Could you imagine walking into this restaurant and seeing Dr. Ian Dunbar and Zak George...at the same table?? Haha Great vid, lots of familiar talking points from Dr. Dunbar's seminar! You can have the best of both worlds, the science that learning theory offers and the relationship based training that comes from just loving and spending time with your dog.

@Dalmatianlovergirl84 Dr. Ian Dunbar is to dog training what The Beatles are to rock and roll.

@AboutDogTraining3 I get that you disagree with what many people say, however from the many of your posts that I have seen of yours, it is never positive, and only critisism. This takes away from any credibility than you have. Just some friendly advice. Not dissagreeing with your point of view, more how you communicate it.

@dalemk90, you retarded pigeon brained dog choker; no one cares about your idiotic challenges. You've already proven at DogStarDaily that you simply don't understand the science involved and you have no interest in learning. All you do is repeat your set of catch phrases and never produce any evidence that supports your moronic claims

[dalemk90]

Still waiting for a response from Dunbar regarding influence type and how conditioning is exploited and used by himself and others. Its all agenda driven and appearances.

@bonusbarclay Well if you're okay with that there's no problem, but if you want the dog to stop barking at cars all together then do what 44thsavage suggested, it's an excellent way to train. Sure it takes time but it's bound to be effective with repetition and lots of praise.

[bonusbarclay]

@ChurtleSnap But how can you use positive reinforcement when he does not bark in the presence of a human? The Presence of a human is enough comfort and feeling of security so he does not feel he has to bark.

[ChurtleSnap]

@bonusbarclay Oh but you wrote 'shock or zap' so it sounded a lot like a shock collar to me. But I still prefer positive reinforcement then a tool that physically effects a dog.

[bonusbarclay]

@ChurtleSnap I would and have never shocked my dog. I am saying, because the dog does not bark when a human is there, that an e-collar, which vibrates but not shocks, would work.

[ChurtleSnap]

@bonusbarclay Also think about it this way. The shock collar hasn't stopped your dog from barking at passing cars, it's only done that temporarily because it was in pain. With positive training, your dog can stop barking at cars completely. And I'm sure you don't enjoy causing your dog pain.

@bonusbarclay lets say you take an hour of your time to sit next to the road with your dog, after you did exercise with him. When he barks, you correct him, not by hitting him or shocking, but by saying NO, or pointing your finger, or whatever works. When he doesn't bark, you react happy and reward him. Do this like zak would say, genuine and sincerely. he will get it after some TIME.
