Just Say No To Protection Dog Training Videos

If you want to turn your loving, goofy pet dog into a vicious, paranoid attack machine, then by all means, follow the advice on protection dog training videos. Although there definitely are guard dogs and police dogs that can figure out only to attack the bad guys and leave everyone else alone, this is only because of intense, specialized training that they receive every single day. The average pet dog receives sporadic training, at best. There is nothing wrong with watching a protection dog training video. Just don’t try and mimic it.
Aggressive Abandoned Dogs
The most dangerous dog anyone in professional dog training faces is that of the aggressive pet dog. Aggression is one of the biggest reasons why dogs are abandoned in the millions every year. Granted, many shelters are discovering that many dogs abandoned for aggression actually have no aggression problems at all and that the previous owner lied. But there are many that do have aggression issues, often from someone trying to mimic a protection dog training video.
Despite the trend in America for no-kill shelters, many millions of unwanted dogs and cats are euthanized for lack of a home. The dogs that are euthanized right away and never go up for adoption are incredibly sick dogs and incredibly aggressive dogs. By teaching any dog with the methods in protection dog training videos, you are guaranteeing that your dog will be automatically put down if he should stray.
Dogs Are Not Weapons
If you really are worried about your personal protection, carry a weapon on you like a knife or a gun. Don’t rely on a dog as a four-footed weapon substitution. Despite the claims of some protection dog training videos, all dogs make really lousy personal protection.
If someone wants to rob you or beat you up, your dog is not gong to be any kind of obstacle to that criminal whatsoever. You will have the horror of watching your dog get killed in front of you and then you will get robbed or worse. No dog can outlive a gun. This fact usually isn’t mentioned in protection dog training videos.
In dog society, the leader of the pack is the one who does any attacking of intruders, while the members protect any youngsters and pick up the pieces. If you let your dog be the attacker, then you are not the dog’s pack leader. Your dog is the pack leader. Your dog has no reason to follow any instruction you give, because you are an underling.
Guard Dog Training Videos Don’t Help

There are many guard dog training videos available that make some pretty outlandish claims. They state things like any dog can be turned into a guard dog, that your dog will always be safe to be around after he’s learned the training and that a dog makes the best home protection in the world. All of these statements are false. A guard dog training video will not make your dog able to stop a determined thief. All you will get from these protection dog training videos is a dead dog.
Not All Dogs Have What It Takes
Guard dog training videos often claim that any dog can be turned into a four-legged attack weapon. Anyone who has been around dogs for more than ten minutes will know that this claim is baloney. The most popular dog breed in the world is the Labrador Retriever. They are notorious for being incredibly friendly dogs and have been known to absolutely delight in a visit from a thief or intruder. The most they can do is bark to let you know that a stranger is on the property.
Dogs Are Not Light Switches
Although some dogs are far more intelligent than people, most other dogs make generalizations. If some people are to be respected and never bitten, then all people need to be treated like that. Despite the claims of guard dog training videos, many dogs cannot turn the attack training on and off at a verbal command. If you want them to attack an intruder, then you are merely training your dog to attack every other human being on the planet.
How Thieves Work
Guard dogs are absolutely useless against thieves, despite what the makers of guard dog training videos would have you believe. If a thief knows there is a dog on the property, all they do is throw poisoned meat into the property or carry a loaded gun. The dog is quickly and often quietly killed in one way or another. And then the thief burgles your property anyway.
So, in conclusion, training your dog to be a guard dog with the help of guard dog training videos is a waste of time and money. Attack dogs like those in police forces undergo intense, specialized training and are often never sent to bring down a bad guy without backup from an armed officer. Please leave any attack dog behavior to the professionals and let your dog be a love bug.
Police Dog Training Videos: Kids, Don’t Do This At Home

