Dog training advice

The trick with dog training advice, as with any advice for that matter, is to determine which advice is valid and applicable to your situation and which is not. As with most things in life, dog training is not an exact science and dog training techniques used by one trainer may be totally unacceptable to another. If you ask for dog training advice from a friend who has a well trained dog, that advice might very well not be applicable to you due to different circumstances, expectations and even the breed of dog. Similarly, if you ask your, dentist, doctor or lawyer for dog obedience training tips, would you trust the advice given and blindly apply it, or would you evaluate it first and maybe get a second opinion?
The first step to getting dog training advice, tips or tricks is to evaluate the source. It stands to reason that a person with a lot of experience in a specific field would give the best advice. As such, my first source for dog training tips is always dog training schools. Even then, I evaluate the information given to me and ultimate decide whether or no to apply this. As one gains experience in any given field, including dog training, the need for asking advice decreases until one reaches the stage that you have all the information required and applies it successfully. At that stage, most of us would feel that we are somewhat of an expert on the subject and would be quite willing to dispense advice, with or without being asked.

Notwithstanding the above, the highest quality and most applicable dog training advice comes from professionals that do dog training for a daily living. This could be dog training schools as mentioned before, but other sources such as dog training books and dog training videos should also be considered. The key is to familiarize yourself with the credentials of the person dispensing the advice (especially free advice) and ultimately to make the decision regarding the validity of the information yourself.
