Did anyone else see Tamar Geller on Oprah? Competent, confident, attractive and she takes a positive, hands-off approach which is my own preference. Oprah was also sold on the idea, and for good reason - as we saw on camera, her methods worked for Oprah and her three young Golden Retrievers. I like it when TV shows air actual results, and don't just try to tell you they got them (anyone hear a whisper?) It pleases me to hear that Oprah's dog trainer these days is a positive trainer. Oprah is one of those people you would expect to have lovely, but bad mannered dogs. And indeed she did! Few boundaries and endlessly generous. But the talent of Tamar Geller was to communicate to Oprah exactly what she needed to do in a positive and hands-off way to show her dogs clearly what she would prefer them to do. Dogs just do what works for them, whether they are just annoying behaviours like jumping on people (Oprah's dogs) or very serious behaviors like biting people. If you have read "The Loved Dog" I'd like to hear your opinion on it. The techniques Geller used were simple, and I know that in most cases they will work. Some readers of "The Loved Dog" will want to learn more, and I guess that is where sites like this one come in - we expand on that basic philosophy. If you are a "Loved Dog" method fan, I'm sure you will feel right at home here. You might even want to sign up for our free Secrets of Positive Dog Training for Real Results [1] e-course for tons of positive dog training articles using techniques that expand on the ideas put forth in The Loved Dog. It goes into a little bit more of the theory behind Geller's techniques, without getting too technical. If you have a barking dog, we also offer this e-course [2] which customises an e-course for your specific barking dog problem. It's supported by sponsorship so it is also free.
