Video Lessons

I am now offering virtual training lessons via Skype and similar programs.  Submit a request to politepawz@verizon.net for more information.  In the growing world of internet instruction I have had great success with the few virtual lessons I have done for some friends who have moved out of the area.  The cost is minimal and you'll still see great results!  I will also be putting up a YouTube channel that will host common problem solving tips =]  Just another way for me to be doing what I love!

I look forward to hearing from you guys!

I need your help!

Hey guys,
I need some in put from you, the readers on any areas you would like me to write on.  Tomorrow I will put up a piece on choosing the right puppy for your family.  Then I'll spin off in the afternoon with how to choose an agility puppy for those of you who compete. I'll cover basic manners and training too.  I would like to cover topics that my readers need help with.  You guys help me just by being here so I'd like to do anything I can to help you.   Please feel free to submit your training questions in the comments section or email me at politepawz@verizon.net

A neat twist on "Give Paw"

Most dog owners at one time or another have taught their dog to shake or give paw. A fun twist is to teach your dog to "high five". It is just what it sounds like and in some cases can be easier to teach!

I'll use "Fido" as our dog for these instructions.
Step 1: Have Fido sit in front of you
Step 2: Put your hand up in front of you about level with Fido's nose Step
3: In an excited voice say "Fido, high five!" while moving your hand in a forward petting motion. This motion will encourage your dog to paw at your hand.

When Fido paws at your hand reward and make a big deal. This is a fun and easy trick that most dogs will learn quickly. So go ahead and give it a try and send in your pictures or videos!
