Dog Training Tips...

            "How I Trained My DogIn One Evening..."           By: Ellen Langton   My husband Don didn't want me to write this.   He begged me not to let his secret out. He said it would ruin his reputation.   You see, Don thinks he's the world's greatest dog trainer.   Whenever people tell us how well behaved our dog Misty is, Don likes to brag that it's all because of him.   But Don isn't a dog expert. Not even close. He's a retired plumber.     Don and Ellen Langtonwith their dog Misty           In Fact, Just A Few Weeks Ago He WantedTo Take Misty Back To The Animal Shelter             That’s what it had come to. Sure everything started out great - she was really a lot of fun when we first got her. But all that came to an end when she started peeing on our bed.   And when I let her out to go potty at night, she’d just bolt off into the darkness. Then I had to stand in the cold yelling for her, embarrassed that our neighbors might be listening to me.   I think Don complained about the barking more than anything – he said it was worse than a baby crying. If someone jogged past the house, Misty barked. When cars drove by, she barked. And for no reason at all, she’d bark even more.           But Then Our Vet Shared Something With Us That Changed Misty's Behavior Overnight...             You see, during our last visit I told him about all the problems Misty was causing and asked if he knew of anything we could do. Of all things, he recommended a book.   What’s more, he promised it would turn Misty’s behavior completely around in just a few days.   Honestly, I didn’t believe him. After all, Don and I already read several obedience books…and they were good…but they just didn’t work for Misty.     But He Insisted I Give This One A Try...     He told me to pick just one secret from this book and see what happened. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I tried one on page 16 (it was all about how to get your dog to come when it’s called).   I started using it at home that evening – and frankly, I wasn’t too sure if it would work at first. But by early the next afternoon, I had Misty immediately running to me each time I called her. It was quite an amazing feeling.   Don got so excited that he turned straight to the chapter on how to stop your dog from barking. There, on page 31, he discovered the answer to Misty’s problem.   Now to be honest, the tip Don used didn’t exactly work overnight – it took about a day and a half. But still, we haven’t had a single problem with Misty’s barking since.   And The Best Part Is, This Book Is Loaded With 78 Other Dog Training Secrets That Work Just As Fast!     They were all put together by a panel of dog experts with over 80 years of experience between them. Obedience trainers, show dog trainers, breeders, veterinary technicians…even the folks who train those police K-9 dogs.   I’m told that many of the secrets in this book have never been revealed to regular dog owners before. That they were part of the “private bag of tricks” used by these pros.   For example, on page 24, they tell you what you can do in one night that practically guarantees your dog will never run out of the yard again (and amazingly, it has absolutely nothing to do with chains or fences).   They also reveal secrets like: The nifty little trick police officers use to always make sure their dogs come when they’re called…and how it can work like magic for your dog too How to stop your dog from digging holes all over your yard…page 37 The exact number of toys your dog should have…and why making this simple change can trigger a huge difference in your dogs behavior If you have a dog that bites, here’s the one game you should never play with them…page 52 How to make all your trips to the vet stress-free (these 2 simple tricks are lifesavers for anyone with a shy or nervous dog) Why feeding your dog this certain food can cause digging problems…page 38 Imagine your dog coming up and “telling” you when he has to go potty…it’s for real and here’s how to do it - see page 14 They Have Tips For Almost Every Type Of Dog Problem You Can Think Of In This Book...     Barking, biting, chewing, running away, pulling on leashes, potty training – you name it and it’s in there.   But what I really liked is how these experts list so many different tips for each specific problem. That way you’re not stuck
