Gary Wilkes There was a time when the only way to get a dog to go from Point A to Point B was to slime Point B with liverwurst, or put a rope on the dog and haul. Once your dog learns to interact with inedible targets, you may have to use the rope to hold him back, but you'll never use it to teach a go-out again. The same goes for teaching agility, obedience, herding or search and rescue. Whether it's a perfect go-out or heeling off leash, this is the tool that will give you remote control of your dog. Did I mention that it's the fastest way to teach a dog to eliminate in a particular area of the yard everytime? Gary WilkesGary Wilkes worked for eight years in animal shelters in every capacity: poop scooper, shelter manager, euthanasia tech, dog catcher, humane investigator, educator and board member of one of the largest shelters in the country. He has worked for the last seventeen years offering behavior services by veterinary referral including the position of staff behaviorist for a veterinary neurological clinic. He has physically handled tens of thousands of animals over more than 25 years and a goodly number of those animals were certified whackos.
Gary is most known for developing the practical side of clicker training. Wilkes' methods and techniques are, above all, effective. This isn't the "bribe the doggie with a biscuit" or a "swing them around by the neck" sort of thing. Contrary to the whimsical rules of modern dog training, you don't need to be abusive or permissive to teach an animal that there are rules that need to be obeyed. This is a simple, effective way to predict and control behavior and any professional will benefit from learning these methods. |
