McDonald emphasizes that obedience training is the same, whether you are training a house pet or a national champion at a doggie school. “Obedience training is a prerequisite to any other training,” he states. “The keys to training a dog are consistency, repetition, and association. I’ve often heard a quote that says ‘practice makes perfect’, but that is incorrect. Perfect practice makes perfect. You need to know the correct way to practice, because if you do it wrong to begin with, no matter how much you practice, it will still be wrong.” In other words, you need to know how to train your dog correctly before obedience training will work.

McDonald also places great emphasis on the balance between praise and discipline. “When you issue a command and the dog follows  it properly, you give lavish praise, which is positive reinforcement. When he doesn’t follow the command, you discipline the dog. But proper discipline is not abuse. A dog can be disciplined by a firm deep growl in a trainer’s voice; other dogs can be disciplined by taking them by the scruff of the neck and giving them a good growling ‘talking to’.” Find additional info here.

Once obedience training has been completed and properly instilled in the dog, it can move on to more advanced training, such as condition retrieving or force fetch programs. McDonald specializes in training gun dogs such as retrievers, pointers and flushing breeds. He has acquired years of experience in field trials up and down the East Coast, in which his dogs have won numerous titles and ribbons. His current star pupil, a Black Labrador Retriever named Gunner, that is 5 years old, is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished using McDonald’s methods in a relatively short period of time.

McDonald and Gunner have demonstrated obedience and retrieving skills in many area sports shows. The two have a full schedule of shows and demonstrations coming up throughout the rest of 2011.
