i watch cesar on tv-that makes sense, i’ve read many books on”positive only” approaches-that makes sense too. i have tried both clicker training and cesar’s way. i feel very confused. and opinions are strong and dogmatic(no pun intended) in both “camps”. meanwhile, my dog still has problems. one “way” seems to work for some things, another for others.

So I want my dog (siberian husky/alaskan malamute cross) to be in a dog sport and I was thinking agility. But she is 5 years old and so is it too late to start her on that?

What might be other dogsport opportunities for her? I know that there’s dog sledding but we don’t have very much snow where I live, nor the materials at our house/area.

I would like to train my dog how to use the bathroom outside and not in the house. Its very annoying cleaning after a pet. So, can you me a product or anything that can help me with this problem?

i want the best book that tells you all about training your dog tricks along with disc catching. best answer 10 pts!!!
btw i have a border collie/lab. thanks

Can I just clap my hands, or whistle? I can’t seem to pick up a clicker anywhere, not even the local pet store. :/

It seems like the positive training methods only get you so far. It’s a great method to communicate with the dog – have him think and problem solve. But in presence of distractions and other temptations, it doesn’t necessarily instill reliable obedience.

Please suggest methods, advice, books or courses. Thanks!
