Can a professional dog trainer train your dog for CGC?

professional dog training
schnauzer mom asked:

Does the dog trainer have to have certain credentials in order to be a trainer for CGC? I was researching into that for my dog, but the closest CGC trainer is 5 hours away. Can a trainer help with this even though their not “certified” as a CGC trainer? I am very interested in doing this for my dog and i will admit i don’t know much about dog trainers in particular. thanks in advance.

Dog Training – Dog Punishments

professional dog training
There are many different punishments for getting your dog to learn the difference between right and wrong, and there are many dog trainers that will tell you that their method is the best way or that a different type of punishment, whether it be positive or negative punishment, is better than the method you’re using now.

Dogs need punishment to keep them in order and to teach them what is acceptable and what is not, without some form of punishment there would be no way of showing your dog these things, and no way of training them.

There are two types of punishment for your dogs; there are positive punishments and negative punishments. Positive punishments are punishments when you give you dog something, for example giving a tug on the leash or verbal correction. Negative punishments are when you take away something your dog needs or expects such as treats or toys or having the dog be taken away from you.

I am a strong believer that positive punishments should only be used in moderation or not at all, serious injuries to your dog’s safety and health may occur by over using or incorrectly using positive punishment. There is no dog training exercise that cannot be accomplished by using the negative punishment.

For dog safety reasons I will only talk about negative punishments and dog punishments that I would use and are fully safe for your dogs. 9 times out of 10 positive punishments cause your dog to react in a similar way towards other people or the owner. If you are going to use positive punishment it is highly recommended that you consult a professional dog trainer before doing so.

The most popular and some of the best negative punishment are listed below and should be enforced within 10 seconds of the crime being committed to have any affect and avoid confusion

Time out:

Take your dog to a room cut off from other family members and any attention for a short period of time.

Take away toys:

Stop your dog from having any toys for a short period of time.

Ignore your dog:

Totally ignore your dog for a period of time so they get no attention, fuss, or eye contact.

No treats:

Don’t give your dog the treat he would have normally had for good behavior

Information On Electronic Dog Training Collar

Electronic dog training collar is designed to assist dog owners and dog trainers to train their dogs to distinguish and figure out between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour. It helps to reduce the frustration and tension dog owners and trainers have to go through to train their dogs with behavioural problems. Electronic dog training collars are commonly used to teach dogs all the basic but essential commands like ”sit”, “stay”, “lie”, “come” and others. However, dogs that have been problematic and hard to train using other methods is most suitable to utilize it.

Today, dog training collars are so widely utilized and have become a superior training tool especially for women and elderly people, who are physically weaker to instruct their dogs effectively. Instead of having to run after them everywhere or pulling your dog not to run across the street or yelling at them to stop barking continuously, the remote electronic dog training collar allows you to correct their behaviour with ease and effectively. It helps your dog to become an exemplar of dog obedience. You can immediately correct your dog’s mistakes at a distance utilizing the remote control of the electronic dog training collar making it an effective tool compared with normal restraint leash training. Your dog will be unaware that you are penalizing him for inappropriate behaviour as he will not recognize you are issuing the correction. This will not jeopardize your existing close and good relationship with your dog.

The types of stimulation, whether continuous and momentary, distinguish between the various types of electronic dog training collars available in the market. You are able to regulate the strength of the continuous stimulation type of electronic dog training collar easily by regulating it anywhere between 5 to 15 seconds. The momentary stimulation type of electronic dog training collar can transmit only one instant shock by pushing the remote button. Appropriate and proper stimulation levels will provide an effective training signal that will benefit your dog. Look out for an “all-purpose” electronic dog training collar so that it is unncessary to replace or upgrade the collars later on.

When choosing which electronic dog training collar to purchase, do pay close attention to the following factors below;

- One’s budget.

- Waterproof or non-waterproof receiving and transmitting gadget.

- The stimulation degrees required to train effectively.

- Training hours affect the life span of your rechargeable batteries.

Most professional dog trainers employ electronic dog training collars to assist them in training and instructing dogs under their enrolment. The main intention of using dog training collar is to assist the teaching and training of your dog in basic obedience and not to injure them. In actual fact, it helps you keep the training free from danger or the risk of harm to yourself, and also accelerate the process of dog training. However, it is better that dog owners who are keen in using electronic dog training collar to instruct their dogs, have some basic knowledge and proper understanding of the collar’s functions, abilities and limitations before using it so as to avoid any wrong or unfitting usage.

Ultimately, you need to realize the fact that you are the trainer and not the training collar itself. It is only a piece of equipment that help you to teach your dog more effectively. Just like any other gadgets, the electronic dog training collar, if employed correctly and used with the correct techniques, can work wonders in your dog training program. So it is your obligation to teach your dog and use the training collar in the best possible and most appropriate manner.
