Venture Dog Training

You don’t have to believe in positive reinforcement… it’s already happening.

If something works, your dog will do it more. Same as us.

The real question is—are you using it on purpose or leaving it to chance?

Easily the best thing to do in hot weather, if you're not at the beach or in a beer garden, is the washing.

Please don't take your dog for a walk until it cools down.

What if the trainer chose to use methods that caused your dog physical or mental discomfort?
Would that be OK?

Let’s be serious…. Ditch the labels, crawl out from under the rock and do what’s right for the dogs.

I’m so tired of these insane labels that people hide behind. Train the dog in front of you. The labels mean NOTHING!

The divisiveness spreads everywhere… race, religion, nationality, s*x and dog training ideology.

Here’s my take, if you’re helping dogs, if you’re not sitting dogs, if you care to make the world better for dogs AND the people who love them, it’s all good!

Who is brave enough to set aside the label and put the dogs first. I know some of you will …. But who?

Your dog trainer should always explain what you are teaching your dog, why it benefits both you and your dog, and how you teach it.

Are we still in the mindset with companion dogs of commanding them to obey us?
Or should we be training our dogs to do things that benefit both human and dog?
Train, Prevent, and Interrupt.

Sniffing and scent is how your dog gets the majority of its information and is how it interprets the world.
It's also annoying to lots of owners. So why not flip things around and use it as a reward while teaching the thing you want your dog to do.

Teaching regular people who have gundog breeds doesn't have to be the same as training your own dog to competition standard.
