Phone Calls about Dog Training and Behavior

I get several phone calls with potential clients asking me various questions on numerous subjects regarding their dogs. Some of the questions are: "My dog is doing X. Can you make him stop?" Others are: "My dog is doing X. Can you help me?"

Unfortunately, I can't do a lot for the first group. Dog training is a collaborative effort among the three of us -- you, your dog, and me. When you see how much your behavior impacts your dog's behavior, magic happens and you dog's behavior changes!

One of my favorite "dog training" shows is Super Nanny -- which is *not* a dog training show at all. In case you aren't familiar with the show, people ask for Super Nanny's help because their children are out of control -- they bite, they kick, they scream, they swear, they write on the walls, they have temper tantrums, they destroy things when they don't get their way.

Jo comes in and works with -- the parents!!! She rarely works with the children. She helps the parents set rules, boundaries, and consequences that *the children* understand. And magic does happen.

The key is helping children -- and dogs -- understand what is expected of them in a way that makes sense to them -- not in a way that makes sense to you, but in a way that makes sense to them. That's part of what we teach in Doggie Manners. Please call us toll free to find out more. 1-877-7-DOGGIE. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
