Training a dog with a ball as distraction and praise as reward. This is a foster dog I have been training and she is available for adoption. i do not use food training.
Sunny is a magnificent dog, eager to please, and very smart. She needs to be the only dog as she does not get along with other dogs.
The 'Drop on Command' is a life saving command every dog should learn.
i'm training my blue nose pit bull following the book " The Koehler Method of Dog Training: Certified Techniques by Movieland's Most Experienced Dog Trainer " and i would like to find more videos of dog training following "Koehler" methods. i need some help i have to do this for my school senior project. please help thanks.

Read Vicki Hearne's "Adam's Task." She was a Koehler Trainer and wrote about dog philosophy.

Are William Koehler's methods really necessary anymore? So much has evolutionized in dog training since The Koehler Method book came out in 1962.

Dogs have not "evolutionized." Have you trained or rescued Pits? +80% of shelter dogs are Pits or mixed Pit. The "new" methods are not working well especially for dominant breeds.
Also, your question presumes that there is something wrong with the Koehler method. I don't agree. It is a humane, effective method that is more reliable than food training. The premise of Mr Koehler is that dogs are entitled to the consequences of their actions. Read Vicki Hearne's "Adam's Task."

The 'distance down' literally saved my dog's life once. Long story, but my dog was running full tilt toward a very icy road with a large car sliding fast toward him. He was less than 4ft from the curb, and I turned around & instantly dropped him. He hit the dirt immediately, and the car slid right on by. Thank you, Bill Koehler.

@Alexin1derland Thanks for watching.
Exactly what the distance down was designed to do. Not too many Koehler trainers out there anymore.
