The Truth is, there are only three ways to train any dog:
  1. Using Food – ie. offering food (reward training, bribery, clickers), withholding food (reprimand).  
  2. Fear – ie. scaring the dog with physical or verbal abuse, threatening, hitting with newspaper, throwing objects etc. 
  3. Praise & Respect – ie. desire to please pack leader. It is more desirable way. 

This Method is now being Released on DVD.

A WORD ABOUT DOG BEHAVIOR

    It is very important to understand basic dog behavior before you begin training your dog. Dogs are pack animals by nature. That is, they live in small groups called packs. The pack is organized as a hierarchy. Each member of the pack occupies a specific rank or position within the pack. The pack leader is the top animal in the group. (Hence the phrase "top dog".) The other pack members are subordinate to the pack leader. Pack members obey the pack leader and want to please him as well as avoid displeasing him. Because dogs are domesticated, the dog considers your family to be his pack and you to be the pack leader.

     Now that you know a little about dog behavior, you can probably see that there are only three simple steps to training your dog. First, you must establish your authority over the dog as pack leader. Once you have done this, the dog will be looking for opportunities to please you and he will avoid doing things that do not please you. Second, you must clearly communicate to the dog your pleasure or displeasure with his behavior. And third, you must develop a clear and consistent method of communicating to the dog what behaviors please you and what behaviors do not please you.
 

Many dog trainers use a combination of these techniques to train dogs;  however, the most desirable way to train dogs is through praise and respect.  This is a super simple method that is acheived with the use of

 WHY TRAIN YOUR DOG YOURSELF?

 

     It is always preferable to train your dog yourself rather than sending him off to be trained by someone else for two reasons. The first reason has to do with the matter of establishing authority as pack leader. The second reason has to do with the method of communicating to the dog. What behaviors are acceptable and what behaviors are not.

     First, the person who trains the dog does so by establishing his/her authority over the animal during the training process. The trainer then transfers this authority to you once training is complete. The dog will have developed respect for the handler or trainer, not you! The dog might test you someday and do something you do not want it to do. You might end up at square one with a dog that does not understand what it is you want it to do, or, a dog that gets away without following your commands.

     Second, if you send your dog off to training you have no idea how he is being trained (i.e., you have no idea how the trainer is communicating to your dog what behaviors are acceptable and what behaviors are not acceptable). There are many tactics for dog training which only create other problems. Many trainers bribe a dog by using food to get the dog to follow commands. The problem with using bribery is that the dog is performing for food, not for you! What do you think the dog will do if you give him a command and you do not have any food with you? Why should he obey you then? Other trainers use fear tactics to force the dog to follow commands. You have probably heard of such fear tactics as yelling at the dog, hitting the dog with a newspaper, kneeing it in the chest when it jumps, rubbing its nose in its own waste when it has an "accident" or shaking a can full of rocks at the dog to get the dog to stop undesirable behavior. The problem with these methods is that they leave the dog unclear as to why you are screaming, yelling, hitting, shaking that can, etc. In addition, intimidating the dog will only cause the dog to become fearful and/or mean-spirited.

     

    There are some behaviors which are acceptable under some circumstances and not acceptable under others. For instance, it may be okay with you to have your dog jump up on your lap sometimes. Other times, for example,  when you're eating or when the dog has muddy feet, you are not going to want your dog to jump on your lap. Similarly, there is going to be a time when you do not desire your dog to take something from you, bite on something or chew on something.

Playful Biting

    Playful mouthing and nipping is a natural behavior that develops when a puppy play with others. Because dogs use their mouths to play, they have a strong desire to playful bite. It's ok to playful bite. However, there is going to be a time you do not desire your dog to bite and that’s when you need to know how to communicate.

 

Barking

   Barking is a challenge for many people and their neighbors.   Excessive barking can result in fights with the neighbors, landlords etc., and  may voilate animal  control  ordinances.  It’s normal and ok for dogs to bark from time to time, just as children make noise when they play outside. However, continual barking for long periods of time is a sign that your dog has a problem that needs to be addressed. You will learn quickly how to effectivey ask the dog not to bark with the

Jumping

     Lots of people let their dogs jump on them. Some people say they never desire the dog to jump on them and then they let the dog jump up on their lap to cuddle. It is okay to jump. But there is going to be a time that you do not desire your dog to jump on you (e.g., if the dog had muddy paws). That is when you need to know how to communicate to the dog in a way that he will understand that you do not desire him to jump up on you. If one day the dog jumps up on you and you say, "Hi Buddy!" and the next day he jumps up on you and you say, "Bad Dog!" because the dog had muddy paws, he's going to get confused. He will not understand what is desired of him.  You need to give your dog an opportunity to please you. All your dog wants to know is how to please you.

 

Pulling on the leash

     Pulling or tugging on your dog just gets you into a tug-of-war - not a good idea given that most dogs are strong enough to pull you down the street. Choking your dog just keeps him from breathing. You will learn to train the dog to expect a negative consequence when the dog pulls.

 

Stepping off Boundries

     Dogs are instinctively territorial. As such, dogs pick up on boundaries very readily. You may want to train your dog to stay within certain boundaries. For instance, you may want your dog to stop at the gate or curb. You may want to stop your dog from running out the door when you open it. You may want to train him not to jump out of the car or jump in the car. This is taught on our DVD.


Destructive Behaviors 

     There are some things that you never want your dog to do at any time, for any reason, under any circumstance. For example, you might decide that the dog is never to chew on furniture, books, trash, etc. Or you might decide that the dog is never allowed in the living room or the street. You need to communicate that this behavior is always unacceptable.   If the dog is never allowed to jump on something at any time, for any reason, under any circumstance - such as the countertop, the car, people, etc you will learn how to communicate this with