Police dog training videos have been an invaluable tool to help train these magnificent canines to help protect and serve. Part of the reason that many police stations do not have a dog officer is that it costs so much to train a police dog and to get them further training sessions. With police dog training videos, the overall cost of acquiring a good police dog has gone down. But, anything on videotape or digital recording often gets viewed by people who really shouldn’t see it.
Not For Household Pets
Unless you are in the police force or a security company, please do not train your pet dog to do the things a police, army or guard dog can. Dogs have a tendency to see everything as a great game. When playing with each other, dogs like to play very rough, using their teeth. In guard dog training videos and police dog training videos, dogs are encouraged to use their sense of play and their instinct to play with their teeth.
Police and guard dogs are trained to aim for a person, knock them down and clamp their teeth on an arm or leg and then not let go until they hear their master’s command. These dogs are also trained to know when they are on duty and that when they are off-duty, some behaviors like biting are not allowed. These facts are usually not part of police dog training videos, because they would be superfluous information to people who work and live with these dogs every day.
Big Trouble
If a pet dog learns how to take a human being down with his or her teeth thinking that it was a game, they will play this game with everybody. Inevitably, the dog is put down and the owner sued into bankruptcy. The police dog training videos themselves are not to blame. Unsupervised kids or stupid pet dog owners are to blame.
If you have a child and a dog in your home, you need to supervise them regularly, just to be sure that the dog isn’t picking up any bad habits from the kids. If your dog has begun to pick up on potentially dangerous behaviors learned from mimicking police dog training videos, positive reinforcement and professional training can often help get rid of these habits. When in doubt, please muzzle your dog before going out in public. Old dogs can and do learn new tricks, good and bad.
Animal Lovers Should Be Shocked By Hunting Dog Training Videos
January 26, 2009 by Pat

In many modern hunting dog trials, no animal is actually hunted. A hunt is simulated and a pistol used only by a judge is shot into the air, but usually no animals are killed. Since the dogs are not judged on killing an animal, there’s no need for the prey animal to be killed. But hunting dog training videos often show grotesque actual hunts far away from field dog or gun dog trials.
Unnecessary Suffering
Hunting dog training videos focus on the things dogs do to assist a humans in the hunt. It is always the human that actually does the killing. In fact, the killing bite instinct has been bred out of a lot of breeds of dog, including the retriever breeds. Instead, depending on the breed of dog, the clever canines find the prey, flush it out into the open for the human to shoot and then bring back the killed prey.
Sadly, today’s sport hunters are not very good shots. They nick or maim their prey rather than kill them outright. This means that the dogs often wrestle and bring back agonized prey in hunting dog training videos. The trainer and camera person are often laughing about the feeble attempts for the prey to get away. A real animal lover – and someone who has to hunt for food – considers it a duty to minimize any suffering. Death for the prey is to be as quick as possible.
You also should never kill a prey animal just for the sake of shooting a hunting dog training video. Although there is an incredible outcry over the abuse of animals in television and movies, there needs to be just as much outrage over the suffering and death of prey animals in hunting dog training videos. If the dogs don’t need to kill animals as part of their training, then why bother killing them for dog hunting training videos?
What If?
Some proponents of dog hunting training videos showing actual deaths of animals claim that this merely is a picture of real life. But what about police dog training videos? Police dogs are trained to take down prisoners with their teeth. But the people used for practice are always in larger protective suits.
If you wanted to show real police dogs in real work, then why don’t they make videos with real prisoners without protective gear being taken down by dogs? It’s the same thing. If you don’t like real prisoners being used to train police dogs, then you shouldn’t use real animals to make a hunting dog training video.
Where To Find Dog Agility Training Videos
January 25, 2009 by Pat

