   Hey, I suggest tivo-ing The Dog Whisperer. Look him up on the net, he’s AMAZING with dog behaviors. I watch him every time he comes on…it sounds hokey, but believe me – he works wonders on any kind of behavioral issue you have with your dog. I’ve learned a ton just by watching him work. What kind of problems do you have??

   I have seen people and am constantly helping individuals retrain their dogs after they took it upon themselves to read a training book or get tips off of the internet. Some tips are easy to teach with just words but far too many, need the seasoned eye of the professional trainer to let you know why your dog isn’t responding to your training methods. The body language of the handler is so important to obtaining the attention or your dog and the response that you are seeking. The best tip that I can give you is to find a local training school and sign up for Basic Obedience training. Take a course and learn first hand how difficult it is to assess your own body language.

   Instead of trying to wing it on your own, try looking for a local dog trainer or go to obedience classes. Some are available through 4H groups or animal shelters, some are private people. It would really be easiest that way, and then you’d be much more prepared when you get the next dog. Have fun with your new pup!

   Take your dog to soemone that does “traditional” dog training, and not this new age clicker and treat because you you looked at me cute.

   By traditional I mean a method that is tried and true over several decades.

   Visit the link I have provided, and find out the facts of what I consider “real” dog training, and not the misconceptions.

   You will wind up with a dog who is well adjusted, well trained, and most of all is BONDED TO YOU and not his stomach!

   Best of luck!

   You can train your dog yourself. It’s not hard, if you take the time to study the methods of Dog Training.

   See if you can find the book..Good Dog, Bad Dog, by Mathew Margolis and Eric Seigel..It is an older book, but it has everything you need to teach your dog basic obedience.
   I recommend you learn basic dog training yourself, because you will understand your dog better and be able to reinforce the training as necessary.
