Gone To The Dogs - Dog Training and Comprehensive In-Home Animal Training

	Dog Whisperer http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/foundation This is a link to the “Dog Whisperer” and under referrals, it will take you to http://www.dogpro.org Which is the only Association I partner with, being “International Association of Canine Professionals” referring the professionals of this Association. I personally am thankful that Cesar has opened eyes towards correcting behavioral issues through the understanding of Canine Psychology. We agree in principle yet use different approaches. i.e. Cesar trains using a pack, I train using direction and re-direction in a behavioral sense, using obedience. We both train (re-train) owners/families to understand the needs of their companions. I’m a strong advocate of “Early Stimulation”; “Imprinting” and “Understanding How Dogs Think by Wm Campbell”. I have been asked numerous times about the comparison between Cesar and myself and I state what I said above but I have been doing so for twenty seven plus years; having said that, I want to emphasize this in no way takes away from Cesar or his abilities and I admire what he has created for himself and the awareness it serves for our companions. Watching his program will help you to some degree but generally you’ll need professional guidance in most instances. Good training, use knowledge, patience and repetition. Beware of “Method Training” and “Franchise Trainers”. The idea that they will guarantee lifetime programs is usually because it isn’t done right the first time! "Dr. P's" Dog Training www.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/dog.htm "Dr. P's" training site. A lot of good info but there is some I don't agree with, but that's okay. Working Retriever www.workingretriever.com Resource for field dogs. Leerburg Video & Kennel leerburg.com Huge source of information and great training videos. Ed has his own way of doing things and lets you know it. You may see my name under some Rottweiler videos I scanned for them. Personally love the site and the guy who started it!

	Imperative Reading
	Breeding Better Dogs www.breedingbetterdogs.com/achiever.html Carmen L. Battaglia. This is a program I highly recommend for breeders. This is Early Neurological Stimulation days 3-16. Pet Behavior Resources: HOW DOGS THINK, A NON-VERBAL LINK TO CANINE COMMUNICATION www.webtrail.com/petbehavior/dogthink.html William E. Campbell author. I used to say to clients, "this is a well written article...", but I was sent to the corner for that statement by a client English teacher. So now I say, "...it has lots of pertinent information that every dog owner needs to understand." Whew! DOG Logic: Vaccine Protocol www.doglogic.com/vaccination.htm Want to know more about immunization? This is it.
	Associations
	American Kennel Club www.AKC.org This is the "Big Momma" in the U.S. for kennel and dog registration. Being A.K.C. registered is not a reason to buy a dog. I see pups being sold as if this were something big. It’s like selling a car that is DMV registered. That’s not to take anything away from the A.K.C. as I personally appreciate the work they have done in DNA and genome project. American Working Dog Federation www.AWDF.net Deutscher Verin fur Gebrauschdehund in America www.DVGAmerica.com Federation Cynologique Internationale www.FCI.be The Fédération Cynologique Internationale is the World Canine Organisation. It includes 84 members and contract partners (one member per country) that each issue their own pedigrees and train their own judges. The FCI makes sure that the pedigrees and judges are mutually recognized by all the FCI members. United States Rottweiler Club www.USRConline.org United States Rottweiler Club under the International curtain of A.D.R.K. and the F.C.I. United Schutzhund Clubs of America www.germanshepherddog.com Working Dog Europe www.working-dog.eu

	www.lgcowhorse.at Mariella Muenzer is a horse woman plus raising fine German Sheherds, plus she raises and competes on Americna Quarter horses, can't beat that! www.von-der-adelegg.de Franziska & Timo Albers also raise top working German Shepherds some of them competing here in the U.S.A. www.vom-wallensener-hof.gratis-homepage.de Stephanie Zimmermann is a young woman with great dogs and a great breeding program. Seems like a real sweetheart from our communications. korbmachern.maschbau.org Tried to buy a couple females from Michael Hintzen but the airfare made it unrealistic. Certainly seems like a gentleman! www.doellenwiese.de Frank Hennicke has a very famous kennel with some of my all time favorite German Shepherds Mona and her son Yoschy von der Dollenwiese. Mona produced with several top stud dogs and her value to the breed has to be unestimatable; the same with Yoschy!
