This is Treibball!

Treibball (literally ‘blowing ball’ in German) was created in Germany as an easy, fun, inexpensive and convenient way for active dog owners to exercise their dogs by participating in a sport they could enjoy together.  Treibball can provide the physical, mental and handling challenges of dog agility without the need for a large area and extensive equipment.  Treibball started out primarily intended for herding dogs but is suitable for any size, age or breed of dog.

What is Punishment in Dog Training?

When we are talking about punishment with regard to our dogs, punishment is anything that is intended to reduce an undesirable behavior.  Shouting, hitting or withholding a toy or affection can all be considered punishment.

It is very important to recognize that something we may consider punishment may not actually be punishment to your dog.  Likewise, something you may not consider punishment may very well be punishment to your dog.  Punishment then is in the eye of the one being punished.  Remember, punishment is something that your dog will seek to avoid or escape.  Read more
