Zap…Ouch!

Shock collars are a type of training initially used in the 1960s to train hunting dogs.  In the 21st  Century, shock collars are used to curb a variety of stubborn and unwanted behaviors in family dogs, for a variety of reasons, as well as to train puppies to stay safely within a property line or to stick close by while off leash.  You wouldn’t do that to your child, would you?

Things you should know about shock collars –

1.  Their intensity can be adjusted to a very high level.

2.  Do you want to train your dog through fear?

3.  They may deliver a shock when not needed.

4.  There is NO positive reward.

When you were a kid did your mom or dad ever tell you “well, you’ll just have to learn the hard way”.  A shock collar IS “the hard way”!  Dennis Danskin a renowned Las Vegas area dog trainer does not believe in shock collars, choke collars, etc.  Please give him a call for a free, no obligation in-home visit and learn how he “trains humane”.  That number is (702) 327-4744.

Bad Behavior Starts at Home.

A New Year’s puppy has so many ways to get into trouble in his or her home.  Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!  There are things to chew, places to relieve one’s self, and all sorts of other mischief to get into.  If you have ever had little kids you made your home child proof, didn’t you?  Now it may be time to make sure that your four-legged child is properly trained.

It all begins at home.  There are less distractions than some “training facilities” that may have other canines.  Your home is the most comfortable environment for your canine to learn, and easiest for you and your future peace of mind.  I am convinced that humane dog training in one’s home is THE best way to train.

Let’s meet for free with no obligation.  No, really, if this is not the right fit for you or me or your pooch let’s find out before any commitments are made.  Call me, Dennis Danskin, anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley at (702) 327-4744 and I will meet your new best friend.  I am genuinely looking forward to it!

If You Hurt Me, You Will Get My Attention.

That should make you do a double-take.  Folks, this is NOT Guantanamo, it’s dog training!  Punishment as an adversarial method which includes discipline that causes pain to your dog.  Not only are these practices cruel and harsh, they are also completely ineffective.  When your dog is trained in a humane way, it is much more productive.

Using hitting or spanking as a method of punishment can severely damage the relationship you have with your dog.  If you start using force to discipline them, your dog can develop various bad behavioral issues.  Insecurity and fear will soon become evident in your best friend.  The natural response from them is aggression.

Now, you have a real nightmare on your hands!  Start your lives together with your new arrival by insisting on and practicing humane training.  The best way to do that in the Las Vegas area is visit www.trainhumane.net.  You will meet Dennis Danskin.  Then you may call him for a no-obligation free in-home visit.  His phone number is (702) 327-4744.

Las Vegas always has lots to do and enjoy.  Find your sweet spot for January 2019 and enjoy all the city has to offer! 

So, You Got a New Best Friend for Christmas.

I see it every January.  A family adopts a dog during the holiday season and is overwhelmed by the prospect of integrating it into their household.  Why do so many people try to train their own dogs?  It is very easy to watch a few episodes of a dog training show or read a few chapters of a book and think you can handle the job.

Perhaps the biggest drawback of do-it-yourself dog training is the potential lost time.  Maybe a small percentage of people can successfully train their dog without help.  If you are fumbling through the process, you stand to lose valuable moments in your dog's life that could be spent reinforcing good behaviors instead of sending mixed and inconsistent messages.

How does half a century sound?  That’s right, over the last 50+ years I have trained puppies and dogs of every breed and size.  I staunchly believe in humane dog training.  That is why my website is www.trainhumane.net.  Why not let me come to your home for a free evaluation?  I’d like to meet your new arrival.  Just call me, Dennis Danskin at (702) 327-4744.