As space and money for sports and hobbies dwindle, more and more people are discovering the joys of competing in dog sports. Dogs love it, too, because they are incredibly intelligent animals that need a job to do. They also need social interaction with other people and other dogs in order to stay calm and happy. One of the most popular dog sports in Europe, Canada and America is dog agility. Watching and studying dog agility training videos can help you teach the sport to your dog.
The Personality Of Your Dog
The best dog agility training videos will stress that agility is not a sport for all dogs. Some dogs are too ill to compete in all of the physical events required. Some dogs, due to past abuse, are either terrified of other dogs or terrified of strange people. But you can still use the tips from dog agility training videos to help your dog have some fun and gain confidence in the safety of your own back yard.
Young puppies or young big dogs with a growing skeleton should not be asked to the jumps in agility. Putting too much strain on their growing bodies – especially for medium to giant-sized breeds – makes them prone to injuries and hip dysplasia. Please talk with your vet to see if your dog is healthy enough to compete in dog agility.
Ask For Help
If you go into a pet supply store or go online looking for dog agility training videos, it can seem like you’ve been hit by a tidal wave of choices. You could try just any dog agility training video, but that can become an expensive experience. There are a lot of poorly made videos on dogs out there.
One of the best places you can go to ask for help in selecting any kind of dog videos, from agility to basic training to hunting dog training videos, is to go to an active internet forum about dogs in general or about agility in particular. Dog people are usually very vocal and free with their opinions and recommendations.
Other Tips
If you have small dog or a short-legged dog like a Pembroke Welsh Corgi or a Standard Dachshund, be sure that the dog agility training video actually talks about the special challenges presented to your dogs. The obstacles like jumps or hoops need to be positioned much lower to the ground than for dogs like Border Collies or Australian Shepherds, which seem to dominate the sport.
How To Use Dog Training Videos In Real Life
January 24, 2009 by Pat

Comments Off
Although they could be YouTube, DVD or videotape, instructional tips of dog training that you can watch over and over again are usually called dog training videos. There are many specialty videos or DVDs made for specific jobs your dog may have, including being a police dog, show dog or drug-sniffing dog. But the majority of dog training videos are made for the average dog owner in mind.
Like Recipe Books
Dog training videos are to be used a merely suggestions and helpful hints and not followed like gospel. Your dog will often not behave like the dogs in dog training videos. If you have a toy dog, it will be very hard to find dog training videos just for toy dogs. So, you have to get videos of trainers working with large dog breeds and have to improvise. It’s a bit like a cookbook, where following a recipe to the letter is merely optional, not a requirement for a good meal.
But there are some basic ingredients that should be a part of every dog’s life to help any advice from dog training videos to work. Your dog needs to have regular exercise, eat quality food (and not too much of it), have only occasional human food as treats, needs regular vet check ups and really needs to be spayed or neutered. Without the sex hormones running amuck in a dog’s brain, they are more ready to pay attention to you and to let you be the boss.
Positive Reinforcement
Whether you are looking for a video on housebreaking, general obedience or for dog agility training videos, you need to pay the most attention to those which feature positive reinforcement as the main training method. If you are given dog training videos featuring punishment or the use of gadgets like prong collars, chuck them in the trash. All you are learning from those videos is how to terrorize and abuse your dog. Your dog then becomes terrified of you and is more prone to bite and disobey.
Methods of positive reinforcement include clicker training and shaping. This is where undesired behavior is ignored and positive behavior rewarded with a click (or other marker noise) and a treat. Eventually, you won’t need to give a treat every single time you give a command. But in the beginning, it sure helps. You need to be patient, persistent and have a big sense of humor.
Finding Used Dog Training Equipment

Comments Off
If you’re looking to train your dog, there’s no need to buy brand new dog training equipment. You do need dog training equipment, and in some cases dog training videos, so that you know that you’re training your dog correctly. However, there is no rule that says you must go out and buy all new dog training equipment. The used equipment works just as good as the new, you just have to know where to look for it. You can get used dog training equipment, you can train your dog effectively and you can save money in the process. What could be better than that?
The Internet
The first place you should go for used dog training equipment is online. You can find anything on the internet these days, and used dog training equipment is no different. Log on and do a search using your favorite search engine. You should be able to find websites that sell used dog training equipment. Or, you can try an online auction site, where you can bid on used equipment. Another idea is one of the free classified ad sites where people are selling and even bartering used equipment.
Know What You’re Buying
Just like when you buy anything used, make sure you know what you’re getting when it comes to buying used dog training equipment. Pictures can be deceiving so make sure you see pictures at several angles if you’re going to buy online. Also, talk to the seller to make sure you trust who you’re getting the items from. The used dog training equipment should be in working order and should not be damaged in any way. If you want to train your dog correctly, make sure you’re absolutely certain that the equipment you’re getting is in good working order.
Pet Training Facilities
If you can’t find what you’re looking for online, you can always try a pet training facility where new equipment is often purchased every year or every few years. You might be able to catch them at a time when they’re buying new equipment. Try to make a deal to buy their old equipment. Or, if they’re not buying new equipment right now, try to get on a waiting list where you can buy their used dog training equipment when it becomes available.
These are all great places to find used dog training equipment. However, equipment is only half of the battle. You must show your pet lots of love, patience and attention if you hope to train it correctly. But this is a great way to train your dog and save money at the same time.
Can Civilians Use Police Dog Training Equipment?

