Using A Clicker Vs Traditional Approach... The Flawed "Clicker Training Methodology!
There are two points you must recognize:1.) You CAN train a dog using a traditional approach AND use the clicker. It depends on your style, but yes... I've had very good results using the clicker as an event marker, and for getting the dog to understand a new behavior... especially a more complex behavior. However, THIS IS ONLY USED DURING THE FIRST PHASE OF TRAINING ...
the "learning phase." Once you move into the reinforcement and proofing phase, the clicker loses it's benefits.2.) The idea that "some methods work better for some dogs," is a falsehood. It stems from people who are not completely competent in working with dogs.Here's where the misperception comes in:TRUTH: Some dogs are very soft. These dogs you will emphasize more praise and build them up. Use of corrections are minimal, and depending upon the dog's temperament, may just be just a verbal correction to be motivational.MYTH: These dogs never need to be told when they do something wrong, therefore a "different method" (i.e. clicker training) should be used.
This is complete bunk.Recognize that using a clicker as an event marker is not the "clicker training approach."The clicker training approach requires that you keep your dog confined at all times that you are not following him around this house with a clicker to reward the right behavior. This is why it works so well with dolphins: Because they're confined in a small pool when they're not being trained.In any event... I'm off on a tangent.Using the clicker as ONE tool in your arsenal is fine. But using it to the exclusion of all the other tools at your disposal and you're being blind.To read more of my dog training ramblings, read about my book (click below): http://tinyurl.com/4efaqSecrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!.

How Long Should You Run Your Dog For?
Dear Adam:I have a Shepherd/Malamute "Newt." She's great. I have a couple of problems with her but I won't waste your time with them as I have found them addressed at your site and in your book.I "run" Newt in the bush, she is either in front of the truck or behind it, running as fast as she can. I stop when she slows down and we take a 5-10 minute break. Each time we stop, I open the door to the truck and let her decide if she's had enough. Lately it's been me who has had enough (she wants to run for longer and longer periods of time) and I tell her to get into the truck.
My question: Should I limit how far she runs (for her own good) and can it be too cold for a long run?Regards,Sally.Dear Sally:Thanks for the question.To be honest... I don't know.Usually my advice is to let common sense rule. But to be specific, it's really a health question that you should consult with your veterinarian before beginning any extensive exercise program with your dog.As a general rule, you need...

Do it NOW!
There is nothing more precious than time. Not money, nor
love. Without time, the others don't exist.
Knowing that, how do we spend our time? Do we recognize its
unstoppable passage and make the most of each valuable
moment?
Some do. Most of us, however, do not.
If we were to equate time spent frivolously with money lost,
would we spend it more wisely?
Maybe - maybe not.
