Learn How Dogs Communicate And Get Your Dog's Behavior Handled" Here's something you might not know about me... I had very disobedient dogs my whole childhood. I remember taking my dog on a walk around and being dragged down the street after cats, neighbors, cars, you name it. I probably weighed 75 pounds back then and was no match for the pulling power of my English Spaniel "FlapJack." I still remember how sore my shoulder would be after the walk and how I could feel blisters forming on my palms from the leash. And worse still, I noticed how some of my neighbors had dogs they could walk without a leash at all! The problem? I hadn't the slightest idea how they did it. I mean clueless. And I'll tell you another thing... it frustrated the heck out of me. So, when I came to the point in my life where I decided that I needed to learn how to get my dog's behavior handled, I started reading everything I could get my hands on. I bought every dog training dvd I could find and asked every dog owner I knew about dog training. I made it a point to try every technique that I learned... in the real world, right here in Salt Lake City, Utah... and I chose the dogs of my family and friends as my "learning tools". I learned a few incredibly valuable lessons. I trained some pretty unhealthy dogs during that period of my life. I trained hyper dogs, I trained fearful dogs, and yes I trained dogs that had bitten people and attacked other dogs. So What Did I Learn About Dog Training? A lot of people ask me to "sum up" what I've learned about dogs and training. They want a "short course" in how to have an obedient dog... and how to do it now. Here are three of the most important "keys" I've learned about dogs and training... summarized for you. When a dog obeys its' owner it isn't a "conscious" process at all, and if you don't understand how it works, you could spend your whole life doing the wrong things and getting bad results. Most of the things that dog owners are doing to "train" dogs are actually working against them. I always shake my head when I think about how I behaved before I understood how a dogs mind worked. Dogs don't read into anything. They take things at face value... they merely react to what is happening around them. When I first started training professionally I knew that dogs basically used a sort of "code" to communicate. But since then it's become very obvious to me that this idea has more significance than I originally thought. I actually believe that most people have the natural ability to communicate with their dogs in a way that makes them want to obey... but the problem is that they've just never "cultivated" that natural ability... and instead culture, their peers, language, and all kinds of other things have hidden and stunted the development of this talent. Of course, the thing I'm most proud of is my In Home Training Program that I am offering. I have gotten many emails from people who are u