Have you ever watched a police show like COPS and seen the K9 dogs hunt down a criminal? They know right where to go and they latch onto that perp until their commanding officer tells them to let go. They are vicious when they’re told to go after someone but they look very calm and loving whenever they are told to let go. How do these dogs get trained to be such good police dogs? Well, police use sophisticated techniques, commands and they use police dog training equipment. Police dog training equipment can teach your dog to become the ultimate guard dog if you know how to use it correctly. The only thing you have to figure out is how to get your hands on such equipment.
The Internet
Nowadays, there isn’t much you can’t get online. You can get anything you want if you know how to look for it. Police dog training equipment is no different. You are more likely to get used dog training equipment used by police officers, but at least you’ll know it’s the real deal. The best place to look for police dog training equipment is online. Just use your favorite search engine and you’re likely to find many web pages selling police dog training equipment that you can use to turn your dog into the ultimate guard dog.
Videos
Unless you know the techniques that police trainers use to turn their dogs into vicious criminal catchers, all the police dog training equipment in the world won’t do any good. You need to know how to use it and the commands to use as well. It’s not likely that police trainers will release their techniques as criminals would just be able to repeat those commands to make the dogs back off. However, you can find videos that will teach you how to use police dog training equipment to turn your dogs into guard dogs. You’ll learn how to give them commands to attack, how to get them to back off as well as how to make them watch out for intruders.
When you use police dog training equipment to train your dogs to watch your home, anyone who attempts to break into your home had better watch out. Police dog training equipment will teach them to latch on with all their might to an arm or a leg, it will teach them to chase their prey until they catch up to it and they will not stop until you give them the command to stop. That makes them the ultimate guard dogs and they will be on par with those dogs every criminal fears whenever they see the K9 trucks rolling in.
Hunting Dog Training Equipment Makes A Good Hunting Partner

Hunting dogs have been used for as long as dogs have been domesticated. They make fantastic hunting partners. If trained correctly, they will remain still and silent until the game is killed, and then they will retrieve or point out that game allowing you to know exactly where your game fell. They’re fast, they’re accurate and they’re extremely loyal. If you have a new dog, and you want to train it to become a good hunting dog, all you need is hunting dog training equipment. Just like police use police dog training equipment to train their dogs to hunt criminals, hunting dog training equipment will teach your dog the tools it needs to become the ultimate hunting partner.
Talk With An Expert
Teaching your dog to become a hunting dog is a little more complex than just buying hunting dog training equipment. You must work with your dog, you must have a lot of patience and you must reinforce your dog when it does what it’s supposed to. However, just so that you know you’re doing things correctly, you should always talk to an expert. After all, you don’t want to put in a lot of hard work only to have your hunting partner fail at the last minute. Hunting dog training equipment can help your dog become the ultimate hunting partner but you must use it correctly if you want it to work.
What You’re Training Your Dog To Do
You are using your hunting dog training equipment to train your dog to be by your side at all times while you’re hunting. The techniques will be different depending on what you’re hunting. If you’re hunting deer or anything on the ground, you want to train your dog to sit by your side and be silent so as not to scare the game away. Then, when you shoot your kill, you want to train your dog to seek out the dead animal on your command. Your dog should point at your kill so that you can find it where it landed. If you are hunting duck or anything that flies, your dog should be able to retrieve the bird, or whatever else you’ve killed, without puncturing it with its teeth.
The hunting dog training equipment should comprise of a choke collar, a leash, a dummy animal as well as a whistle or clicker. You want to emulate the act of hunting as much as possible, even if you’re training in your back yard, so that your dog knows exactly what to do when you’re finally out hunting. Again, make sure an expert looks over your training techniques so that you know you’re using the hunting dog training equipment properly. Happy hunting!
Is Dog Obedience Training Equipment Necessary?
January 20, 2009 by Pat

