Ken asks…
Can I trust this site called etronixmart.com to buy dog training collars?
I love my dog, so I decide to select a good dog training collars for it. Then I came across this site: http://www.etronixmart.com/ that offer dog training collars. They are in low price but with amazing function. Anyone who buy from this site can share your suggestion?

Better question – why do you feel the need to electrocute your dog to make him obey you, rather than humanely training him?
Daniel asks…
Does anyone know where I can get a leather/chain combination training collar for my puppy?
I just got a new puppy and am looking for a training collar like the ones I used years ago. It is choker style but buckles on like a regular collar. If anyone knows where I can get one I would appreciate the information.
admin answers:
Here is one http://www.ldsleather.com/collars.html
scroll half way down the page, there is 2 listed one with a slide and the second with a buckle
To search for others, do an internet search for leather martingale, you may be able to turn up some more
These type of collars are referred to as humane choke or limited choke , far nicer and safer than regular choke collars
and very good for dogs that can back out of a regular style collar and helps to keep them safe
I have more links listed here

Paul asks…
Why do you treat your dog like a person?
I’ve asked a few questions about dogs over the last couple of days from kennels outside to choke training collars and it seems like people think I’m being cruel. I want to train my dog properly and have been doing that since I have the luxury of being home during the day. But, I treat the dog like a dog. When he is good, he gets treats and when he is bad, he gets punished. I don’t baby talk to the dog. I don’t put him in sweaters. I don’t like him on the furniture and he doesn’t go on our bed. My husband wanted the dog and I’m trying to make the best of it. Our dog does have a good home, but I treat him like a dog. Why do you treat your dog like a little person? I just don’t understand that. I have a cat and would say I am more a cat person, but then I treat my cat like a cat. Help me understand your logic.
I do treat my animals with love, but love doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want. There are still rules that must be obeyed.
freckles – that’s what I was getting at. That’s the answer I was looking for. Thanks.
I meant no offense by the word, “you”. It’s just that I’ve noticed some people that have dogs, have a different type of behavior with them, as if they can do no wrong. I’m not trying to insult anyone, if that’s how I come across, I seriously would like to know why some people behave this way and others don’t. Honestly.

I love reading the answers to a question like this!
The answer is: because they dont know any better.
Thier dog would actually be happier being treated like a dog!
Recently you see alot of schools teaching positive reinforcement only training.I like to call it “trend training”, it doesnt actually work, but it is what people want to hear and it is what sells. That is why I love Cesar Milan, he still works with correction and everyone says WOW look at his results!..LOL
Dont get me wrong, positive reinforcement is valuable, but only balanced with correction.
What happens when the reward is not as sweet as the distraction?
People should be angry at this trendy training taking over because it means that there are some animals being surrendered to shelters becasue thier owners werent given the right guidance and they couldnt train thier dogs.
Now people go to Petsmart for thier training, guess what, they have to market positive reinforcement only because if someone took correction out of context and abused thier dog, petsmart could get sued!
If you love your dog, treat him like a dog!
