I only use persuasive dog teaching methods. I do not need prong or tens (shock) collars. I have been teaching dogs for over 30 years.
My last dog was a Yellow lab / husky mix her name is Fredricka. She knew well over 60 tricks. Towards the end she lost control over her back legs. I tried and tried to find help for her but everyone wanted too much. We reached out to charities and no help. She still was eating and drinking fine and fully alert she just lost control over her back legs. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do
in my life. But her last night here we drank her favorite beer (bud bottle) and ate cheese. What sucks her heart got stronger after the vet gave her the deadly potion. This spiraled me into a very deep depression. A neighbor tried to help by giving me a really great deal on a pure bread german shepherd puppy but a stalker ended up poisoning it. That just threw me into even a deeper depression. I did stop teaching dogs during this time I just could not deal with the loss. Then the wild and crazy dog Ruby Doo came into my life after 5 years later and I still was really struggling with depression. My mom actually wanted Ruby Doo because she is a pretty dog. Ruby Doo was already 1 year hold and she was so absolutely wild and crazy the shelter had a warning on her paperwork to have 2 people handle her. They also told me she would be impossible to teach. So mom asked If I could teach Ruby Doo for her and I said I would. Well in reality my mom got Ruby Doo for me. Ruby Doo got me to a point I can at least deal with life a lot better. She currenlty knows over 60 tricks and several service dog tasks. She has won first place in 3 trick dog contests. Might have been 4 if Ruby Doo and I were kicked out of last years Dogtoberfest for advertising. I was not giving out pricing information or anything just showing off Rubys super cool dog tricks at the event. You would think people would appreciate the free entertainment but as always some toxic people came into my life. So now I am doing my best to stay positive and open minded so I can be the best dog teacher ever. Someone told me a rival dog teaching business complained not sure if its true or not but does make perfect sense. I can teach dogs anything from basic commands to tricks and service dog tasks and behavior modication.

I have investigated many of these online things saying they can give you a piece of paper allowing you public access. They all have turned out to be scams so far. You can not properly evaluate a dog online. Its these type of certifications that give service dogs a bad reputation. If you want FREE help teaching your dog you can go to Pawsuasive Dog Teaching and get FREE dog teaching help there.

Kick off the holiday season by adopting a new best friend! Our Black Friday Adoption Special begins this Friday, November 24th and will run through Sunday, November 26th. During the special, all dogs 30 pounds or more and all adult cats are fee-waived at our KC Campus for Animal Care, Zona Rosa Adoption Center and Petco Adoption Center on 95th Street in Overland Park. Pets living in foster homes also qualify for this special. We have hundreds of amazing pets looking for their perfect families. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to add a new furry friend to your home.
They have a dog trainer named Tyler that promotes the use of prong and shock collars. These devices even in the hands of professionals can still cause serious injury to dogs. I used to use these devices myself till I finally learned enough methods that I simply no longer need them.

It is so important when you have gear on your puppy that you check it daily to make sure it is not too tight even harnesses can cause harm in this way. Please Share, comment and invite your friends to Midwest Animal Resq .

My passion has been dog teaching for a long time, but just never really wanted to charge for my time. I just really enjoy seeing people do amazing things with their dogs. My last dog which was a yellow lab / husky mix knew over 60 words and 10 people by name. She is the one in the avatar picture for www.facebook.com/KCDogParks sitting pretty with treat on her nose. Got her when she was a small puppy cotton ball. She lived for almost 13 years and taught me so much about dog teaching. When I had to put her down it literally destroyed my world.
Well now a few years later Ruby came into my life. When I rescued her from Wayside she had a warning on her paperwork to have 2 people handler to show her to people. She was that wild and crazy. She was not treat or toy motivated at all. All she wanted to do is get out and run away. I just had a feeling that if I did not take her no one would or she would get someone that would end up having to put her down.
Well that first week was very iffy. She escaped 2 times shortly after I took her home. Also almost lost her to several different cars almost hitting her. That is when I decided the first thing to teach her is the word “IN”, which means to jump into the car. Which worked awesome because the next week or 2 she escaped a few more times. So it was nice to be able to chase her down with my car and open the back door as I drove up to her and told her IN. She would jump in and I would drive us back home.
Well ever since then I have worked with wild and crazy Ruby to shape her into one of the best taught dogs I have seen. Now a little over a year after I rescued this crazy dog, Ruby knows over 40 words and 2 people by name. My goal is to get her over 100 words. I am applying all the stuff Fredricka taught me to teaching Ruby and so far its working great.
Well people at dog parks keep on telling me I need to open a dog training business. Well here it is. I had to think of a good name though. I was thinking of Pawsitive Dog Training but that would be kind of false advertising since I do not use all positive training methods. How ever I do not believe that shock collars, prong collars and any other device designed to cause pain should be used. I do believe in the strong use of a negative marker, which most people teach your dog this regardless of if you know or not. Its just that they do not put it to good use in teaching.
When I do lessons I ask that the owner(s) be present, especially the first few lessons, I prefer that they be present at all the lessons. I could teach your dog to do many tricks but if you do not keep up my teaching or bring your dog for regular visits its kind of pointless. My fees are 10.00 cash per 30 minutes. Checks and Credit card add 10.00 per transaction. I will also do dog sitting from 6am to 9pm. Dog sitting costs are 5.00 per hour. You can also purchase teaching while I am dog sitting. I will record any teaching sessions and if you provide a digital storage device I will transfer the video to free of charge. If you wish to skype with your dog while I am sitting that is also an option.
