Noisy Dogs
When we began our careers, you didn't see much variety in training
tools beyond a metal chain collar and 6-foot leash. Nowadays, shop-
ping for your dog is as much fun as taking a child to the candy store.
The toys are colorful, noisy, and creative. In the collar and leash sec-
tion, lengths, style, and colors abound. Most excitedly, training sec-
tions contain gadgets, devices, and equipment to aid everyone and
any dog, regardless of age, personality, or learning capacity.
The joy of new-age training tools and gadgets is that many of them
assist your dog's learning ability, thus considerably shortening the
time it takes your dog to learn a new behavior. It may take weeks
for a puppy to associate sitting with your repeated direction,
although it will take only minutes to associate a clicker sound with
a tasty reward .
