Do you have a dog or puppy that is out of control? Do you feel like your living in an expensive dog house under your dogs rule? Well you are not alone, thousands of new puppy and dog owners experience this every year. I should know because I was once one of them. There was a time when I had just about given up on ever being able to potty train my puppy. I had tried a number of different training techniques that my friends, and family recommended, but none of their tips produced any satisfactory results. In fact looking back at the situation now, I think that following their advice only served to make things worse.
I had reached a point where I was ready to pull out my hair, and scream blood murder, because my cute, little, furry four legged friend seem to be untrainable.
What was I to do? I wanted to yell at him every time I caught him reliving himself somewhere, or on something that he shouldn’t be reliving himself on, but I just couldn’t bring myself to yell at him. After all he was only doing what came natural to him, and in all reality I knew that I was really the one to blame. Its not that I didn’t try to step up to the plate, and assert myself as his leader because I did. I just went about it the wrong way. Its too bad that God doesn’t issue training manuals to new puppy owners, because most of us end up learning the hard way when it comes to training them.
Then I discovered a dog training book named SitStayFetch, that my veterinarian recommended to me. This book turned my life around! Once I read the book I immediately started to apply the house training techniques that were given in the book, and before I knew my puppy was housebroken. Not only was this a huge accomplishment for me, it also marked a major milestone in my relationship with my puppy.
Since then I have used SitStayFetch to deal with obsessive barking, separation anxiety, and I have taught him to respond to several basic commands. SitStayFetch is jam-packed with useful and practical information that is easy to understand, and apply. The information and techniques that are taught in this book apply to dogs of all breeds, and ages. I highly recommend this book to any dog owner that is serious about training their puppy or dog!
