On the right is me (James Colquhoun), who spoke on How to Train a Dog when I was in grade 3

 

 

It is now nearly 25 years later and ironically I turned out to have a fear of public speaking and presentations in my secondary and post secondary schools. But, what hasn’t changed is my fascination and ability to interact with dogs so well. I have always been an excellent canine handler however I admit I have much to learn still.  I am considering becoming a professional Canine Behaviorist/Trainer one day soon. 

 

I have a beautiful male Rottweiler and he is very calm & loving, gentle & loyal, social  and still protective.  When my dog was nine months old a two year old boy was able to walk him for about 10 minutes and my dog Embro never pulled once on the leash. For a 9 month old energetic male rotty pup weighing approximately 85 lbs that’s very impressive.  Especially considering it was his first walk of the day and he was very excited but he still kept slack on the leash at all times and stayed close to the young boy.

Many people think if they give their dog lots of love and exercise they will have a well behaved pet. This is not always the case. We must learn that dogs require rules, boundaries, and limitations BEFORE affection. In a dogs habitat they don’t follow lovable leaders, and they don't follow aggressive or spiritual leaders. Their leader is dominate! We must be proud, calm assertive pack leaders to our canine companions.

I have been instructing my dog Embro using simple methods I learned from a T.V. show called --> “The Dog Whisperer” with dog behavior specialist Cesar’s Millan and his methods has proven to be very effective!  The show is very educational and entertaining at the same time while Cesar usually proves it is mostly humans that require the training and not the dogs.  If you have a Facebook account check out the group link below if you’re interested.  If you join you can watch any episodes from Season 1 to 3 and learn how to maintain a well balanced and obedient dog right now.

The Teachings of Cesar Millan

 

 

Cesar Millan is a world-renowned dog behavior specialist and is known for his uncanny ability to walk large packs of dogs at a time. The guy is amazing with dogs and if you apply some of the simple techniques he teaches you will become a great pack leader and have a well behaved dog.

Cesar teaches us that in a dogs habitat they don’t follow lovable leaders, and they don't follow aggressive or spiritual leaders, their leader is dominate. Cesar also teaches us that dogs require rules, boundaries, and limitations before affection; and that we as pack leaders must always remain calm and assertive

 

The very first episode that started it all! A MUST SEE!!!
