house and dogs          Information about this free dog advice website.

My name is Dennis Fisher and the information and advice provided on this website is offered as a FREE SERVICE to owners of all breeds of dog.

It comes from a lifelong involvement with dogs at all levels - as a judge, obedience training director, show dog exhibitor, competitor in obedience competitions and breeder of show dogs, with more than 50  years experience.

Although my involvement as a breeder and judge has been with German Shepherds, my interest in dogs has not been confined to this breed. In addition to a great number of German Shepherds, I  have also owned and trained many other breeds such Border Collies, Great Danes, French Poodles, Cairn Terriers, Schipperkes and others.

Because I have had so much pleasure and satisfaction from my long association with dogs, I am happy to share with others the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years.  I hope that you'll  find the extensive information I have compiled and set out on these page useful.

My dogs are all house-dogs - not kennel dogs - so together with my wife, who shares my passion for dogs, we are able to enjoy the companionship they offer.  Pictured above, playing happily in our garden, are three of our Shepherds together with our harlequin Great Dane.  

All our dogs are trained and  get on well together. There is no fighting.

OBEDIENCE TRAINING METHODS USED BY OTHER  EXPERIENCED TRAINERS.

The methods that I have described on this site are training techniques I've used for years  myself and found very successful. There are however, many different ways to train a dog.

You'll find details below of some extremely popular dog training courses about which there have been very favorable reports.

You may find the particular methods described in these training  courses very suitable for your own dog and your own special training needs.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dog Training Course - Number One.

This  dog training course, entitled Secrets to Dog Training has been a tremendously popular dog training course for some time - in fact it is  probably the most most popular dog training course on the internet.   There must obviously be a reason for this

When you visit the site, you will see that the course covers problems areas of dog disobedience such as:

 Aggression, biting, digging, barking, chewing, humping, house training, whining, bolting out of the front doors, separation anxiety, pulling on the leash and a number of other problems that many people have with their dogs. 

To find our more about this highly successful dog training course and how to access it, click Secrets of Dog Training

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dog Training Course - Number 2.

Clicker got training:

Clicker training is a completely different form of training. It involves a method known as "positive reinforcement training".  The  dog is rewarded for doing what the trainer requires, instead of punishing or reprimanding it for not doing what the trainer wants.  The food reward is accompanied by a click - a sound made by a small clicker held in one's hand.

Although I have never personally made use of the clicker in my training because I have always had satisfactory results with traditional training methods, many friends who use clicker training methods speak very highly about this unorthodox  training technique.

From many reports I have received it appears that the following training course - "The 4 secrets of becoming a super trainer" is the best clicker training course available on the internet.

To get full details about this clicker dog training Course go to the following site:
