By cocking his leg on _your_ sofa? I thought you said you were going to teach him not to do that. Some trainer you are. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >He’ll join me. > You’re going to teach my dog to stop on a dime by cocking your leg on >his sofa? > >Imagine if you could stop your dog on a dime like he’ll stop you just >by > >cocking > >his leg on your sofa.

Hello People, The next time your dog comes over and shoves his mug in your face to give you a great big kiss, ask your self this. Do dogs have germs we can catch? Do we have germs we can give our dogs? If we have a cold or somethin we certainly wouldn’t want to increase their exposure any more than necessary, would we. Dogs think in more general terms than people do. Perhaps that’s why we fail so often in trying to correct behaviors and mistakes when we focus directly on the behavior in question, thus calling the dog’s attention to his ability to command you and stop you dead in your tracks to pay him 100% of your undivided attention. Imagine if you could stop your dog on a dime like he’ll stop you just by cocking his leg on your sofa. That level of non physical control is what I teach, without fear, force, corrections, or confrontation. Praise in advance and constantly. Got it? Dogs generalize ideas rather quickly on their own and often from just one meaningful experience, like the dog spooked by the trashmen and hence is forever afraid of men everywhere. That’s diametrically opposed to the commonly accepted understanding that trained behaviors are difficult for the dog to generalize. And I agree with that POV as well. The ways dogs think and learn and HOWE to generalize behaviors quickly are clearly defined in your FREE copy of my FREE Wits’ End Dog Training Method manual. O.K. Whether you’re able to fathom these ideas or not changes nothing. My methods do not require extreme adjustments and in depth mystical knowledge of dog behavior or consideration of individual breeds of dogs or behaviors. Everything is just a little bigger or smaller sandbox, like in the Chihuahua post sharing the kitty box without eating the poo is no different that going outside in the yard and not eating the poo. Just a bigger or smaller sandbox in the dog’s mind. The method for training the dog not to eat poo is the same for a Chi in a kat box as it is for a Dane in a 20’sq backyard. That’s why my FREE Wits’ End Dog Training Methods work so universally well because it’s an exact method The individual differences and past histories matter little more than as curiousities. That’s why I’m such a stickler for doing everything exactly according to the philosophy and methods because they were designed for problem dogs that were too big and too dangerous to try to force, many of them having had a couple or moore force trainers prior to finding me. Confinement to crates increases anxiety in the vast majority of untrained dogs. Throwing a dog in a box and locking the door is ostracism. Then you let the pup cry and whine and not take him out till he’s quiet. Then when he comes out of his den wonder of wonders, he craps on his turff, your living room floor. So you tell him NO, calling Mother Nature a liar…starting confusion and mistrust from day one. Crate "training" before the dog is trained is an obstacle and is CONTRAWISE to everything taught in my FREE Wits’ End Dog Training Method philosophy. Safety for the handler, the family, and the dog are equal considerations. Getting 100% strict control and exact obedience is part of the big picture. Dogs think  instinctively and reflexively in terms of the big picture. That’s why we have difficulty training specific behaviors, because the dog cannot see from so close to the problem, they have a wider scope and specifics often appear blurred. That’s why I try to get my dogs to a peak level of curiousity and excitement. The level of excitement that causes dogs to go out of control can be harnessed to keep the dog in control. A high state of excitement assists learning and memory recall, like driving in low gear. That’s why distractions are often an asset according the the manual. That’s why traditional trainers talk about precise timing, especially our shock collar freaks. That’s why our "experts" tell you they need to see behaviors and you need to be shown HOWE to give an effectively timed correction. Think about that from the big picture the dog thinks in. Here’s the scenario. You’ve been training your dog to walk on leash and he’s been accidentally mishandled and has accidentally hit the end of the lead and jerked himself a couple times. Then you go to take him out again and you show him his lead and he gets all excited. Over exitement at seeing their lead coming in the majority of dogs indicates stress, not anticpation of a great experience. Our "experts" brag proudly at the show of anticipation their dogs display when their training gear comes out. In reality they’re beggin not to be hurt somemoore. O.K., so here you are now, about face to face with your dog as you lean over him attaching his lead to the collar for a nice walk unintentionally reminding the dog of his prior unintentional corrections, and he reflexively "flashes" on that painful experience and snaps back at you without even thinking (dogs are reflexive, that’s HOWE they can snap a fly out of the air), for restimulating feelings of a prior painful experience. And he accidentally rips your face off. Now think about maybe having a history of intentionally physically or emotionally correcting, repressing, dominating, and confining the dog? That’s why force trainers have the anticipated "adolescent rebellious stage." My FREE Wits’ End Dog Training Method students do not have that problem, as we use NO FORCE therefore there is nothing to rebell about. There’s no "authority" figure to challenge, because my students do not compete with the dog on an "alpha" level. That’s what causes dogs to act like wild pack animals. Hey, anybody got milk? j;~}
