Welcome to my channel! I'm Alexandra, a former Schutzhund/IPG- and pet dog trainer.
In recent years, I have freelanced as a Project Manager, Lead Content Writer (books, video scripts, SEO texts & social media articles), Dog Breed Consultant, Training Coach, and Head of Operations for K9 businesses like Fenrir Canine Leaders, DIYK9 and American Standard Dog Training.
Since then, I have embraced a force-free approach to dog training and consulting: The side-effects of causing pain and fear in dogs to suppress behaviors have been scientifically proven and range from increased fear and anxiety all the way to increased aggression.
This channel has no association, or affiliation, with other dog trainers. It is an indipendent platform for sharing dog content, and discussing all aspects of canine ownership and dog training.

Dog Training: Beagle practicing Focus, Sit-Stay and Down
I'm Alexandra Dittmann, a dog trainer from Germany, and this is Briana, an adopted 8 year-old Beagle.
Follow us on FB - zencanineconsulting/
Today, we're working on focus aka look-at-me / watch, and on her staying power in either the sit, or the down position. She used to bounce between the two with lightning speed, but she is catching on.

Thank you!
Well said
@HolisticDogTraining Thank you 🙂
Each owner must decide what works for them. I am not a fan of e collars or prong collars: don't use them period. Way I look at things is: why are people using e collars or prong collars?? Is it they really don't have the experiance to train without them. Ps the person you aren't mentioning is under a different name on you tube
Not every owner or professional is aware of the long-term consequences of these tools, and many lack the knowledge or experience needed to address the root causes of behavior.
@MishyKessel Thanks for your comment - the person's illicit "new" Tube channel(s) have been duly reported to UA-cam, both by me and other trainers who had a hand in the termination of his original channel. Already, there's no content showing on the front page of the newest channel, which points to a takedown by UA-cam being already in progress. Also, he's admitted that he's had "various of his social media platforms" threaten to cut public access if he didn't take down certain posts, comments and videos about other trainers. Website hosts and other platforms don't play around - if they say you have to take content down and you don't do it, you loose your platform, period, there is not much leeway. We've seen entire well-established websites terminated by the web host after 7 days of giving such a warning to the website owner. Knowing this, the person conceded and took everything down that had been asked to be taken down. Truly, team work makes the dream work 🙂
@ True - especially dog owners are often quite unaware of the negative side-effects of aversive tools and techniques.
@@HolisticDogTraining true on the long term consiqunces. I live in Australia, we barely see them here: I live in one state that uses them, 3 other states have banned prong collars, but only seen one in use. Root cause of problems should always be a focal point: agree some may not know how to deal with those properly
@@alexandradittmann8588 hence why I am not a fan of them: I am aware of the not so good effects. Have literally done the research kn these items
Amazing 🎉
Thank you, Afra!

Thank you!
Don't forget to eat a balanced diet - so easy these days ;) Dogs are not hypercarnivores: like our species, they can synthesize the aminoacids they need from sources such as legumes and grains. I think a plant-based diet can be even better for a dog (I'm looking at you, Bramble). I used to have dogs, but at the moment I live with two rescue cats, and they need to eat meat or fish. I know vegan cat food exists, but I'm not sure it's a good idea, and I love my cats too much to experiment on them. I dream of a world in which lab-grown meat is available for carnivorous pets and people who can't live without meat because of some conditions. Who knows? maybe, one day . . . . Feliz ano novo 🌱
Feliz ano novo! Thank you for your very thoughtful comment - as a vegan, I've been looking into plant-based options for my dogs, but I feel about this like you do with your cats (not daring to take the risk of them getting nutritional deficiencies). I'll be researching into this topic more for sure, as we hear more and more cases of very healthy vegan dogs. I also like your vision of a future where lab-grown meat is made available for our dogs and cats.
Very nice and great video sharing Alexandra
Thank you, dear Zeeshan, for all your support!
