What is real world dog training? It can be described as training in the world outside of the confines of your home. Many pet owners report that their dog is able to focus on tricks or obedience training within the walls of their home; but, take them over to a friends home or down the street that's another story. I love marker training (uses food/toys) and use it occasionally with other tools in my dog training toolbox. It is important for my customers to know that I'm a comprehensive dog trainer. This means I have an open mind and use whatever tool(s) are a training match for your pet. It's all about communications.
What about outdoor training and fun? There can be some training complications once outside a dog's familiar environment of his home. Once out in the backyard or down the neighborhood streets and over a long period of time with solely treats/toys; dogs are able to master tricks and simple obedience commands. Because of the number of repetitions, continually raising the value of treats administered, introducing various types of collars/harnesses (not e-collars), moving to environments with varying levels of distractions the dog is middle-aged or old aged before it can replicate the knowledge learned in a home out into the real world. Not to mention the "oh, yikes" factor when you attempt any of this training off a physical leash. I haven't met anyone in my travels around Greater Atlanta that would take the leash off of their dog in a busy retail parking lot during the holidays (naked training with no safety net) and work come, sit, and down. Frankly, I hope I never do because that would be frightening if something went wrong with parking lot traffic.
I'm an e-collar trainer also known as remote system training or technology guided training along with other semantics (my safety net as I work around town in high distraction environments). Regardless, of what you call this tool it has progressed very far in development from decades past. These training collars are actually computers you can program and customize for each dog. This training tool allows for a focused dog around very high distractions such as real world stuff, for example, working car manners in a busy retail shopping parking lot. Using remote systems also allows a dog to learn obedience commands very quickly and very accurately so you can control an exit or entrance to a car in a busy parking lot. This provides pet owners with a safety net of being very certain that their pet will not jump out of the car into harms way. Because training collars shorten the communication between you and your pet the learning curve is sped up and dogs can train young leaving years of enjoyment ahead. Dogs can learn at a very early age of 6 months with an e-collar and reach a very advanced level of training in a very high distracting environment. Again, this type of training gives near perfect recall (come command) to keep your pet out of harms way or to modify behaviors that are incompatible with human existence -- causing thousands of dollars of damage to one's home.
In this video, I'm out around town maintaining training on my four dogs. Carmel a Portuguese Water Dog, X-press a rescue that is a boxer/greyhound mix; Tony and Vinnie are Papillons. They all have on remote training systems and were having fun playing Frisbee, enjoying treats, and working commands. If you see us around town stop and say hello. We are always happy to meet new people and visit with old friends.
Please let me know how best I can help you enjoy your pet in your home or in the great outdoors -- real world!
