@armandocm There is one near me, and I'll likely enlist her services in the future if I start having issues with my training. But I've purchased 6 of Ellis' DVD's and the online Puppy course as well, so I feel like I have a solid training system framework to get started with. Then if I begin to...

@sweetapple I don't get why you are getting down voted. Training an incompatible behavior is a real solution.

@wifeandmom Gonna go look through the current stream sale to see if there is anything I could get to supplement the course I'm gonna get.

@wifeandmom Im gonna wait for the christmas sale they have on the courses and get the one I listed, but thanks for the tip

@delcrux What do you think I just described? Thats him working…..He’s guarding the house

@orlando_wcbc Thank you for the response. Some valuable insight there

9 month old Malinois, who gets regular exercise. He is becoming increasingly more and more reactive inside the house. ANY vehicle that drives by (especially loud trucks/motorcycles), any kind of "not normal" noise (for instance: a truck beeping in reverse), ANYTHING is setting him in to barking...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Oh I didn't realize he had a course, I will look into that, thank you.

@imagebeastmarkbeast Thanks....I have a firm grasp of the basics. I'm more interested in how to increase focus & motivation. I will watch some of his stuff though, as I said, he is obviously a solid trainer.

@joosten0603 Thank you OP for introducing me to this method. I've been trying to find the "right" approach I want to take for my dogs reactivity (mostly to dogs). Since I wasn't finding the common counter-conditioning/desensitization techniques of "see trigger, get food" to be very effective...

@imagebeastmarkbeast I've watched some of Nate's stuff, and he is obviously a quality trainer. However, I'm not interested in learning how to train particular behaviors. I'm more interested in the underlying forces at play when training. I'm also not interested in a "non-aversive" philosophy, it...

@fl269fl269 Thanks! I'll check them out.

@mypathmyquest Good points, thank you for your input

@imagebeastmarkbeast Yah, Im very OCD when it comes to my interests hobbies. I have to learn everything I possibly can before beginning the endeavor. Hence why Im spending countless hours researching training. I also found a very solid breeder who has paired these two parents specifically for...

@imagebeastmarkbeast I love how every time I make a post mentioning the breed, someone tries to tell me “its not a family breed”. Im not some schmuck that buys a dog on a whim. Ive done my research and am fully aware of what the breed is. Thank you for your concern though.

@joyinchrist4234 I can see that, having listened to his podcast. I did really enjoy his episode WITH Michael Ellis though haha. I do REALLY enjoy listening to M.E., there is something about the way he explains things, and his delivery that is very captivating and easy to comprehend. Thank you...

Background Info: I'm fairly new to dog training, although I've owned a couple dogs (hound/lab mix, pharoah hound, GSD) in the past which I did very limited amounts of training with. I have spent the past month educating myself on the principles of operant conditioning and classical conditioning...
