TO:     Frustrated Dog Lovers Everywhere

I want to clarify one point right at the outset:

I Am NOT Talking About
Obedience Training!

Obedience training is a good thing--but learning to “sit”, “stay” and “come” won’t EVER solve your dog’s behavior problems.

If you obedience-train a dog that barks, you’ll end up with a dog that sits, stays and--barks. In other words...

You end up with an obedient
dog that still barks!

The methods I reveal in my ebook Dr. Dog’s FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions are not based on some mindless notion or fad. And they’re not just my opinion.

Every one is based on solid animal behavior research ... proven in the field with thousands of dogs.

It really comes down to basic dog psychology ... using the premise that rewards work better than punishment and realizing that dogs don’t understand what the heck you’re talking about when you’re yelling at them for chewing up your slippers.

Yell at your dog and he’ll just look at you with those sad eyes. He might even look remorseful. You think you’ve made your point. But no...

If your dog doesn’t understand what you say, you’re punishing him for being ignorant—not for being bad!

You will learn to “Talk Dog” and really communicate to your dog what you want him to do—and to motivate him so he wants to do it!

So, if you’re just about at wit’s end, friends don’t drop by as often as they used to and the neighbors secretly pray you’d move to the other side of town, there is a solution that’ll make all your worries vanish ... and in just a few days.

Now, with the methods I reveal in my ebook, Dr. Dog’s FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions, you can quickly and easily train your dog to...

• Walk with a loose leash (no more strained arm muscles from Godzilla leaping to take a bite out of that passing Buick)...
• Bark only to warn you and stop when you say “Quiet!” (After a week your overjoyed neighbors might even bake you brownies)...
• Stop chewing up the couch (so you can sit on it, not sink into it)...
• Greet you and visitors without mauling you (no more torn clothing … no more embarrassing claw marks)...
• Eliminate OUTSIDE and in a place you designate (no more daily hunts with the shovel and plastic grocery bag)...

And get this...

You can even train your dog to eliminate ON COMMAND (perfectly humane and a whole lot more convenient for you).

It’s All Fast, Easy and Fun!

After repeated requests from listeners of my weekly radio program and other dog lovers across the globe, I’ve decided to compile all my behavior training “secrets” into an ebook you can instantly download. Start getting positive results today!

I’ve held nothing back in writing Dr. Dog’s FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions. In my jam-packed ebook, you get solid, no-nonsense solutions to every conceivable problem you may face.

Take a look inside my book...

• The four things that dogs need like they need air - absolutely critical before you ever consider anything else about your dog’s behavior… (page 2)
• The best age to bring a dog into your home and the best days of the week to do it... (page 4)
• Why you should never buy your dog from a pet store (sure to rub a few folks the wrong way, but I’m being totally honest here) ... (page 4)
• Special considerations when buying an older dog… (page 3)
• Beware of the fear imprint! (Learn when a dog is most susceptible and how to avoid making a lasting impression you may long regret.) ... (page 4)
• The four best gifts you can give your dog (and a bonus gift you’ll both love!) ... (page 40)
• Exploding the myth that a professional trainer can solve behavior problems (a well-intentioned trainer may even make things worse!) ... (page 7)
• WARNING: Dogs adopt permanent behavior patterns after just one incident. Learn how to avoid the costly mistake of teaching your dog bad behavior without realizing it... (page 5)
• The best behavioral “medicine” you can give your dog. It’s not a drug or even a treat. Learn when and what to do and prepare to be astonished by the results... (page 12)
• Use this amazing little “magic trick” to completely eliminate pulling on lead. You’ll soon have a dog on a slack leash, no matter how fast you walk or which direction you turn ... (page 80, 81)

And another “trick”...

• How to get your dog to believe the couch is punishing him for jumping on it. You’ll never be the bad guy and your dog will stay off the couch even when you’re not home! (page 72, 73)
• Here’s a shocker ... Housetrain your puppy in as little as two or three days. (Eliminate the worry, the hassle and the mess!) ... (page 31)
• Oh, the mistakes we make! How to be sure you don’t reward your dog for jumping or pulling. It’s easy to do but the fix is even easier... (page 69)
• How to select a crate and better still, how to make it your dog’s favorite place to hang out... (page 41)
• The simplest and easiest way to instill proper elimination habits and why paper training is the worst possible choice... (page 25, 26)
• How to use tone of voice to get your message across and why certain words (no matter the tone) may confuse your dog ... (page 10)
• Did you know dogs read body language? You’ll learn how to use proper body language to reinforce your intent and again, avoid confusing your dog... (page 10)
• How to be the boss WITHOUT physical punishment! (Lots of practical, humane ways to show your dog that you’re in charge.) ...(page 11)

Let me pause for just a minute because this is really important…

You will NOT learn how to jerk your dog’s neck with a pinch collar. If anyone has to jerk, choke or beat up a dog to train him, they shouldn’t be allowed near anything with a pulse!

Now back to the list...

• Why dogs eliminate at the most embarrassing times and how to put a quick end to it... (page 27)

• Some incredibly stupid things obedience trainers have been telling dog owners to do and why that’ll lead to more behavior problems down the road... (page 15)

Listen...

I’m just amazed by some of the idiotic methods too many so-called “experts” want to pile at your doorstep. None of that here!

You will NOT…

• Use “clicker training.” Your dog is not a laboratory experiment!
• Squirt your dog with water. How would you like a garden hose in the face?
• Use any harsh methods to control your dog. Train your dog. Don’t attack him!

