Your Questions About Dog Training Colorado

admin answers:

The climate is totally fine for a Siberian, realize, though, that these dogs are working and racing dogs so just because they like the temperature doesn’t mean that they are happy.

Your dog will need to RUN several times a day and will never be trustworthy off a leash in an unfenced area. Siberians also have more primitive tendencies like a higher prey drive, pack-oriented nature but not easy obedience training, and more tendency to perceive and exploit weaknesses in other pack members and pack leaders.

Siberians are wonderful dogs, look up Skijoring and X-Joring as two possible ways to work off all of that energy or sign up for obedience, agility, or flyball classes in your area for help with training, socialization, and exercise needs.

Good luck!

First of all, think about which type of dogs you like and find attractive. Then you decide, which dog would serve your purposes and how much you are willing or able to spend. Dogs with papers can be very expensive. Sometimes you get good deals from ASPCA. The other thing that it’s very important to train the dog in all the areas you mention. You could do it yourself or better yet, if you can have a trainer do it. Also look at the dog’s physical and emotional condition,and if possible how was he treated by his/her previous owner.Also consider the dog’s age in order to determine his/her life expectancy The age would also determine what type of training would be most appropriate

In terms of dogs I especially like St Bernards, German Shepherd , Doberman, Great Dane, Alaskan Huskies. Good Luck and enjoy,

I’m a special education teacher. I started out taking care of a boy who had autism like you did, then while I was in college I started working for a company that aided people with cognitive disabilities in obtaining and training for jobs. I later worked for a company where I worked one on one with people with disabilities. I moved to another state and began my master’s degree in Special Education and worked in a public school system also with people with cognitive disabilities. When I graduated with my degree I got a job in Colorado in a room working with Behavior Disorder children. I currently still have that job.

So, here is my advice to you. If you don’t like paper work do not become a teacher, become an aide or para. Second, be understanding that the field of education encompasses many disabilities. Either you hold out for the job you really want or you’re flexible with what you want to do! My paras work with the kids more than I do. You will have long days, be abused by children, parents, and administration to varying degrees. Often times you do not do as much help as you’d like to do. It’s very overwhelming and often your aides are incompetent. I’m not trying to say don’t do it, but don’t romanticize the job or think it’s “sweet” to help the poor little disabled children. Don’t romanticize disabilities either.
