I use behavioral psychologies to train my own dog, by not punishing through negative enforcement but encouraging correct behaviors. These techniques keeps fear out of the picture, and establishes healthier relationships with pets. I can help train pets using these techniques but normally would not encourage unnecessary tricks. As of now, he knows Door (for breakfast and lunch), Sit, Lay, Up, Down, Stay, Crate, Water, and Get it as commands. He has self-trained himself to go to our back door and wait when he needs to be taken outside. Also, he likes to talk to us (not bark), when an urgent matter needs attention... Such as refill my water dummy. I have a full-time job during the week, but most weekends I'm usually free. Lately my girlfriend and I have been camping and hiking to get outside more. We of course bring Max and he couldn't be happier.
