General History Of Dogs

Here is an article that I found on the history of dogs. I didn’t write it and don’t know who did. However, it is interesting.

What To Do If Your K9 Gets Cut

When your dog sustains a cut to its skin, it can bleed profusely, and give you the impression that the injury is more serious than it actually is. Fortunately, most skin lacerations aren’t life threatening and you can easily learn how to manage them.

How To Correct Your Dog

It seems that these days the measure of your skill as a handler is dependent on the way you deliver a correction. So how do I deliver a correction?

The Best Time For Corrections

Corrections are a vital part of your dogs learning and conditioning process. Your dog will never completely ‘get it’ to the point that you never again have to correct unwanted behavior.

The Truth About Drive

You will hear the word ‘drive’ spoken no doubt, when in the company of serious K9 enthusiasts. But what does it really mean in a practical application. I mean, what good is having drive?

I Want A Dog With Huge Drive

That’s what I hear from people who have familiarized themselves with the security dog world and have learned the language or the K9 handler.

The Best Breed For A K9

I’ll tell you straight off the bat. There isn’t one. There are a few.

Getting Your K9 To Listen

There is an old saying. “If you want to he heard then say little”.

The Best Training Tool For Your K9

There is so much hype out there as to which training tool is the best. The simple answer is, they are all good. And, I mean all when used humanely. Train with your heart.

Creating A Super Focused K9

Understanding what the competing forces in the immediate natural environment are extremely important. If you were just about to wash your car and a UFO landed in front of you it would be fair to say that you would probably stop what you were doing and focus on the UFO.

How To Correct Disobedience Without Diminishing Drive

Everyone knows that timing is crucial when correcting your K9 but few people realize they are also correcting wanted behavior as well as unwanted behavior at the same time. So how can you single out the reason for the correction and make it clear to your dog why the correction was delivered?

The Biggest Mistake You Will Ever Make With Your Puppy

When you bring your puppy home for the first time your puppy will be extremely overwhelmed. The new smells and sights and the separation from mother and litter will be traumatic for your little friend.

The Best Attack Dog Command

The best Attack dog command a dog can learn is the ‘OUT’ command. This is a command to release the bite. Why is this so important?

How To Apprehend An Offender With Your K9

You’ve set your dog onto an offender. The offender has buckled under the strain of the bite and the weight of the dog. What are you going to do now?

Two Kinds Of Attack Dogs

There are essentially two kinds of attack dogs. One will attack when you decide and the other will attack when it decides to attack.

The Best ‘Attack’ Command

The best command is one your dog understands. This may sound obvious but you will be surprised how many times I’ve seen handlers suddenly yell the ‘Attack’ command and the dog just reacts to the tone of the handlers voice, gives a few excited steps forward and then doubles back looking at the owner as if to say, “That sounded serious, what’s going on”?

The ‘OUT’ Command

When the dog is sent on a bite then latches on the offender with tight jaws sometimes the dog doesn’t get a very effective bite.

Strange Types of Detection Dogs

The canine sense of smell is notoriously powerful, and humans have capitalized on this by training scent dogs for a wide variety of purposes: as trackers, drug dogs, explosives ordinance K9s and dogs that can detect human smuggling.

Accidentally Mating Your K9

If your female dog is not spayed, then an accidental mating (or misalliance) is always a possibility. A non-neutered male will do almost anything to get to a female dog in heat, and their determination may well lead to success. This often results in a pregnant bitch and a litter of unwanted puppies. What do you do when this happens?
