@Riverbendagility ~ yes, REWARDS for doing it right is positive methods....PreMack is NEW SCHOOL- to compare to this OLD school. The dog is clearly conflicted- ears back, not willing to move...I don't train with clickers, but with life rewards, play and FUN! JOY- dogs like to work with me because they get it- if they do as I ask, they get to have fun with what they want...not just food or praise...with games and good things.
OXTOTL, what are you afraid of? Having someone find out that you aren't what you say you are, that you don't really understand dogs? Identify yourself.
@eastcoastpups - I agree that Overfield is OVERBEARING. I am professional dog trainer and PHD who is trained to observe and analyze body language. She may get results, she is not a positive trainer. She uses corrections FIRST- not rewards-based.
@eastcoastpups - Her personality: voice, demeanor, body language- is offensive to me....objectively- she is "condescending". Listen to what she says to owners and dogs....
An inquisitive dog doesn't refuse to come when invited....she is old school methods.
@ANGUSSANDY Ears back and refusal to approach when asked is behaviorally appropriate for FEAR. The woman's personality is intimidating. She does not use "REWARDS-based" learning- which is why I would say she is not a positive trainer. People think Cesar Milan is "good", too- yet, he is not rewards-based, and he trains with intimidation. Yes, she trains as though she learned how 38 yrs ago with intimidation.
The dog doesn't want to come to her...notice - ears back...dog's body language is intimidation...the bee-ach trainer snaps her fingers, uses ugly tone...I wouldn't "Come" to her either. It is ABOUT a good relationship with the dog....I wouldn't let this woman near my dogs....listen to her condescending voice to owner and dog.
