4Paws University

My favorite page is 4Paws University! This page is full of amazing information and some of her post that I enjoy are: Mythbusting Monday, Tuesday Training Tip and New Word Wednesday. 

4Paws University is a free resource for dog lovers who wish to learn more about dog training and behavior using non-aversive methods.  We promote non-aversive training methods.  

Dog training has changed a lot in the last 15 years, as the science of learning and behavior have increased our knowledge of dogs.  Dog owners now know it is unnecessary to use methods that rely on punshment and are seeking out reward-based training services more than ever before.  Reward-based training uses positive reinforcement to build good behavior using smart, practical strategies to promote good behavior and change even the most serious problem behaviors.

Reward-based training automatically adapts to any dog or any behavior, eliminating the need for shock collars, prong collars, or other aversive tools and methods of the past.  Regardless of breed or behavior.

Reisner Veterinary Behavioral & Consulting Services

Our aims are (1) to help pet owners safely and humanely manage the behavior of their companion animals, and (2) to apply good science to the study and practice of dog bite prevention.

Fearfuldogs.com

The Fearfuldogs.com website was created to help people living and working with fearful dogs find the most humane and effective ways of helping these special needs animals.

Pet Professional Guild

The Pet Professional Guild is the only pet industry member association that not only advocates for force-free dog training and pet care professionals but also publicly states its guiding principles and holds strong to protect their integrity.
