Has anyone used this method for training. I am concerned about the dog getting into the habit of jumping on people? Secondly, I feed a natural diet and I'm concerned about cross contamination from raw meat when the dog takes traeats from your mouth. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

IMHO, The Tom Rose heeling tape is a excellent combination of inducive/compulsive training. The dog is rewarded with a treat for being in the correct heeling position, the sit,down, etc. The only way it could cause a jumping problem is if the dog was given a treat when it jumped up on the handler. Teaching a dog, or breaking a dog from jumping, is a seperate issue. As for the cross contamination, you don't have to use the dogs food, raw or otherwise, for treats. any easy to handle treat the dog likes can be used. In the attention exercises, I think, the tape also shows how you can give the treats without the dog taking it from your mouth, if thats a concern. This bothers some people. As Ed says in his puppy tape, it all depends where his mouth was before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Hope this helps.
In training with this tape, Tom uses mainly the Sch about turn. That will be different for AKC. If neither is a goal, either one will do. some teach both.

This tape is a very good tape to show motivationla methods with food as the motivator. Tom is an excellent trainer.
I am going to produce a Competition Heeling tape with Bernhard Flinks that will use a prey item as a motivator - another way to train a dog motivationaly. Both methods work - which one is an issue of the dogs temperament and the handlers training ability.
You asked about cross contamination on the raw diet - take the question to the correct thread.
Unless I am mistaken the tape does show the dog jumping on the handler in order to take food from the mouth in the early stages of training. Tom also mentions breaking the dog of this habit but I didn't catch that part unless it is because of the stump training. In regards to the cross contamination I posted that on the health issues. (Please go there and respond.

I love this video. I have a 2 year old male and a 4 month old female whom I have trained using this video. It works! But like anything it takes time and patience. Lots of it. My female runs to me staring at my face looking for food all the time. Actually she does it to everyone she comes to now. I have to keep a bag of treats readily available at all times. As far as cross contamination try using hot dogs. I have cooked them before and used them raw. Little bits of turkey and cheese also. Heck I even tried Vienna Suasage (gross). I don't recommend eating those. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I would try using food that is more edible for you also.
