Benefits of Trick Training with Your Dog

- Improves the communication between you and your dog. You both learn to communicate better with each other.

- When done in a low stress situation trick training is extremely enjoyable for both you and your dog.

- Teaching your dog tricks can help improve your dog's behavior. Your dog probably won't stop barking at everything right away, But because you will be building a stronger bond it can help his / her behavior because he / she will be more likely to listen to you more closely. When communication improves, behavior often does as well.

Your trick training doesn’t need to include a bunch of complex tricks! Start out slow. Work on some simple tricks like shake, roll over, speak, fetch etc. It’s more important to interact with your dog than it is to get hung up on trying to learn extremely difficult tricks!

Starsky and his stunt double (Stewart) got together after the "Dogs in the Park" event this afternoon.

Chai came to the "Small Challenges Course" yesterday for a little confidence building session. He surprised us with his ability to take on the course "head on" We just took his leash off and let him explore for about 10 mins. Within a 1/2 hour he had it all figured out.

THE ADVENTURES OF STARSKY & PATCH Starsky has turned into a HUGE fan of toys. Stuffed toys don't last very long, but he loves to play with his real beef bones, nyla-bones and his rope toy, Check out the look on Patchs' face at the very beginning of the clip. She's like at me with her "Oh Lord, here we go Again!" look! ;p

TRAINING STARSKY Today we are celebrating Starsky's 6 Month anniversary of becoming a member of our family. I'm happy to announce that he has adjusted very well to his new life. We have all learned a lot from each other these past few months as well. He has a personality as big as the whole outdoors and the playful energy to match. He is very smart and he's learning to be a big help in training other dogs. I am looking forward to all of our years ahead. They are sure to be filled with fun, fulfillment and many new adventures.

Helping Dogs, and the Humans Who Love Them!

A Better Dog 4U offers Dog Obedience Training as well as Tips and Insights that will help give you a better understanding of your dog.

Living a happy and fulfilling life with your dog begins with an open line of communication. Once this communication is open, training is simply showing your dog what you want and expect from it.

At A Better Dog 4U our training methods are personality and relationship based. Our behavior reinforcement training is time proven and it gets results while making it fun for your dog to learn.

Successful dog training revolves around knowing the dog first. Training begins with understanding your dog’s personality, knowing it’s likes and dislikes and accurately timing reinforcement when a behavior is done correctly. Using consistent communication is the final step to successfully training a dog.
