Learn From My Mistakes and Train Your Dog Right!
Just picture this for a moment: You have a guest come to the door and your dog sits quietly rather than mauling the visitor.
Or imagine calling your dog and he/she comes directly in front of you and sits, looks up with the most loving look as if to say, "I love you, what can I do for you?"....yes, I said sit and pay attention to YOU!
I have made many mistakes over the years with training my dogs and finally got it "right" with my "youngest" and want to provide hope that everyone can have a well behaved dog. It doesn't matter what type of problem you may have, you CAN learn how to work with your dog and have fun instead of frustration!
Put This Reminder On Your Fridge
Practice obedience and/or tricks EVERY DAY for a few minutes each day. Provide rewards for good behavior from your Dog
For example sitting nicely for meals, getting their leash before a walk or for coming to you.

How To Bond With Your Dog
Building a bond with your dog is the first and the most crucial step involved in training him successfully. As soon as you bring your dog home, you must first try to develop a caring and loving relationship with him in order to win his trust and confidence.
When Dogs are secure in the knowledge that they belong to the family, they are more likely to respond better to their owners' training commands. Just like with any relationship, there must be mutual trust and respect between you and your dog.
Trust takes time to develop and respect comes from defining boundaries and treating any breach of those boundaries with firmness and fairness.
Without enforceable limitations, respect cannot be developed. And when there is no respect, building a bond with your dog is almost impossible.
4 Golden Rules To Building A Relationship With Your Dog :
- Spend quality time together;
- Take him out in the world and experience life together;
- Establish and promote a level of mutual respect; and
- Develop a way of communicating to understand each other's needs.
Building a bond with your dog will not only help you manage him better but will also make your dog calm, quiet and an extremely well-adjusted pet.
