like to welcome dan goldberg thank you welcome there let's talk all the best dan dad you have an organization it's called keystone canine training club correct and that's a nonprofit organization and what do you do there we offer all kinds of dog training starting from puppy kindergarten to puppy medians training to regular medians training to more advanced obedience training and then we also have a bunch of other training programs including rally which is a type of a medians for dogs are going through an obstacle course with different obedience requirements as they go we have a gelati it's different than agility agility we also do again starting from rank beginners a lawyer to advance competitors like crystal agility is like an obstacle course for dogs where they have to navigate hurdles or jumps and go up and down a see saw go through tunnels weave in are now through a bunch of poles on the ground agility and they just love it it's just a lot of fun for them and we do other things too we have we just started last year or this past year tricks class to teach dogs tricks there's an old saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks not true dog she can smell it from a mile away and this encourages dogs to use their scent work in different types of sense and all these new things so we started back in one nine hundred ninety and we found that there is more puppy needs basic obedience training and we went to keystone canine we were located in bethel park at that time and we just had a family pit we didn't know anything about agility around these other things we did a basic obedience training a dog that dog who's long class and the dog loved it right away we did more and more and friend of ours who was teaching the class you know you're always getting pretty good at this you should try competing with her and we said that and we have no interest in any competition we just want to do this for fun and it was fun but she kept bugging us and we eventually tried competition and turned out it was even more fun we just kind of evolved to the point where we did a lot of the competition i do a lot lecturing at  course that probably have trouble doing and having a good time and the funny thing a time they would like fall off a something they just get right back on radio it's not we're done i don't know what to do now it's it's moving forward it's kind of amazing joy i mean i've never saw a group of people so concerned about supporting the body i was always impressed by that yeah we actually do that exact same thing we give or dogs fish oil supplements it's like a human athlete you know if you're running all the time and jumping all the time it's little more than we do right now for the older dogs it kind of helps them and for the younger dog it's more of a preventative than anything so you mentioned puppy kindergarten  k this is for dogs who are anywhere from about twelve weeks old up to six months old and it's kind of a two part class dogs that age is very important they be socialized with their dogs so they learn how to play with other dogs and they don't get aggressive or fearful of other dogs so what we do and we spend about twenty twenty five minutes at the beginning of the class teaching some basic manners things like you know don't jump on me learn how we segregate the little dogs from the big dogs and we divide the room and have the dogs run and play together and the little dogs want to play together and it's very interesting when they are some of the dogs who have never met another dog in their life ok this is the first time they've had a chance to be with  next step right we do which is the next step is puppy family manners which is dog six months to one year and that more concentrates on basic obedience schools again more work on things like s comes leave if you see the chocolate on the ground which is poisonous of the dog you know when the dog going and getting it so you say leave it in the dog ideally would ignore the treat and come to you things like that so  fairly trained and lost because somebody lost their house and went to an apartment or went somewhere i don't really get a lot of stories but can i come to you with an old absolutely we have adult basic obedience classes as have every every dog is almost every dog has an issue yeah some excessively or gaining everybody has a breath and the classes are designed to cover the basics but if somebody has a specific problem story i have four doxies of course tigers in a wheelchair so i'm feeding them and i've been feeding them on little paper bowls so that i wash dishes and so the paper boy so my dog gabby who have had the longest i've had her eight years ever since then if the other dogs is like getting near she picks that ball she figured this out she picks it up and she puts it into her zone and away from their zone and i watch it every day now so she like that actually figured out she liked it and she continues to do it so that's somewhat of an approach i bet that you're using when you train them you ward them am i correct in in a good movie havior and then they like that and they repeated that's exactly right way back when when i first started taking dogs and again that was back in the early nineties over twenty years ago we use the old fashioned technique was there was no other way where we would jerk the dogs around with a collar on and yelled them if they did something wrong  that is extremely in hindsight is extremely ineffective but that was real ocular there was a very popular very ineffective