http://www.DogProblems.com The “Purely Positive” Dog Training crowd would have you believe that using a pinch collar or a remote electronic collar/e-collar is cruel and inhumane.

But the one thing they can’t explain then is: Why is this dog so happy?

If correcting your dog is so inhumane, then this dog wouldn’t want to come out of the house!

The truth is: Dogs, like children, need to be told, “No.” They thrive on real world Dog Training and look forward to pleasing their owners.

To learn real world dog training techniques that work on any dog, subscribe to our free weekly dog training tips e-zine at: Dogproblems.com.

Cocker Spaniel

“The American Cocker Spaniel is a breed of dog that originated in the United Kingdom and was brought to Canada and then Spain and the United States in the late 1800s. American Cocker Spaniels were given their own AKC Stud Book in the early 1900s. By 1946, the English Cocker Spaniel was distinct enough in type from the “American” variety, that the American Kennel Club established it as a breed separate from the English Cocker Spaniel. It was given its own Stud Book and that left the “American” type to be known as the Cocker Spaniel in the United States. They are in the sporting breed group of dogs and are the smallest of their group. American Cocker Spaniels were used to flush out birds and prey from the brush so their masters could shoot them.

The English Cocker Spaniel is a breed of gun dog. There are 2 varieties of English Cocker Spaniels, the “field” or “working” cocker and “show” cocker. It is one of several varieties of spaniel and somewhat resembles its American cousin, the American Cocker Spaniel, although it’s closer to the working-dog form of the Field Spaniel and the Springer Spaniel. Outside the US, the breed is usually known simply as the Cocker Spaniel, as is the American Cocker Spaniel within the US. Due to the breed’s happy disposition and continuously wagging tail, it has been given the nickname “merry cocker”.”

Training Dogs is a wonderful way to further develop the natural bond between humans and dogs. A trained dog is a content, balanced and happy dog. Without any basic obedience training, a dog may well still be a wonderful companion and friend for you, but how do you know that your dog is safe, and reliable in all situations?

Abso feckin lutely me old china
Train your dog up to crufts obedience level and it’ll be as happy as a pig in shite, as balanced as Amy Winehouse on a 3 day bender, and as safe as houses in every possible situation.

Whenever I take my dog to Petsmart he’s always bullying the other dogs. No matter male or female. He’s great with other people approaching him, but if they have a dog that wants to play and it approaches mine, he’s growling and snarling and not wagging his tail in a playful manner. I took him to meet my bf’s dog lastnight he was fine with the Chihuahua, but meeting his other dog, who is twice his size, he wanted to attack him. The other dog wasn’t showing any signs of aggressiveness, he’s laid back and just wanted to sniff him…but my dog snarled and growled and wanted to fight. I have a boxer/pitbull mix. His name is Petey and he’s 2 years old. I also have another pitbull (female) named Jolee, she’s 4 yrs. old, and they get along great. How can I train Petey to not be aggressive around other dogs? It’s frustrating because he’s not the mean aggressive type and sends the wrong message to other dog owners that he’s vicious when he’s not. HELP!
I have stopped taking him to Petsmart. Jolee is the only one that can go with me, she doesn’t mind other dogs, male or female coming around her. She’s the complete opposite of Petey.
I can never take him off his leash, when we are out. He’s always on a leash, unless he’s at home or in the backyard.
Everytime he’s aggressive, I pull say "no" firmly, and pull him away from the situation and say "no" firmly again.

I can’t afford a professional trainer.

He may be trying to protect you, as someone said. But he may also be trying to protect himself. Some dogs do not like other dogs approaching them…..especially on leash. My own collie hates other dogs touching her, and would bite them if I let her. I simply don’t let her get into that situation. You are allowing other dogs to approach your dog……whether he likes it or not. I would personally stop allowing other dogs to come up to him. You may think that you are reading them well, but you <nor I, nor anyone else who is not a dog> cannot possibly read exactly what is going on between your dog and the other dog. Simply not allowing people to approach with other dogs will make him feel more relaxed. IF you get into a situation where someone allows their dog to come up to yours, you need to have a system to fall back on. I would put yourself between your dog and the other dog, and not allow interaction. In that way, you are telling your dog that you are in control of the situation, and he does not need to take any action. (You can train you dog to go behind you, by feeding him with a treat behind you, and putting a name to it, such as Back, Behind me, whatever word suits you.) Ask the owner of the other dog to take it away. IF your dog should start to growl because the other owner doesn’t have enough control…..or you didn’t read the situation quick enough…or <whatever>……move your dog away, ask it to Sit and Watch. Treat it for this behaviour. (Train the Sit and Watch at home, before you try it elsewhere. Then train it outside with no dogs about. Then in your house, with your other dog around.) You may find that actually training your dog another behaviour in place of the aggressive behaviour will be enough to stop the aggessive behaviour. This is because you are taking charge of the situation. You are demanding that the dog *do* something for you, and if you can achieve this, your dog will prefer to behave for you, rather than just take control of the situation himself. Remember to reward this heavily with really good treats. Dogs really do prefer that their owner take charge of situations…at the moment, you are simply standing there allowing the *dog* to take control, which is not what leadership is about. Leadership (and you should be the pack leader) is about protection, and about being in control of what is going on. That is not happening just now. Train your dog that *you* are in control. Ask for another behaviour…..train that behaviour. Nothing is beyond good training. Good Luck!!


Pretty much anything by Jean Donaldson, Patricia McConnel, or Brenda Aloff. I am a big fan of Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson. It’s not really a training book per-say but it does give you a good idea of how and why Dog Training works and what’s going on in your dog’s head. It is written so that the language is very easy for the lay-person to understand but it by no means dumbs down the subject. For clicker training, I really liked Clicking With Your Dog by Peggy Tillman. It gives step by step instructions with illustrations to help make the directions more clear. And it’s easy to understand.

Dogwise.com is an EXCELLENT website for great books on training and dog behavior.
