I can’t help you with the barking but the pulling might be solved by the method i got from zak george. watch?v=vIdeT5S9u4Y. He also might need to be socialized with more dogs in a neutral environment. But I’m new at this so maybe a pro trainer would be more help

It would probably help if you went to a training class and learned some techniques to help your dog. We’re not born knowing how to train dogs, just as dogs aren’t born knowing how to behave politely.

@StopReadingThisXP Try a lose lead and get his attention using a food lure and work on a ‘watch me’ exercise. Look for a book called Feisty Fido.

But whenever during the walk, if he sees another dog up the street, he will start barking like crazy, and try to pull the leash and stuff to go and start a fighy or someething, I cant do anything about it and at that moment whatever i do, he doesnt listen. Just continues. HELP ME.

Though I do think a lot of what Cesar says shouldn’t just be thrown off as BS, I do agree that he leaves our a lot of great training elements, such as positive reinforcement obedience training, and the like. Cesar mostly works on getting humans to understand how dogs basically see the world, he dehumanizes the dogs, and shows the humans how to fulfill dog’s basic needs. But he doesn’t show how powerful positive reinforcement training is.

Ian saves lives: he saves families and pets. I am so glad Cesar is not on AP anymore. Cesar is a joke; he leaves out critical elements so the viewers drool over him, not helping dogs. Ian calls the humans on their behavior; it’s a learning curve for us, the dogs will be dogs.

Here’s a good piece of advice: check out a REAL dog training guide instead –> tinyurl . com / ycjomhz

Yes fixing a dog is like fixing a car, you follow these instructions to the letter everything will be great? You don’t train a dog you learn how to be a dog owner and think like a dog. Once you get the part about thinking like a dog you understand why things work and do not work. Then you can move on to conditioning and rewarding the good behavior. You redirect inappropriate behavior and reward the good stuff. There are merits to the crap in this video but not much.

One must realize that all “experts” have good points and bad points. It is necessary to take all and glean the information/training that will help you be a better dog trainer.

Disappointed in Dunbar for having a hand in removing Cesar’s show from animals planet over jealousy of the whispers success and his lack of.

I am so excited that you are pursuing an interest in this ever growing field! I am having such a great time learning! Dog training is all about experience. I started as a dog walker and now I am slowly working my way up. Dare I use the phrase “street cred”? lol. Life is so much more fun with animals, good for you for wanting to help them!=)

Aw ahaha, well both grow up to be ur big kids. oh yeah see that’s what I want, like on the job training! I don’t care about money yet, I’d like to find something that teaches more to the point. And may be more one on one. (there’s not even any tutors at our campus)

No, I am an old lady (23) hahaha. Just recently started moving towards the degree and getting my APDT certification. A local trainer is certified and is helping me along. Job shadowing is a great way to get some insight into the job (menial paperwork, arrrg!) and watching obedience classes is helpful too! I am having so much fun learning! I’ll have to break soon because our first baby is coming in May. Dogs or baby…? hmmm…;-)

Oh, you’re a teen too? I thought u were already past all this, darn. lol

For being a dog trainer, look into becoming certified by the APDT. It takes a LOT of time and experience under your belt for the certification, and you need to pass a 250 question exam. It is worth it though if training is what you want to do=)

Yes! There are animal behavior degrees, it is a form of psychology. Look into programs offered at different colleges. I am having a hard time finding a program in my state. Arg!

Hey um, sounds interesting. Hey is there a college major in that? I’m not interested in much at college, except ones that lead to a nature or animal job.

Love how he acknowledges that there are more than one way to train a dog and that the be all and end of all training is the effectiveness of owners in following through.

I see what you mean. I want to be a trainer myself but I know that there will be times when they will not listen, and not be happy when you inform them that they are doing it wrong and advise how to do it right.

Great video, as a trainer it is SO irritating to work with people who hire you, then don’t want to listen to you, then expect you to train their dog to be perfect in one hour. I enjoy watching the training shows on animal planet and NatGeo in my spare time, but I’ve seriously had owners say things like “well (insert famous trainer name here) fixed a dog like mine in one episode on their show…” People get dog’s and don’t realize it takes time to train them.
