Honestly, the only reason I have joined this forum was to a.) maybe learn some tips from other trainers and B.) provide advice to dog owners that may need it.
Thank You
Chris
Hi Chris and welcome...
Start a new thread in the bio section to introduce yourself. Maybe you can describe in better detail the premise behind foundation style dog training and what you like about the method, versus other styles of training...
Here's a link to the member bio section:

I'm sorry Bidisha, I'm simply confused.
Who or what are you feeding? Your husband? Your dogs? The aggressive acting dogs?
I'm not trying to be funny or make fun, that part is really confusing to me.
If it's the aggressive acting dog, I wouldn't do it more then once or twice. Try it now without feeding perhaps it'll let you pass with no grief. Maybe the dog was reacting to you and not your dogs.
If your treating your dogs for training against distraction. Do you have all your marker training homework done?
If your feeding your husband, make sure it's a high value treat. Contray to the popular myth, the male species can be trained throughout their life span given the proper incentive.
If my dog isn't learning, I'm doing something wrong.
Randy

I have two dogs, different breed, elder one is lazy and the younger one is a high drive bitch, swift and basically a snap dog. She knows perfectly how to tease the other. Previously they had a very hostile relation with frequent attackes etc. but after reading the ebooks they are much more tolerant with each other. But sometimes the elder one growls when the smaller one irritates her. I corrected both at the same time, but still these happen at least twice a week. I want to have an idea n how long they will take to get the teaching registered?
On the way to their play ground our local fire brigade building is located, where the staff given shelter to two stray dogs, one is vey calm and the other is pretty aggressive. During first few weeks my dogs (on leash always) tried to chase him and I & my husband tried to frighten him with a stick, but nothing worked. One day on the way to the park I put my dogs in custody of my husband and told him to stay aside and I offered him treats. Since then he stopped showing aggression. But shall my behaviour create any negative effect on my dogs or I shall use sticks to stop the strange dog? I personally don't like to hit animals, so plz advise.
As Randy points out, it's not clear which dog you are giving treats to.
Also, are you saying that YOUR dog tries to chase the unleashed fire dog, or vice versa?
How long have you owned each of your dogs?

Hmmmm....if a citronella product stops a "moderately aggressive dogs" in your training experience, you are training low aggression dogs.
In our training world, a "moderately aggressive dogs" would eat you for using a beginners product like that.
And looking at the training website, ya'll have a Tom Rose graduate on the team, but everyone else reads like a beginner - so, it sure looks like a group of friends that calls themselves dog trainers.
I've belonged to small training groups where most of us had several times the experience in dog training ( and the titles in multiple dog sport venues to prove it ) compared to your group, so from a professional standpoint, the "Foundation" dog training seems like a claim without much to back it up.
That's one thing about this forum, if you make claims you gotta back them up. The tolerence for wannabes here is pretty low.

Did you mean that you gave treats to the stray dog, and now it is acting less
mean as you pass by?
If that is the case, then I think you found a solution, and it seems like a good solution.
The trainers on this forum would know much more than I.
I don't think giving a treat to a strange dog would harm your dog, it would seem that it would make you seem very "alpha", very in control.

I wouldnt feed a stray and attract it to me when I have any of my dogs. I would rather avoid them completely. I don't think giving a treat to another dog matters to mine, but I don't want to worry about the stray's reactions.

Steve i walk around an area with a lot of off-leash/uncontrolled dogs that are always coming up to either pick a fight or play with my dog, most seem harmless. one attacked my dog and i unintentionally punished my own dog with the leash and stopped it defending itself under attack, it is surprisingly difficult to kick the crap out of another dog while trying to restrain your own, did manage to get some payback in though.
what is the best way to deal with this not uncommon problem; have no idea who the owners are or the best way to approach it, some owners think it their democratic right to let their dogs run loose and i know some would not bother to recover their dog if it got picked by authorities of injured by a car - both cases get me angry. the easy option is to walk somewhere else i guess but i'm not the one doing the wrong thing, my dog is on a leash on public land. how to safely avoid conflict and not give my dog bad associations??

Some people carry a walking stick or a product like Chris mentioned on this thread. The way you describe it though Peter, sounds like there's nothing you can do about it but avoid it. Your not in the wrong, but its not going to help anything walking your dog through it telling everyone its your right to do so.

a stick i will get.
other advice is harder to take but probably best.
i feed a friends certified dangerous dog when he is away - psychotic/insane guard dog that wants to kill everything it sees but likes me - have thought of taking it for a walk with me one day.
