Tank is dog-reactive. He and I recently started going to classes at a local training club. Their methods focus on traditional training. I haven't found an instructor...yet...that is very knowledgeable of clicker training. Since I know Tank is reactive and huge, I use a Gentle Leader. This is against policy at this club. (A picture of a choke "show" collar is in the logo.) It has been my intention to go to classes to have somewhere to train and a plan to focus on. I didn't realize they would not let me use my own methods.

Echo
By Misty S Bone on 09/18/2008Hello. I have been a member of this site for a long time, and have read every article I can get my "paws" on.
I eventually want to be a professional dog trainer. I am only 26 at the moment, and I have been training as a hobby, (friends dogs, friend-of-a-friend's dog) now for several years. I do not charge as I do not feel I have enough experience.
I recently bought my first dog.
