Oh, for the love of G-d, have any of you out there who are not trainers any
clue how few trainers bother to treat dogs as individuals? I can tell you from
a trainer's experience not many.
I just did a lesson where the previous dog was put down for biting. They
used a very popular trainer here in town. He took the dog and taught it to
sit, down, stay and a few other basics. But never taught them how to deal with
this dog. I am now dealing with the new dog. She is, of course, completely
different in personality. But the owners are not. And they could make her as
bad as the first one. So I stepped in to explain how to lead rather than be
bitten for following.
Most trainers have one way of training all dogs. But it works about 60
percent of the time and that is enough for most. I go for 100 % by catering my
words and deeds to the dog and family in front of me, not some program that is
prewritten.
But I also find myself repeating myself a lot more than I like. People can
be so predictable about their itty bitty poo's.

Barb is so right. NO two dogs are alike... in ANY breed. No one training
method, regardless of whether it is "traditional", clicker, treat, etc is
going to work with every dog. GOOD trainers tailor their training to the
DOG.
Then, if you are running classes for "pet" people, you also have to tailor
your methods for the owners .

BUT THE POINT I WANTED TO MAKE, IS THAT I NEVER BRED NOR SHOW-TRAINED ANY
TWO THAT WERE EXACTLY ALIKE..THEY ALL HAD THEIR LITTLE DIFFERENCES AND
LIKES
AND DISLIKES AND WHAT I CALL THEIR 'PRIVATE DRAGONS'...JUST LIKE PEOPLE.
WHEN YOU KNEW WHAT BUTTONS TO PUSH, YOU COULD CONTROL AND GUIDE THEM INTO
DOING WHATEVER YOU WANTED..BECAUSE GS'S WANT TO PLEASE THEIR MASTERS...THOSE
THEY LOVE AND ARE DEVOTED TO PLEASING.. BUT SO MANY TIMES THESE TRAINING
SCHOOLS PUT OUT PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY AS TRAINERS WHO ARE WHAT I CALL..'ONE
TRICK
PONIES'...THEY ATTEMPT TO TRAIN EVERY DOG EXACTLY ALIKE WITH A SET FORMULA
AND
PROGRAM... IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.. IT TAKES PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF EACH
DOG
AND TIME!!!!
YOU HAVE TO GET INSIDE THAT DOG'S HEAD AND LIVE WITH IT AND WORK WITH IT
AND AROUND IT, AND EARN YOUR POSITION OF TRUST AND DEVOTION...
THEN, THEY WOULD TURN CARTWHEELS FOR YOU, IF THEY COULD!!! JMO...BARB W.