Comments Off
Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog and you want to train it to be obedient, do you really need dog obedience training equipment? Why can’t you just use a newspaper, some treats and a stern word? Isn’t that all you need to train your dog to be a good dog? It really depends on the age of your dog and the goals you have. If your dog is a puppy, you’re likely to have an easier time training it than if it’s an older dog. That’s not to say that it’s impossible to train an older dog; but the old adage is true: it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Therefore, if your dog is older, you probably do need dog obedience training equipment. Your goals will also dictate whether or not you need dog obedience training equipment. What do you want your dog to do? Or not to do?
The Dog’s Age
How old is your dog? Has your dog ever been trained before? Was that training successful? If your dog is a puppy, you may just need a choke collar, a leash, some treats and a lot of patience. However, those things (collar, leash, treats, etc.) could all be considered dog obedience training equipment. If your dog is a little older, and training has never really worked, you may want to consider getting more dog obedience training equipment such as blinders to help them focus, a whistle or clicker to reinforce your commands, treats (those are always good for any training regimen), as well as a squirt bottle or a newspaper. Remember never to hit your dog for any reason. A loud noise is all that’s required to alert your dog that it’s not doing the right thing.
Your Goals
What do you want your dog to do? If you just want it to sit, lay down, come or any of the other basic commands, the above dog obedience training equipment pieces will suffice. However, if you want your dog to be a hunting dog, for example, you may want to consider more specialized pieces of equipment such as hunting dog training equipment. A hunting dog needs to be trained to go after the kill, to either point at the kill or to bring it back. And if the dog is trained to bring it back, it should be trained to bring it back unscathed, that is to hold it in their mouth without putting puncture marks in it.
There is no right or wrong way to train your dog, but it’s always a good idea to get a few pieces of dog obedience training equipment if you’re really serious about training your dog.
Why Would Anyone Need Dog Agility Training Equipment?
January 19, 2009 by Pat

Comments Off
When shopping for dog obedience training equipment to show your new friend how to behave properly, you’ve probably come across dog agility training equipment and wondered why anyone would need that? Who, other than circus performers, would need their dogs to jump over high beams or run through hoops, or skirt through narrow obstacles? What would the average dog owner need with something like that? The answer is that the average dog owner probably wouldn’t need any of that dog agility training equipment. Dog agility training equipment is mainly for police dogs or any other dogs that must learn to move through obstacles. Yes, circus performers would use it, but so would people who want to enter their dogs into dog shows. However, the average dog owner would be amazed at how well they can train their dogs when they include dog agility training equipment with their normal training routines.
The Basics
If you’ve never trained your dog before, it’s best to start out with the basics before you even think about buying dog agility training equipment. Your dog must learn what the training process entails and you should start out slowly. If your dog is a puppy, teach it to go to the bathroom outside, teach it to sit and stay. Teach it to shake with its paw if you want. Then, when your dog has all of these basics down and he or she performs as commanded every time, then you can buy the dog agility training equipment and you can get to work.
A Large Area
For dog agility training equipment to be effective, your dog will need a lot of room to move around. It’s recommended that you work with the dog agility training equipment in your back yard or in a field. If you live in an apartment, dog agility training equipment probably isn’t going to work very well as your dog won’t have enough room to move around.
What Your Dog Can Accomplish
So what can be accomplished by working with your dog with dog agility training equipment? Your dog can learn to jump high at will, he or she can jump through hoops, he or she can learn to catch things such as hunting game or even people if it’s a guard dog. That’s why police officers often train their police dogs with dog agility training equipment. Dogs that are meant to catch perpetrators need agility training so that they can move through obstacles at will and so that they can outrun the people they’re supposed to catch. Your dog may not be a police dog, but your dog can be trained to be as agile as possible when dog agility training equipment is used properly.
What Sort Of Dog Training Equipment Do You Need?

