This was on another board: I don't advise pet owners to ever use the dog's name in conjunction with the word "No." They already have a tendency to do it, anyway.
Besides, if you use the dog's name before every command, then the name loses all meaning whatsoever.
This was in answer to someone wanting to know how to let one dog know that it was doing something wrong, while another dog was being good (both in the same room). Your thoughts on this????
I always say my dogs name before giving him any command (except stay). By saying the dogs name first it gives him the opportunity to become aware that a command is comming. You know, an attention getter. I think just saying a dogs name followed with nothing isn't a good idea. However, when I do hand signals I don't use his/her name at all, but by that time they have learned to watch me at all times.
I think this is one of those things that you can argue around and around and get nowhere. In SchH we can't say the dog's name before any command... so it isn't best to get started with that.
I use my dogs names as an informal come command.... basically get your booty back over here!
In the case of correcting one dog verbally and not the other, I would have to say how else is the dog supposed to know who the correction is for if you do not say the name other than eye contact and posture, which depending on what the dog is doing, may not be in view...
Then there are a group of trainers that all think the word NO is too negative to use on a dog. :rolleyes:

I don't have a rule book with me right now. So Gary Hanrahan and many others should have been docked points for doing all three to every blind at the nationals? I was always taught to do this.
I am confused because I have never heard this before.
Whoops! I guess the judge was wrong... unless they changed that rule recently! I don't have the new $30 superrule book yet, but according to the old one you are correct.
"Searching for the Helper:
Commands: Voran or Revier and Hier the command Hier or Come may be given in combination with the dogs name. "
Vic Wilms docked two people for that... I was confused prior to that and then I thought it was so...
