OK THIS NEEDS TO BE SHARED, PLEASE HELP. THERE IS A CAMPAIGN ABOUT TO END THE USE OF CRATES AND KENNELS IN THE DOG WORLD (I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU WHO IS BEHIND THIS CAMPAIGN) BUT USED PROPERLY CRATES AND KENNELS ARE VITAL PARTS TO ANY DOG TRAINING. THEY ARE NO MORE CRUEL THAN THE PLAY PENS OUR PARENTS USED ON US. IT DRIVES ME NUTS WHEN PEOPLE MAKE BLANKET STATEMENTS WITH NO FACTS TO BACK THEM UP... OK OFF MY SOAPBOX CLICK BELOW READ THE ARTICLE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, AFTER ALL I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME :-)

About Me
- Mike Deathe
Being able to train “any dog” is really not the question to ask. As far as I am concerned, training people is a much more effective way of solving problem behaviors in dogs. What I do is nothing new or magical. I use basic behavior theory, and positive reinforcement techniques to change behavior or teach proper ones to begin with. There are many ways to train a dog and if done right, none are any better than the other. I want all of my students to understand that positive reinforcement is, in my opinion, the best and fastest way to teach a dog. Please take the time to go to my website www.muttzrus.com and look at my blog (keep it simple stupid pet blog) and decide for yourself. You should not make training decisions based off of a brochure; talk to at least three trainers; check out blogs and get references; then make your choice. I hope that in the end you will choose me as your trainer
