Dog Flea Control Management: How To Prevent, Treat, And Kill
Dog flea control and management requires an integrated approach. For effective treatment both the host animal and the environment must be .....

We started agility training at six months and thanks to the long line training, she no longer takes 1 or 2 obstacles and takes off running. We also are involved in training for show obedience.

Now here's my question that I need serious help with. I use the pinch collar during training as I should and she responds incredibly. The problem I have is when we are in the ring and she's wearing AKC standard collar, it's a whole different story, like we've never trained. She won't heel the way she does on collar (she lags behind) and on the handler recall she will usually blow past me. And obviously there are no corrections allowed at any AKC event. She's obviously collar smart, so please Adam, I need your wisdom.

The information on as well as alternatives to dog searches in high school is constantly changing and we will do our best to bring the latest to you.

Thank you in advance.

So are you ready for a Boxer Dog'...

Dear Will,

You say you that you are using the pinch collar during training' Are you training only during specific times of the day or is the collar on her all the time' Keeping the collar on all day (when you can supervise her) will allow you to correct her whenever she does anything wrong, not just when she's in "training" mode.

Do exercises during the day that aren't formal show obedience, but that make her obey, anyway. Work her in different environments; the driveway, the park, kitchen, neighbor's yard, etc.... So that she learns how to listen to you in any situation with multiple distractions.

Choosing The Right Dog Breeder
When looking to purchase a purebred dog, you need to search for a breeder from which to purchase the animal. This can typically be as simple as .....

Stage an event so it has the feel of an AKC show. Have friends and family come and even "judge" the show. Perhaps have a few other well-behaved dogs around doing their exercises. Put her show collar on as well as the pinch collar. Put her through her paces and the moment she messes up, give her a correction: this isn't an AKC event, this is your event and you say what is and isn't allowed.
