Don Sullivan's Training Program

Basenji Training
  • Is anyone familiar with Don Sullivan's Training System? What are your thoughts about it?

  • never heard of it and i'm leery of anyone in any field that makes it sound like they invented the wheel. in reading through his website, i'm guessing that this is a correction based training method.

  • Wouldn't go near it! Particularly as he advocates and sells his version of a prong collar - an adversive way to prevent a dog from pulling - and not very successful at that.

    Try using methods that have actually been proven - scientifically and not by marketing spiel!

    Great website for finding info is www.dogstardaily.com loads of free stuff to read and watch too.

    Basically there are no short cuts, good training and manners take time, but if you learn to enjoy the process rather than focus on the results you enjoy and treasure you spend with your B learning together and then the finished behaviour/trick/exercise is just the icing on the cake.

    My Basenjis have always loved radishes… I would start them young with them... just tossing them on the floor whole... they would roll and toss them around the floor and then finally biting into them... a couple of days of that, they were hooked... makes a great treat... but I did make sure they were a bit on the sweet side then the "hot" side

    That was very nice for a first try. She will improve greatly as she becomes more seasoned. Beautiful little gal. You're doing well with her. Heck, just getting a Basenji to do all that is a triumph. I thought it was cute how she went around to greet the judges. Such a little ambassador.:D

    I made a Photobucket album of this weekend. There are pictures of Beck & Lola & one picture of Beck's new puppy sister, Bon-Bon (her real name is pronounced Bonmee, but I don't know how to spell it) http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee290/carriesquires/ASFA%20Trial%20Winter%20Challenge/

    Glad to hear she did well. She must have heard what you said and wanted to prove you wrong. They are such stinkers!
