a serious illness. She was a playmate, a protector, and peacemaker. Everyone who met her walked away with a true understanding of what really matters in life. They also walked away understanding the Doberman breed and no longer viewed her kind with fear. One snort, one wiggle and it was ” all out paws down”. When she was diagnosed with Lymphoma in July, We travelled for her chemo and kept each others spirits up. I truly believed she would recover…..
For six months I could not even look at her picture. I can not say how sorry I am for your loss of Miss Molly. I can say losing Belka changed me and for the first time my heart was truly broken. What keeps me going is my husband who loved her too my two other Dobies( Duke a red boy and Shadow another black girl) and the belief that our beloveds are waiting for us to usher us into heaven. Stay Strong but let the tears come ( as mine are now). You are not alone. GOD BLESS AND HELP YOU AS WELL
Meg

Yep, unfortunately the longevity of our pets is one of the downfalls in our relationships. With each I lose I try to be grateful for the time I had and stay open for the next opportunity. Too bad not everyone attachs the personal sentiment to thier animals. My sad emotions lay with the countless animals that are abused. I am sorry you are experiencing this loss and hope your next compnion is just as wonderful….

Zeus n Thor are now 3 years old and they very healthy shih Tzus, both were fixed in Feb 2009, and they have not put on any weight. My boys are getting ready for a trip to Penna, and Texas, we need to get out of Michigan for awhile. I feed them Wellness dog food, they like it and of course they get their treats

I have two Leonbergers that weigh about 125 lbs. each. I supplement their dry food with Dr. Michael Fox’s homemade dog food recipe. My dogs love it. The supplement inludes bone meal, wheat germ, flaxseed oil, garlic, alfafa, and other healthy nutrients. They are 3 years old and in the best of health. They are my gentle giants. There is a website about Leonbergers at http://www.LeonbergerClubofAmerica.com. Check it out. Lots of pictures of these beautiful dogs.

I truly understand all of the losses. We have had the same feelings of loss with the death of our beloved golden retriever. It is such a horrible thing to lose your beloved pet. They are really such a part of our families. We now have another little darling golden who we love with all our hearts. Please get another dog. They need you and you will love again. Even though your hearts are breaking as mine was (never thought I would ever love another darling) you will! I promise. They all have something that makes them special. Love to all and keep cherishing your beloved dogs.
Comment by Emilie — July 14, 2009 @
I very sad to see our dogs die, they are another member of our family. It is indeed sad , and it is also very hard when you loose your animal.
There is no way to replace our beloved dogs, they are unique the same way each of us is unique in this universe. Only time will help to cure these wounds.
