I am interested too. Can you PM me also? I won't take offense, I'm just curious since I haven't really heard anything negative about the program so far.

I thought the program was decent but basic...good for those just starting out but probably not very challanging for anyone already involved in training. The hands-on portion is minimal but can help you get your foot in the door for additional opportunites. ABC was one of the more convenient and...

I am a member of our local club but not very active in it anymore since I've moved on to training classes elsewhere. I will try to answer your questions though.

I'm an ABC trainer, I'd like to think I'm a good choice. There is another ABC trainer in my area that I think is good. I'm sure it depends on the individual. Here is my website if you want to check it out: Home

I mostly use treats, life rewards, praise & affection but I also use play/toys sometimes.

Yes, if your dad doesn't have time to work on the training and must walk her I would consider a Gentle Leader head collar or an Easy Walk harness. I've seen both used successfully on a variety of dogs. Dogs don't generalize well so its important to train in a variety of locations. Keep up the...

Nice job Cheetah! :)

Take a look at Jean Donaldson's video at the link below: http://dufferschultz.com/

I've read all of the above and they are all good books. I'm anxious to get my hands on a copy of Susan Garrett's "Shaping Success".

Thank you both very much! :)

You can also use the clicker to refine known behaviors. For example: If your dogs sits when you give her the cue but takes her time doing so, you can use the clicker to shape a faster response. You might start out only clicking if she responds within 3 secs, then when you have her responding...

Thanks. I will definately look into it. :)

Thanks again everyone! I sure do appreciate it. Tosca's Mom - Thanks, I completely forgot about licenses. There is a nearby college that offers assistance and seminars for small business start up. I think I'm going to contact them for additional help...I still feel clueless about so many...

Thanks so much for all your help! :D

A few quick questions... So I don't really need to search online, I just need to seach the registry? If I come up with a name that I like and it's available, can I register it right away or do I have to be in business first? :confused:

Thanks for everyone's comments. :) That's a great name that you picked dr2little!

Thanks for your feedback! Actually, I'm still in the process....I'm an Animal Behavior College student(should be finished at the end of June) and I've been assisting group classes with a local trainer since last summer. It will be a little while before I start my own business....I'm just...

I have been jotting down possible business names as I think of them for sometime now but almost everything I've come up with is already taken. I'm getting very frustrated. Some of the unavailable names that I've come up with, and thought I was so clever in thinking of, include: Endless...

Thanks again Doberluv! :D