what we do now is one hundred percent positive reinforcement is we reward the dogs for things they do right and ignore anything we don't like and the dog will quickly learn to do what ever it takes to get a reward to get a treat now it could be a food treat it could be a toy it could be anything and i can show you a little bit how that works for the person to watch watch to get a treat stay now and theoretically i can just leave the state in a state i can actually leave the stage which is going to hard to do with these wires here but can't walk very far down yet all right i'm going to go very far here thought wow so you can see that's what that's what positive reinforcement looks like is you're not you're going to dog around a dog is offering willingly offering you a behavior to get a treat and that's how we it i've had no official training on how to train a dog i just go with what i go with and i've taken i've had the one dog is a puppy she never walked with a leash in our life i couldn't i could put her curbside walk across the street and say stay and that dog wouldn't budge and whine and rock a little bit like i want to come but you never ever attempted to do that and these are the things that are super intelligent and more and more i have a lot and i've had them all that maybe four years of my life the more i believe that i hear stories dogs andrine they're not they can't reason they can't do any that's my proof and my observation with my dogs and other people's dogs they absolutely can and you can teach an old dog new tricks absolutely and it's just a matter of like you said your positive reinforcement right now the younger you start the quicker the dog will learn just like adults sure but any dog any age can pretty much learn this might just take a little longer than a more persistence with an know pester you anything i get her in the car and the minute i go to the destination i want to go and she's in the car whatever stimuli she sees she's bargain at car pulls up people walking by to the outside the pack and she developed that later on it wasn't on the onset when she wasn't the alpha when i brought her in i already had other ones and she never did and that was when she moved to club for dogs that pass this test and we have a preparation class where we go through all the different schools needed to pass that test then we have another program which we do the testing we also do testing for some third international that's a little more involved than just the citizen additional skills where the dogs are required to show that they are not in wheelchairs and walkers and things like that these are typically dogs that would go even heart conditions and then the patients are able to get on the medication before the event occurs so this service dog branch of it is pretty incredible now i had an ad that was an accomplice and when i would take one of my dogs and they're  all and they never said don't bring them and they just kept doing that yeah like you'd walk out the hallway and of course there'd be people out in the hallway in their wheelchairs and on the benches and so forth and it took forever to get down the and visit nursing homes whatever and my wife and krystal do that she'll get a call from a nurse and says hey we have a patient needs to see a dog and she will take her there then in addition to that we have a group in our club called the canine or  puppy or something like that you know and the relative who's there with the patient is like amazed that the storm was able to bring this person out there lethargy yeah amazing the reaction of credit there's an  to bring that up as i do course a lot of traveling and i have to take tucker because he's paralyzed and when i went online online for the different airlines and so there's the you can bring a pet if it's in the carrier underneath the seat and there's no bigger heavier than this and so forth and then one one airline a seventy five bucks what airline is one hundred fifty each way and all that kind of stuff and then as a marine down my cell service dog and i was i always knew what a service dog was i had some experience of service dogs not so much aware what an emotional support dog was and so they have a classification emotional support so what i ask questions and found out about people psychologist and they're you're given a letter and now you're allowed to sit with the with the dog on the seat in the airplane in your lap or whatever because when i'm on a plane with soccer he stays that carries all the come out and donations bounce or budget by the income we get from people paying for classes that people take to classes are eligible to apply for membership which if they want to continue training makes sense because the a lot of people we've had people individually classes for five six years was every week you're going to see a different set up and it's a new challenge a new school so we have people who come year after year after year and just you know advocates excellent trainers really know their stuff and like you said have a dog has a specific behavior problem like too much more can you do something we get all our instructors know how to deal with how to give  training is to practice every day even just five minutes a day to reinforce what you learn in the class and it's very obvious the next week when you come back who's been practicing and you ok so like a kid with homework you know two of the next morning and it's obvious tha would like to find out more about it all the information about her
