dog training activities

Responsible dog breeders how much time do you spend each day taking part in dog related activities?

Please include things like personal research, other education involving dogs, discussions with other breeders, dog walking, training, socialisation of your adults/pups, agility, fly ball, obedience, ring craft, showing, field trials, working trials, feeding, general dog care and management and anything else I have forgotten

It never ends

I spend 7-8 hours a day with my breeding mentors (who happens to be my bosses) and we are generally talking about dogs, dog breeding, or they are telling me what to do with my puppies next
I spend most of my time at home around my puppies. If Im not in their room, they are in the living room with me or someone else is- Handling them and talking to them.
I spend 1-2 hours every Friday night at a Conformation Class/Mock AKC Show.
I devote Sunday and Mnday evenings to puppy buying prospects- THey come to visit the puppies and I get to know them better.
I spend 4-5 hours a night on Yahoo Answers reading, answering, and asking.
I spend 5 minutes a day brushing my Australian Shepherd.
I spend 2 hours a month bathing and trimming my Aussie.

Everything else (such as feeding) is so insignificant it doesnt deserve a time slot. hehe.

Career In Dog Training

career in dog training

I am looking for information on careers with wild animals. Can you help me?

I love animals and I've always wanted to work with them. But I don't know what sort of careers are out there. I would like more information about this, if you can help me. I am not, however, looking for a career in dog training. I thought about wildlife management but am not sure what to think about it. The little I have read of it I think it is like a career in the police force. Am I wrong? Don't know if you can help me. But I appreciate all the advice I can get. Thanks!

There are many careers available working with wildlife. The options are almost endless. The AnimalHelp Career Center will regularly feature information pertaining to different careers, from zookeeping to wildlife biology. Information such as A Day In The Life.., college courses, degrees, experience and recommended reading will help to get you on your way to a fullfilling career helping wildlife.

I have place a link to this post that would CERTAINLY provide the information you need regarding careers with Wild Animals.

Is your dog out of control? Are you finding it difficult to train him/her using orthodox methods? You are not alone. Many dogs simply do not respond to traditional training methods which is why thousands of owners and professional trainers have used training collars to assist them in their training programs.

Gentle Spray Bark Collar $58.95 From the makers of the Gentle Leader Headcollar comes another gentle training tool. Designed to control nuisance barking, the Gentle Spray Citronella Anti-Bark Collar uses patented technology to deliver a harmless burst of citronella spray that distracts your dog and interrupts your dog's barking. The spray works with four of the dog's five senses - he hears it, sees it, feels it and smells it. Citronella is a unique scent that most dogs don't normally encounter. It's non-offensive to humans, yet "unusual" enough to distract your dog. We tried this collar on our barking dogs and it made an instant difference. Remember, the collar should be used as a training tool and not as a punishment. When your dog doesn't bark, reward your dog with a"good dog" and a treat. This is not the type of collar that you should put on your dog and forget. It holds 18-23 sprays before you'll need to use the refill bottle to refill the collar. Each kit includes: Gentle Spray Citronella Anti-Bark Unit, 24 inch Adjustable Nylon Collar, Citronella Spray Refill, two 6-volt batteries, and complete instructions. Gentle Spray vs. Shock Collars or Ultrasonic Collars -- Shock collars attempt to reduce barking with pain. In addition to being less effective, pain often increases anxiety (I know it does with me) and aggression and makes some behavior problems worse. The pain caused by ultrasonic collars isn't as severe as a shock collar, behavior experts observe only one-fourth the success rate as with the Gentle Spray Citronella Anti-Bark Collar.
