Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So there is a surge of new puppy owners lately! I thought this would be a good way to consolidate a lot of the good force free/ positive reinforcement articles that I find and enjoy.

I used to be a "punishment" and "balanced" trainer but have strayed from that the past few years and find much better, more fun, more solid results without the use of force. Ceasar Milian and those types are NOT science based and instead are based on OUTDATED incorrect information.

One of my favorites which breaks down the "types" of reinforcement/punishment into easy information. With pictures!

I will update as I pull my articles/ books Smile

Thanks for this thread, arooroomom! I have always admired your advice on positive reinforcement. I've even used it on Juneau and my fosters! I'm so glad you're going to compact that advice in one spot. It will be easier for me to find it.

Facebook Groups:
Very good resources are contained in a lot of their "files" sections. Most here (unless specified) are very trainer oriented and do not act as a "I'm having problem x with my dog- how do I cure it?"

"Force Free Trainers Group"
A group I love to lurk. GREAT resource of files.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/forcefree/

"Force Free Trainers- Aggression Puzzle"
Aggression discussion- force free. Another great file source.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/429559543775183/

"Observational Skills for training dogs"
Another good file resource. A lot on body language and stress.

Awesome thread. I will definitely have to check out the mouthing videos (I'm one of those new puppy owners you speak of Smile ).

The adoption center I volunteered at for the past year (and where Layla now goes for her puppy socialization classes) is a huge proponent of positive-reinforcement training. They are also big on pit-bull awareness and held classes every week for the volunteers to take the pit bulls into the education room for training under the guidance of their lead animal behaviorist. For the last year I was trained in positive reinforcement and clicker training and feel I've learned a TON just by being in those pit-bull classes and watching the behaviorist and interacting with the dogs myself. I've translated this knowledge to Layla's training and so far have been getting great results. Her socialization classes also reinforce this kind of training as well. I will use force if absolutely necessary, such as if she gets something in her mouth that could be potentially hazardous (as with most puppies, she tries to eat EVERYTHING when she's outside: leaves, sticks, pinecones, etc.).

Thanks for sharing all the great info and raising awareness on positive reinforcement!

I think the leash reactivity article will be especially helpful for us Sibe parents (when it comes to squirrels, cats, etc.)!

He is beautiful and it's a great picture! But I am sorry for your loss. Still 6 dogs is pretty impressive. Are they all inside dogs too?

And I am really enjoying it. My dog gets really excited on leash and is slightly reactive but just on leash so I am hoping to try and use the mat to my advantage. Also his point that when your making you do work and think it's more difficult for them to react is something I have found very true in our obedience classes.

Also the book is just a really fun and easy read.

what about food guarding against other dogs? i have taught Samoa not to food guard with people. she trusts people now. she came from a large litter so i'm guessing that is where her food and high value toy guarding came from but what do i do? when i taught her to not be that way with people. i would feed her by hand a couple meals a day and i would sometimes make her wait or make her work and she learned to trust people eventually but with other dogs she just full on attacks if another dog gets near her while she eats or when there is a treat near or even at the mention of food. ugh what should i do? any suggestions? thanks
