Dog Trainer

[BACK2BIGRIVER]

Anyone know of a good dog trainer in Murrieta area i have a new Queensland puppy i may need a little help with?

I know a great one but he's in Simi Valley. He will come and pick your dog up if you need him to though. His name is Nick Koep and his company is All Purpose Dog Training. I grew up with Nick and was even Best Man at his wedding. He gained all of his experience as a K9-MP in the Air Force. He treats your dog like his own. They stay in his house while in training (not in a kennel in the backyard) and exposes' them to his family. He trains real family dogs. He trained my dog and can personally say I'm very happy with the results.

Check out his website.

we just finished the puppy class at Pet Smart.

She was not happy to wear the hat, can you tell??!!

We liked it alot. Lots of one on one. She's going to take the intermediate class in March.

It's been a few years, but I had a lady from Homeland come out that I found in the yellow pages. I don't remember the name of the company (something cute and catchy), but her name was Kitty. She came to the house 4-5 times. I thought it worked out real well, because she can watch the animal interact with all members of the household. Our problem was the dog would knock down the kids to get to Jeff or I (didn't understand the pack heirarchy in our home) and he liked to play the game where he steals something you want and you chase him. At the time, it was right around $200. I want to say $150-$175 total.

If you are having aggression problems with a queensland puppy, it is pretty normal. They are of the devil and a little wild. Ours tried to kill us every time we interrupted her or tried to discipline her. For the most part it passes after about 4-6 months. Just keep trying to be the boss without the fights getting too out of hand. We found the trick was not to let them get too tired or they get cranky. Crate training helps alot. Read up on how that is done on internet. Limit play time, lots of naps and no power games(tug of war and wrestling) They eventually become really cool dogs after some careful training. They need something to do as they get older. Agility, herding or long runs. Not a good dog to leave alone in the back yard.

One thing I don't want is a trainer that user chock collars or other negative reinforcement techniques. Looking for only positive reinforcement techniques.

Josh don't use a shock collar, our dog was trained on snap of collar as a puppy 4 years ago and within 5 minutes of trainer walking him few weeks ago he said your dog is trained already, that when we said well let us put him in the house and you go in lol.

We got a boxer pup last year. They are very smart and very sensitive. Ours responds very well to training, just stay positive with them. Even talking too harshly to ours will make him cower.
Keep him active and keep him part of the family or he'll become destructive.
We've always had labs but decided to try a boxer and happy so far. He's constantly following our kids around and making sure they are all safe, he's very attached to the kids. We've even got him swimming with the kids.

Boxers are amazing dogs, it's crazy how great they are with kids

Boxers are great. Their biggest pro is they never outgrow the puppy stage. Their biggest con is they never outgrow the puppy stage.

But love them and all the slobber

Picked him up from my sisters litter in Utah, I've always had labs too, but wanted to try something different. He's already a lot smarter than I thought.
Really wanna teach mine how to swim. Everyone says they are not water dogs at all. Any advice on how to get him comfortable in the water?

 

[yz450mm]

Mine wouldn't come near me at first when I was in the pool, but after dunking her in a few times she will now come up to me at the edge. I imagine after a few more times she will jump in on her own.

We have a Baja shelf in our pool, once we put him on that with the kids he was hooked. His desire to be with them outweighed his fear of the water, and now he loves it. He pushes the pool cover out of the way to get in and cool off.

He's about 6 months old here, and a good swimmer. We were worried at first because everyone told us boxers don't swim, but he does fine. Not as smooth as our lab, but fine nonetheless

My pup is currently in basic gun dog training at Raney Ranch in San Diego. She's been there for almost two months now and we go to visit in 2 weeks. Hope it pays off!

My male started swimming at 10 weeks and I couldn't keep him out of the water...my female will go up to her chest and that's it.

There's a pretty cool YouTube video of a boxer that dives to the bottom of pools to chase his toy, I'll try and post a link
