DEalt with Dr. Dodman I am considering consulting a professional behaviorist-trainer for my dogs in my home. I have all yorkies most of them under the age of 1yr. I thinking of consulting with Dr. Dodman doing an online consult the cost is $250.00 for 1 dog or 1 problem I believe dealing with more then one dog. The charge is good for 6 months. I have bought several books on Yorkshire Terriers, but none of them are very specific on behavior issues, etc. I want to find some good informational books written especially about Yorkshire Terriers behaviors, aggression, pregnancy, health, etc. The books I have written are more of base level introductory information on Yorkshire Terriers. I want to make sure I find a trainer who has alot of experience with Yorkshire Terriers and not just trying to pass off their experience with other dogs as being sufficient. I don't want to have to settle just for the PACK CONCEPTif there is something better. I believe in some of these techniques, I just want to be informed and start in the proper direction to correct behavioral issues I am having with my dogs in my home. |
Dr Dodman is a good choice to talk to and you are not going to get any and I mean any pack crap non. Ok books on training and behaviour books depending on what you are looking for there are tons. Contol unleashed. click for calm anything by Dr McConnel and of course Dr Dodman. Depending on what you are looking for and if you can wait till I get home from showing dogs I can give you specific books on specfic troubles. JL |
Ok I lied a little I was part way through his book. He does believe in pack stuff but not to the extent that it is overwhelming. JL |
thank you I enjoy getting books and anything will help. Good luck at the showing event |
You should be able to find a local trainer who uses positive training methods. Just interview the person before you train with them. Check Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers for trainers in your area. The going rate around here is about $60-$100/hr for a private lesson and a lot of them come to your house. |
Another place to look be at Truly Dog Friendly » Truly Dog-Friendly Trainers Pat and the gang there including me are truly postive trainers although I am not listed at the site as I still need more training. And the other place although they are still limited numbers would be Find a Great Dog Trainer | Karen Pryor Academy As for the show we did great. thanks. JL |
