I'm not posting these to promote anyone. I'm posting these because they work and are things every dog owner should be doing fundamentally. I see too many dog owners that need help living with their dogs. These vids will help if you follow them and work at them.

I suggest these be put up as stickies as well so they are a quick reference for those that need the help.

Great set of videos. I don't have a problem with the crate or walking for the most part, but am looking forward to watching the others. I'm going to add this thread to my favorites.

The above videos are great training tools if you dog is malleable like the dog I trained when I was twelve years old from a library book. If the dog/pup is not and wants to bite you as quick as anybody else the the books and videos are less than useless. When your training a dog with a hard temperament through books or videos you can't go back and ask questions when invariable something happens that they did't cover.

In short when dealing with a mild temperament dog/pup read all the books and watch all the videos you want. But if your dog/pup will bite you as quick as anyone else seek professional help in your area so that you can call or go to someone should some unexpected arises.

Not even close. But if that's your attitude then go ahead and have it. I've worked the same fundamentals with every dog i've owned (some not so "mild tempered" as you say) and also with helping other people with their out of control dog's. They work...simple as that. And if you are dealing with a dog that has a bite history then obviously you are going to be doing some other fundamental work as well. I've helped people that had dogs with a bite history and I used the same tools and fundamentals that Sean talks about in these vids. Maybe you can't or haven't and that's cool...hire a "professional"....I put these up for people to use if they want.

If you don't think working on these fundamental tools will help a dog that has "issues" then feel free to watch how they work with a Tibetan Mastiff that came with some "issues".....I use Sean's videos a lot because he puts many out there...he doesn't just talk a good game but he also puts his stuff out there for the world to see. This mastiff came with a bite history...a muzzle was used but he still used the place, crate, structured walk, thresholds, waiting for food. All those things should be taught to any dog....and especially to dogs that have never had anyone show and teach them those things.

But as I said originally....I posted those vids to help people out....not to get into a debate if they work/help or not...if you are one of those ppl that see me and automatically assume anything I have to say or share is worthless then feel free to skip over my thread.....but don't sit there and try to explain why these vids don't work or you don't like them etc etc...or you don't like the guy in the vids etc etc....makes you look silly.

I think it's a good set of videos. Basic things that all dogs should be taught from day one. I don't use a prong to teach them, but that's me. I *have*used a prong before, so that's neither here nor there. Just saying that if someone doesn't choose to use a prong, they shouldn't discount the videos as being not for them. There's good stuff there. The basic skills are incredibly important to teach every dog and people need to remember to keep working on them.

Agreed. And for a novice owner they are a great way to learn 'how' to train the behavior. Which for some is half the battle.

I only watched the 'threshold' video, and really like the trainers points that this is about "respect", "trust", "education" and "communication".

The same 'pops' would work fine for a sensitive dog on a flat collar, too. He even mentioned that this was a very respectful dog...not a a 'brat', and that a bratty dog would require harder 'pops' to communicate intent to the dog appropriately.

...not so sure on the Gus story, though. They used as e-collar and other control methods (i.e. no eating except from the hand of the "man"), not just leadership. I saw a resigned dog going through the motions, not one that was "reformed". He did not look the human trainers in the eye with respect - he avoided eye contact and just did as he was told... for now...

Even on the "easy walk" with mom at the end... the dog didn't pull ahead because the "man" was still there, and the e-collar was still on.

I'm glad the follow-up suggested that Gus was doing well, but I think there was a LOT that happened behind the scenes and in the mom's home that we did not see.

Of course there probably was. For an FYI, the owner and Gus are doing good. She continues to follow through with all of the things she learned from Sean. Just like anything in life...it only works if you do.

Hurry for season, thank you very much. I final got what I've been asking for for all these months someone a video of someone who knows how to handle Superior Guardians with an attitude. I knew if I poked and prodded you enough you would come through for me great job. Sean described my TM's temperament exactly. I would like to add it looks like a real TM to, not one that has been mixed in order to soften his demeanor.

Now let me see if I can help you with a little advise. You seem to have a serious problem with reading comprehension or is it dyslexia? No were in the above post or in previous post do I condemn or even use the word fundamentals. I agree with you since you brought it up. The fundamentals are the corner stone for learner anything. After they are mastered then a person can move on to more advanced skills. Do your self a favor and get your reading and comprehension FUNDAMENTALS mastered before you try to write complete thoughts.

Do you know how silly you sound commenting on something I don't even talk about?

I still stand on the main ideal of my above post which is.... are you still with me? I'll go slow so you can keep up.The main premises of the above post is a person can not train a dog like the TM in your latest video not fundamentals should not be practice. Will the lessons hold when he is six months or more and he or she decides he doesn't want to work none of your videos tell any one what to do when he is ready to rip your arm off. Not even Sean's video, he fails to show the meat and potatoes of his system only the results. A malleable dog could be trained from by using these videos but not a dog like the TM and have the training hold.

Listen season let me make this short and sweet You can't ask a book or a video questions if a dog like the TM gives someone a situation that it didn't cover and I am willing to bet the farm a dog like the TM will.

Ha. Before u go assuming someone is dyslexic or can't comprehend what they read perhaps you should check your grammar/spelling and sentence structure. And if you are going to keep it short and sweet then don't ramble on.

Since I also see you reference Jeff's videos a bit, is this the Sean to which he refers?? Just curious. Thanks for the vids, I've liked the other you've posted in other places as well. Thanks for sharing.
