You thought owning a dog would be magical. And it is… for the most part.
There are so many precious moments together – playing in the yard, snuggling up on the sofa or taking a walk around the neighborhood. And you just melt every time you look into those adorable eyes right?
But as they grow older their behavior can often change for the worse…
Has your dog or puppy ever…
They’re nipping at other dogs (or even worse, people), pulling on the lead or barking every hour of the day (and night!).
It’s so embarrassing when you have to keep pulling them away. Your guests say ‘don’t worry, it’s fine’ but you feel mortified anyway.
When you’re in a busy and noisy environment they completely ignore your recall, which is incredibly frustrating and ends up causing problems for other dogs and people.
If you’ve used other training methods without seeing the results you were looking for then you know how frustrating it can be. Whether you’ve tried listening to recommendations from a friend or spent hours trawling through the Googles, every training method seems to be too hard to implement, you don’t have enough time, or they just do not work.
...There’s the clicker method, which doesn’t apply to many common situations (plus it’s unbelievably annoying!)
...There’s the bribing with food method, which isn’t sustainable (unless you want a huge food bill, tired arms from carrying around a bag of treats for the rest of your life and an overweight, unhealthy pooch who’s obsessed with the snack draw.)
...There’s the games method, which takes up way too much time to actually be followed properly (and there are about a billion other ways you’d rather spend your time, right?!)
...There’s even the crank method, but honestly who wants to bully their dog into submission with brute force!? (That’s a ‘hell no’ from me, btw.)
...You may have even had a trainer come to visit you and you’re still not seeing results (ugh, so frustrating).
Every single one of the above methods is flawed… because they focus on the wrong thing!
They don’t realize that a training program can only be effective if it’s based on the psychological triggers and behaviors that ALL dogs understand (and very few humans do, without proper training).
Other training methods focus on the symptoms of your dog’s negative behavior…
But when you make one small switch and follow what we teach instead… wow, will you see changes fast…
…And you’ll start to wonder where we’ve been all your life!
