"Don's Doggie Dilemma"
Take my buddy Don.
Dogs do the funniest things! Every time I hear about a problem someone is having with their dog training , I want to just jump in and help out.
Don had this dilemma - he wants to train his dog WITHOUT being mean.
Here is what Don writes --
"I have read many articles regarding training your puppy .
Our
puppy is around 12 weeks old (we got him from the animal rescue)and the only really thing that bugs me is his never ending biting.

puppies to be almost 100% reliable within only about 10 days - even for aggressive dog training , and everyone who received these instructions from me and has stuck to them has had great success within one to two weeks.
It's all about supervision, a strict routine, consistency and lots of praise - especially concerning aggression or any other behavioral problems.
You get yourself a crate, a piece of paper and a pen.
Anytime anything goes into your dog (food, water, treats) you note down the time, and anytime something "comes out" (regardless if t is an accident or in a "proper" place), you write down the time too.

pup home, make it a point to...(to read more, sign up for our newsletter). |
