THE TRUE NATURE OF DOGS

July 2, 2011 By Cheryl Aguiar |

How to Reach a Positive and Happy Relationship With Your Dog

Purpose: This course will serve as an introduction to C.W. Meisterfeld’s philosophy of dog training. C.W. Meisterfeld was using and writing about positive reinforcement for dog training in the early 50’s. After taking this course the student will be able to apply Meisterfeld’s basic principles of mutual trust & respect.  Rehabilitating aggressive dogs is a focus of this course.

Whether you have a new puppy, a “problem dog”, an aggressive dog, or just want to act properly around dogs, you should take this dog training course. It could save your dog’s life and, at least equally important, save you, innocent children and friends from the horrors of dog bites and from the nightmare of having to put your dog to sleep. The good news is that it will teach you how to reach a positive, mutually satisfactory, happy relationship with your dog without using negative methods in his training, such as intimidation, force, punishment, and pain. Even more amazing it will enable you to do this because you abstain from these negative methods.

C.W.’s methods are based on over 55 years of experience in the uniformly successful training of dogs of all breeds and ages. Even more important, in over 45 years of Specializing in rehabilitation of aggressive dogs, biting dogs, problem dogs, many dogs were saved from death by these methods and returned to their happy owners as safe and well-mannered pets.

Format: This course is approximately 2-3 hours in length. It is a piece of dog training history that has withstood the test of time: 60 plus years! Format is of 1.  a powerpoint with interviews and recordings from the late C.W. Meisterfeld moderated by Rhonda Camfeld, the legal recipient of his intellectual property, friend and lifelong student of “William.” Rhonda rehabilitates aggressive Bull Terriers…not a task for everyone…using the methods she learned from Dr. Meisterfeld. 2. You will also see several video demonstrations as though you were at his seminar. 3. You will also be given detailed knowledge, skills and step by step instruction in his method. Meisterfeld was truly one of the pioneers of non-aversive training with dogs. Read about him by clicking HERE. This is dog training history that works and can be used by anyone.

American Humane Hero Dog Awards

June 29, 2011 By Cheryl Aguiar |

Ok, my leap into the world of blogging.

I finally have an important push. A very special student of ours, Heddie Leger, just lost her four-legged “Hero” to cancer. Though I never met Heddie or Hero, we just have always had that connection that doesn’t seem to need real or frequent contact. It was Hero and my Rottweilers from the past that brought us together. We have had many long emails telling the stories and lessons these dogs have given us.

Hero and Heddie, among MANY things, were the demo dog for the Missouri Correctional Dog Training program called Puppies for Parole. One of Hero and Heddie’s friend, also a part of the Missouri Correctional Dog Training Program is “Captain Jack.” Captain Jack has been nominated for the “Emerging Hero Dog.” He is representing the only cancer research group. It would be such a wonderful thing for his story to win as it would be featured on the Hallmark channel. [Read more…]

Joyce Wampler, Morocco

..JoyceWampler-Tangier2012. It is not the easiest program available. I studied all that was out there and found e-training to fulfill everything to move forward in the learning process. I have a few more goals, and will begin to settle in to refreshers and continuing education. I love learning and have really enjoyed experiencing the learning experience through the professionals you have enlisted in your programs. This will not be the last time you hear from me. I have other goals and desires to fulfill in order to help more people and animals. Many blessings to you, Heddie L.

I am a dog trainer in Morocco for the past three years. I just finished the Associate Dog Trainers course with E-Training for Dogs. I love it! I learned so much throughout the course. The teaching staff and Cheryl were very helpful and encouraging to me. I couldn’t have done it without them! I am excited to use my new dog training knowledge in Morocco. I plan to take more courses with E-training for dogs. Joyce W.

I am a pedigree German, bred and raised there, unfortunately without exposure to keeping dogs, and moved to Southern Africa in 1988. I got involved in dog obedience training in Namibia in 1993 when my first dogs, 2 staffies, ran my life. I started teaching training classes in 1995 (unfortunately the traditional way) and I even managed to pass the KUSA obedience A-Test with Shandy, one of the staffies. During this journey I started crossing over to more positive training methods and taught myself clicker training, which I now use in training all my dogs.
My interest in therapy work started in 2006, and in February 2007, I qualified with my Rottweiler Rayah as therapy dog team. In March 2009, with the help of friends and my husband Piet, we established our own therapy dog organisation, Caring Friends Therapy Dogs. I am currently working my Russian Black Terrier Aleks as therapy dog, since Rayah has mostly retired from the work. I also have 2 Golden Retrievers (Molly & Kimba), both being qualified therapy dogs, too.
In October 2010, I started my own dog training school, Happy Tails Dog Training Center, in the Vaal Triangle (South Africa), initially focusing on therapy dog training, but due to demand, extending into puppy and pet dog training classes. Although I had acquired my Advanced Behaviourist certificate with the Pretoria Technikon in 2003 and studied many books on positive training methods and canine behaviour, I felt I lacked more hands on experience and guidance. I enrolled in the ADT programme with “e-Training for Dogs”, to gain further qualifications and knowledge that would help me grow my training school into a professional establishment. Although the journey through the programme was long and tedious (only due to lack of time I could devote to my studies), it was a wonderful experience. The instructors were all exceptionally helpful and the study material of outstanding quality. I feel privileged to have studied under such reputable trainers and behaviourists, and have gained invaluable knowledge and experience throughout the modules. I now feel ready and equipped to grow my training school to new heights and my goal is to become the “Brand Name in Dog Training” in our area. Thank you, Cheryl, for your guidance throughout and for offering such a great programme. I look forward to attending more courses with the International College for Canine Studies, for further enrichment.