You WILL …

• Learn to communicate with your dog so he actually understands what you want him to do. (Hey ... dogs are smart. So use my smart strategies. See the jaw dropping difference for yourself!)
• Use gentle methods that truly strengthen the bond of love and respect between you and your dog.
• Enjoy the double takes from your friends and family as they wonder how that troublesome behavior simply vanished.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s more. Much more.

Easier Than You May Think!

Right about now you may be thinking, “Oh my gosh! That‘s an awful lot to learn.” Or maybe this: “My dog is so set in his ways, he’s never going to change.”

Not true ... on both counts.

When you learn my secrets of “talking dog” ... thinking like your dog ... teaching Atilla to behave becomes amazingly quick and easy! And so many dog owners tell me when they do “talk dog”, their dog seems much smarter than they ever thought possible!

In the early morning almost all dogs bark out a short message.
This is a dual purpose message  - it reinforces their territory and warns other dogs off.

Getting a Dog to stop Barking
Other messages are for excitement over food or going for a walk.
They usually bark because they feel neglected or because other dogs nearby are barking.
The main problem is that a barking dog is an annoyance both to  you and your neighbours

One noisy dog in the vicinity usually sets off all other dogs within earshot.

How to Stop Dog Barking
If you dog howls when you are not near then you may have an insecure dog.

Dog Barking Relief

Dogs like this are often left outdoors on their own with little contact with you or with other dogs.
If your Dog is howling or barking when ignored, then separation anxiety is probably the culprit.
Separation anxiety usually starts with insecurities and fear.
Your neighbour may not even know their dog is behaving like this.
The best way to deal with the problem then is to talk to your neighbour about it.
For a few days keep a log of exact times when the neighbour dog starts and ends barking
Show this to your neighbour and they will probably agree that something needs to be done about the proble..
If the problem is with your neighbours dog and they refuse to do anything about the noise then speak to your local dog warden.
You have a Legal right in most countries to peace and quiet and the dog warden has surprisingly stong powers.
This is compounded when the owner has several dogs and they all start to howl

First you must realise that all dogs are pack animals and that you are leader of the pack. If you are absent
 then they feel leaderless. Dogs LIKE being told what to do.

There is not much you can do with a dog that sits and howls at other dogs or your neighbours except to fit an anti-barking device.
(Or keep the dog indoor and fit double glazing !).
A dog like this is just being over-protective of his or her property and the best way to deal with it is to introduce your neighbour as
a FRIEND and ask him or her to come round several times to play with your dog.

Small Dogs can be particularly annoying since they have a tendency to Yap. That is particularly annoying.

Stop Small Dog Barking
That usually has the desired result. This does not work with cats though so I do not recommend it as your dog will end up badly scratched.

Spaniel Puppies

a Good alternative is a sound activated collar that either gives the dog a tiny electric shock but in my view  a kinder alternative is
 to give your dog a collar that work similarly but it emits a puff of Citronella which Dogs hate when the dog barks!
You can also
Teach your dog a simple command (Like QUIET while at the same time covering its muzzle with both hands.)
This very simple system usually works within a couple of days of patient tuition..
ONLY use this method with Your Own Dog !
Here is an excellent book that will help you train a dog to stop barking

Its an EXCELLENT SOLUTION to Barking Relief - it really works !

Slip Collars (Choke Chains)
Perhaps the most common slip type dog training collar, a slip collar is designed to allow the trainer to quickly close and release the collar around a dog’s neck. Dogs learn to not repeat a behaviour when they feel the chain close.

A slip collar for training dogs must be put on a dog properly, with the end coming from the lead around the back of the dog’s neck. This allows the chain to quickly slacken when released. When training, quickly tug then add slack to the lead whenever you need to correct behaviour.

The consequences of not using a slip collar properly can be disastrous. Do not pull too hard on the lead, just enough for your dog to take notice. Also, you should not keep pulling on the lead for an extended period.

Prong Collars (Pinch Collar)
Similar to a slip collar in design, prong collars have prongs on the inside of the collar. When the lead is tugged, the prongs pinch the dog’s neck. Unlike a slip collar, a prong collar has a limit to how much it will close around a dog’s neck.
I consider these to be barbaric and I do not recommend them

Although it is often stated that a prong collar, with a limited circumference and by evenly spreading pressure all around a dog’s neck, is at least as safe as a slip collar, I think this is untrue since it is very easy to damage a dogs neck by misuse of a prong collar.

E-collar (electronic collar)
An e-collar looks similar to a regular dog collar, but it is equipped with an electrical system that can deliver a sensation to the dog. Using a remote control device, a trainer can deliver a small charge through the e-collar whenever behaviour needs to be corrected.

An e-collar is an ideal way to train your dog off-leash. Incorrect behaviour is addressed immediately, so your dog quickly and easily learns the correct action, without needing a lead on which to tug.

In all cases, it is important to only use dog training collars only when training and while you are paying close attention to your dog. Leaving a training collar on when you are not working with your dog could lead to serious accidents. Each time you finish training, remove the training collar from your dog and replace it with the regular collar.
On the whole I suggest that the careful owner could use a slip collar for training dogs as the alternatives can be disastrous if the dog is unattended.
REMEMBER you must NEVER jerk a slip collar when the dog is wearing it.
An e-Collar is preferable and your dog will quiclkly get used to it.
