My bipeds were given some really bad advice when I was a puppy, they also received some really good advice. We met a number of trainers who only have one way of doing something and blame the dog if it doesn’t work.

I have a zillion things I did those first 6 months that seemed like great ideas but turned out very wrong. After reading this I decided to share one of them on my blog this morning in response. 🙂

[…] post was inspired by a question posed on Something Wagging This Way Comes. Have you ever taken good dog training advice only to have it backfire? Share […]

From the Husband (Pam’s, not Houndstooth’s):
Why is it that husbands are so seemingly glad to take advice from everyone but their wives? (Cf: Just About Any Mention of Pam’s Husband in Any of Pam’s Posts.)

You know, I’m one of those firm believer sin crate training. Not only is it good for things like housebreaking, but I’ve found when repairmen come over or things like that, its great to be able to put the girls in their crate. But then I got Riley, who hasn’t ben crated in almost 9 years of life. And my work schedule was such that I just couldn’t take the time to “train” him. So, I baby gated off the hall and it works just as well and he doesn’t freak out.

Cherie certainly looks relaxed in the photo. How did she cope with the bigger thunder? I’m so glad I’ve never had a dog who is petrified by thunder. Frankie and Beryl don’t like big thunder and sometimes look a bit anxious but soon settle down.

I’ve read, watched videos on and tried just about every training suggestion imaginable to get Frankie to walk nicely on a lead. All without a jot of success, so we mostly go places where he doesn’t have to be on a lead:) I call it management:) Some might call it giving up or quitting?

In reply to Erin. Nah. I'm still a shark with meat. Now my peoples train me with boring food, and they don't need to buy so many bandaids. I pay attention better too. Meat gets me all worked up and I can't think straight.

In reply to Toby. Haha was that bad advice or just bad implementation? ;))
