Congratualations to you both - are you going to do any further training?

And Shelby, don't suppose there is any chance of you making a journel type thing out of your next training course - would love to watch the progress of all those dogs you are about to train

That might be kind of interesting. It is going to be a very small class I think considering this is the first time we've ever offered it through the local park district. I think only 3 people. Small is nice sometimes though because you can spend more time with each person!

training can be a real pain. good luck, i'm trying to train my father in law at the moment. the dog has established himself as pack leader and more recently started getting more and more agressive towards visitors, natural behaviour as a pack leader, so we're training the owner to act as pack leader...

congrats on your dog passing!

 

[seffieuk]

does that mean your father-in-law will get more and more aggressive towards visitors sorry, couldn't resist

lol, no he's not a dog, but i'm not so sure about my mother in law.

 

[markandhisfish]

lol dont upset the mother in law!!!

 

[chrisbassist]

it's ok, she's deaf, and can't use a TV without help, nevermind the internet.

anyway, back on topic.....

What would you consider the most important aspects of training a dog? what is it most important to be doing? (or not doing, or make the dog do or not do)
