Is Dog Training Scientific?

2011-06-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

When you think about it, practically everything you do or think of must be based on various scientific assumptions. Each of us builds our understanding of how things work by accumulating and organizing information and then interpreting it based on our presuppositions and experiences.

What is Effective Correction?

2011-06-15T09:00:00.001-07:00

Dogmen, must lead your dog in wise decisions. But this training, if it is going to be lasting, must be done with a form of pain for the foolish behavior. In this way, you will also be encouraging the good behavior with verbal praise for the behavior.

To Theorize or Not to Theorize...That is the Question...

2011-06-14T09:00:00.000-07:00

One of my common problems with many of the training methodologies is that the proponents of many of those systems develop and write their systems from the comfort of the computer chair with little or no practical application. They only know theory. This kind of theory is largely useless.

However, this does not mean that some theory is not useful and important. In fact theory is essential. But theory that is not tested is merely conjecture and speculation. Read the rest of this article here.

Titanium Teeth, Dog Breeds, and other questions...

2011-06-10T09:00:00.000-07:00

There has been some wild speculation about what breed of dog was used in the assault on the Bin Laden compound and if there were surgical modifications to said dog.

There are several breeds that are commonly used and fully capable of doing the job required to integrate into a Navy Seal Team. Among them are the German Shepherd’s Dog, the Belgian Malinois (pronounced Mal-in-wa), the Dutch Shepherd’s dog and others.

Can Dogs be on Special Forces Raids?

2011-06-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

I saw the potential for these dogs and their application in almost every aspect of life, to include the highest level of military application many years ago. My mentor at Baden K-9 was talking about it long before I was. Both of us were told we were crazy.

I have not really discussed this in the public eye for several years, as I have spent time overseas and at home testing, training, and determining the best techniques for integrating dogs into every area of life.

Pillar #12 Anything a Soldier, LE Officer or Tracker Can Do, They Can Do With a Dog

2011-06-08T09:00:00.000-07:00

This pillar is closely related to Pillar #11, but is more of the practical. Previously we discussed the concept that you SHOULD integrate your dog into your life. But this pillar states that you CAN do it. Anything a Soldier, LE Officer or Tracker Can Do, They Can Do With a Dog.
