If your dog isn't this happy after a training session, the trainer is doing something wrong...

When your dog is so well trained that she lets go of an extremely high value treat (beef bones) when you ask her to and does not touch it till you permit her. Training done right.
P.S. I have worked on her food guarding since she was a puppy, and this is the result today!

Nimbu and Mirchi have had a pretty free rein when it comes to climbing on furniture. They sleep on our bed and none of us really mind it.
Why? Because they get off when we tell them to.
However, we thought it would be nice to have them used to a certain place in the house. And to this effect, I started training Mirchi to sit on a specific doormat. I plan on replacing them with cotton stuffed mattresses.
This is Mirchi, all.of 1.5 years, learning the Place command for the first time...And today was the first session...

After a training session, that happened after a long break, in which she got all the commands confused, it took a ball to get her this happy!

Montu was a 4-month-old German Shepherd with amazing energy. He lives in a farmhouse where he has his own shed and a huge bowl of water that he loves stepping in whenever he fancies a drink. Every time he was let out of the shed, he would bolt and run amok. Putting him on a leash was a challenge, and walking him on one was a bigger challenge, considering his handler was a 75-year-old. But, after a couple of corrective sessions, this is how he was on a leash - calm and composed!
If your dog is not walking calmly on a leash, get in touch with us!

Many people think they don't need to train their dog and/or training a dog is abuse...this article hopefully clears all doubts. Do comment with your questions :)

Getting a puppy of your own is probably the happiest feeling in the world. But that feeling in unlikely to last once he starts doing what all puppies

THIS is why you need a balanced trainer:

All-positive training is actually fantastic when you’re teaching your dog fun tricks. It’s not so great when your dog is acting inappropriately (showing aggression, jumping on people, lunging at other dogs or people, etc.). All-positive training can effectively get your dog to continue doing a behavior, but it usually doesn't work as well when you want your dog to stop doing something. Picture this: you’re walking your dog, he spots another pooch across the street, and starts lunging and pulling. To stop this behavior with all-positive training techniques, you’ll need to stop and use a reward to redirect his attention back to you. For that to work, your reward needs to be more enticing than the other dog (or whatever’s distracting him). Over time, those little liver treats will lose their appeal and you’ll need to up the ante. Using corrections in your training will teach your dog that any inappropriate behavior, from pulling on the leash to jumping on furniture to barking at the mailman is not acceptable.
