Dog Training Doesn't Have to be Hard

thom2009

It's simply about pack leadership, exercise and firm rules.

I am a professional dog trainer and a member of the Humane Society of the United States, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, International Association of Canine Professionals and involved with hundreds of animal shelters across the US.

I just wanted to mention something about dog behavior and training. Many owners are getting increasingly frustrated with their pet's behavior and it's resulting in an increase in shelter dogs. After understanding that I cannot help everyone, I've spent my time on forums like this trying to help out as much as I can in addition to an overloaded client schedule.

I want to make people aware of a site that I put together to help owners train their dogs. I've compiled hundreds of articles about training and behavior for people to use. They are all free and available on the left side of the page at www.virtualdogtrainer.com.

In addition, I've put together my own personal dog training program so owners can learn how to train their dogs themselves. It's called Perfect Dog Training Course and I put a tremendous amount of time and energy into it simply out of my love of dogs. Some proceeds go to various charities and foundations to help homeless dogs. In addition, for members of the course I make myself available for the life of the dog. Personal consultation well after the program is over. And obviously, I give anyone thier money back if they don't see results, no questions asked and without a time limit.

This is not meant to be a plug, but to help owners stop unwanted behavior in a positive way without bullying or intimidation. There is a ton of information that can really help what seem to be large problems but require such simply solutions.

I will continue to post here but from what I've read over the last 6 months, these issues are pack leadership issues. Owners need to understand how to understand their dog's behavior.

So enjoy all the articles on the site at www.virtualdogtrainer.com. They cover everything from pack leadership (the most important aspect of training) to chewing, excessive licking, ect. Remember to stay calm but firm in your training.

Thank you!
