Clicking With Your Dog: Step-By-Step in Pictures (Book Review)
Posted by Joy Cagil in Puppy books, Puppy training, Weimaraner puppy on January 22nd, 2012
“Clicking with Your Dog” is one of those books I wish was around when I had my dog. The training concept here is simple, easy, and scientific. It is easy because of the use of a small clicker that makes a unique sound when pressed. It is scientific, because this type of training is based on “operant conditioning,” a term coined by B.F. Skinner who was an experimental psychologist and a behaviorist.
Clicking is based on the reward system and the owner’s friendly and positive relationship with his dog. The book can be used as a manual and a trainer can pick up from anywhere in the book to teach any one trick, after getting the dog used to receiving a reward with each click.
Unlike the traditional correction-based training, the clicker training is based on common sense and respecting the dog’s needs and character. Step-by-step illustrations explain the clicking process very clearly, and people who can’t wait to start can begin immediately.
Whether you start with a dog that is still a puppy or a dog with already established behavior problems, the clicker training program gives fool-proof results, Read the rest of this entry »
Silver Grey Weimaraner- the grey ghost
Posted by admin in Weimaraner puppy, Weimaraners on January 4th, 2012
The Weimaraner is an exuberant lover of life who needs an active and equally enthusiastic owner. To say the Weimaraner is boisterous would be an understatement. If you are looking for a lethargic couch dog, steer clear of the Weimaraner. If you are looking for a companion ready to hike miles into the wilderness with you, join you on regular runs, swim with you in the lake and curl up in bed with you at the end of the day, the Weimaraner may be the family member you are seeking.
High energy and stamina along with a strong scenting ability and intelligence make the Weimaraner an excellent hunting dog. Intense loyalty, a protective nature and an eagerness to obey its leader make the Weimaraner the perfect member of the right family-and a member of the family is just what a Weimaraner wants to be. However, a Weimaraner who does not receive adequate exercise, discipline and stimulation will take out its energy through unwanted behavior, and that could mean destruction to belongings and a headache for the entire family.

“Secrets to Dog Training” – Proven Ways to Jumpstart Your Puppies Training Program Right Away!
Posted by Stella Mak in Weimaraner puppy on January 19th, 2012
I had my first pet back in 1985 – a puppy. It was actually not intentional as my parents were against the idea of keeping a puppy because there was just too much responsibility involved. However, it was a case of bullying that got me my first puppy. Yes, somehow my brother’s dog did not like his son and insisted on biting him and the little puppy was only 3 weeks old. Not wanting the poor puppy to grow up into a depressed and unhappy dog, he came under my care and that was how I had to start my search for puppies training tips as I did not want my parents to throw the puppy out for messing up our house!

You can’t keep your pet? Really?
~By a Shelter Director
Our society needs a huge “Wake-up” call.
As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all…a “view from the inside” – if you will.
First off, any of you whom have surrendered a pet to a shelter or humane society should be made to work in the “back” of an animal shelter – for just ONE DAY.
Maybe if you saw the life drain from those sad, lost, confused eyes, you’d stop flagging the ads on here and help these animals find homes.
That puppy you just dropped off will most-likely end up in my shelter when it’s no longer a cute little puppy anymore.
Just so you know, there’s a 90% chance that your dog will never walk out back out, once entered in to the shelter system…
Purebred or not!
About 25% of all of the dogs that are “owner surrenders” or “strays” that come into a shelter are purebred dogs.
The most common excuses: “We’re moving and can’t take our dog (or cat).”
Really? Where are you moving to that doesn’t allow pets? Read the rest of this entry »