Comments Off
When it comes to training your new dog, what sort of equipment should you use? Are plain old treats and a stern voice enough? Or do you need more specialized items if you want your dog to be fully trained? It all depends on how much you want to teach your dog as well as how serious you are about it. If you’re just trying to teach your dog to sit, you probably don’t need a bunch of equipment. However, if you have trying to teach your dog to do tricks as well as run around a track for something like a dog show, you’re going to need a little more than just plain old dog treats.
Sit, Stay And Roll Over
There are many things you can teach a dog to do. The most common tricks that people try to teach their dogs, besides how to be housetrained, is how to sit, stay and roll over. There are also tricks such as shaking the paw, playing dead and so on, but those are harder to teach than the basic three. To start, even if you just want to teach a few tricks, you should get some dog training equipment. You should get a choke collar. That’s a collar that’s made of chain that loops through itself. When the dog pulls on it, it sort of chokes them. It doesn’t hurt the dog but it does teach it not to pull on the leash. You’ll also want to get dog training equipment such as a leash, some treats and a clicker or a whistle. These will be used to reinforce the dog’s behavior.
Reinforcement
When teaching your dog with your dog training equipment, you want to focus more on reinforcement as opposed to punishment. If your dog isn’t listening to you, that’s your fault; it’s not the dog’s. When your dog does something you like, reinforce that behavior. Give it a treat when it sits like you want it to, give it a pat and tell it good boy or girl when it rolls over like you want. These will keep the dog interested and will make sure they know what you want them to do. When you use punishment, your dog may become confused and may not know why it’s being punished. That’s why you should always use positive reinforcement along with dog training equipment to teach your dog.
Training Your Dog
Use the dog training equipment such as the leash and the choke chain to set your boundaries. That way, your dog will know not to stray from the training ground. Use the clicker or whistle to instruct the dog to do whatever trick you’re teaching it and use the treats as positive reinforcement. The key to training your dog is consistency and persistence. It’s not going to take a day and it’s not going to take three days. It’s going to take a week or two or more for your dog to become fully trained. But as long as you stick with it, and show your dog how good he or she is doing, the sky’s the limit on what you can teach it to do. Who knows, you may be able to work with dog agility training equipment so that it can do real tricks like a police or circus dog. That will be way in the future, however. For now, you’d better stick to the basics so as not to confuse your new best friend.

When you finally decide to bring in a new dog to help protect the family and your home, it is important to make sure that enough proper training gets done. A guard dog will not be much of a guard dog without all of the correct training. This means that you are going to have to spend a lot of time making sure that your dog shapes up so that he or she can protect like you intended for him or her to. If you have not had a lot of experience training guard dogs then you should deeply consider picking up a guard dog training book.
Along with a basic command training book and a dog agility training book, the guard dog training book will give you the extra information you need to make sure that you get the results you wanted. It is important to make sure that you are getting a decent book as well or else you are going to end up with a major collection of books that will not do you any good. If you do not have the time or money to waste with all of that then you should make sure that you get a guard dog training book that is written by someone that truly knows what he or she is talking about. Research the book and see what other people say about that particular guard dog training book after they have bought it and read through the whole thing.
Finding Great Deals
When it comes to finding the best deal possible, it is important that you shop around a little and not just take the first book that you come across. Everyone can enjoy saving a little bit of money and there is no reason you should not save some too. Searching the web for the guard dog training book is a great place to start. If you do not mind used books then you will probably find the best deals through the online auctions. Even though you will have to pay a small shipping charge, it will still be worth it.
A thrift store or used book store is another great way to find excellent deals on guard dog training books. These books are often donated or sold after the previous owner has gotten all of the information they needed from the book. As long as they are in good enough condition to read there is nothing wrong with getting a gently used guard dog training book to start with. And once you are done reading it and learning everything you can from it you can then pass it on to someone else who needs it.
