I love getting emails like this one:Aloha Eric!!I am so excited I just had to write you and tell you about it! You see, my dog Oliver has never really been leash trained, nor do I ever let him run free, because he does NOT come when called...Lately I have been trying to rectify that problem through training..I have read about several methods on the internet, and even tried some of "the dog whisperers" tips - all of which have failed miserably...Oliver not only didnt get it, it was causing tension between us, he was starting to listen to me even less than before! Today I came accross your website, I skimmed through some of your articles, and watched your video advice. After watching them, I got...

MANAGING THE MUD So you are ready to
MANAGING THE MUD So you are ready to go back inside, but you arent ready to mop the floors? What do you do if your dog has managed to get covered in mud? Even if it is just the paws, tracking mud into the house can make for a major cleaning project. Here is how to manage the mud tracking: Get doormats for each doorway to the outside. Make sure they look similar to one another. These mats will serve as a visual barrier to entry for your dog that, with your help and training, can show the dog just where to wait before coming inside. Pair each doormat with a towel for wiping down paws. Practice makes perfect. Make sure to gear up your daily practice of obedience training so that you can train your...
Russian Special Forces And Dog Training
I wondered if this guy had ever killed someone?I mean I was only about four feet away from him and couldnt help but think that as I sat there. After all, he did call himself "The Evil Russian."Pavel Tsatsouline was an instructor for the Russian Special Forces Spetsnaz, that fought in Afghanistan and I was in the front row listening to him discuss strenght and flexibility training.I heard that he was going to be speaking in Providence, RI. I had been told that he was a great speaker and did not want to miss the chance to see him. As a guy that makes a big part of his living by standing in front of people and speaking, I always jump at any chance to see a pro.Anyway, he turned out to be everything...
What kind of punishment and when
Some mild punishment (that does not involve any harm done to the dog mentally or physically) is in some cases recommended. It is very important to choose the right timing. This means that you can raise the tone of your voice say NO and maybe also move your finger in a strict way, or take away her favorite toy when you catch her doing something wrong. The same actions would not be effective if they take effect after the wrong has been done without you being present and the punishment takes place on the wrong timing....

INTRODUCTION TO HOUSEBREAKING Dogs are descendants of wild
INTRODUCTION TO HOUSEBREAKING Dogs are descendants of wild wolves, and although they are now domesticated, dogs and wolves still share many basic instincts. As young pups, both wild and domestic dogs are instinctively clean. Even in the wild, wolves are very reluctant to relieve themselves in or near their den. THE DEN: Wild and domestic dogs will typically establish a den. A den is a small area, normally with one opening, in which they feel safe and secure. Dogs spend lots of time in their dens: they will eat, sleep, play and whelp their puppies in there. Thus, a healthy dog will not relieve himself in his den. SCHEDULE: Your training instructor will custom design a feeding schedule for your...
Does My Dog Smell Bad
A few months ago I met with a nice couple to help them with their dog. A few minutes into the conversation the wife asked me, "Does my dog smell bad?"I was amazed that she asked me that question. When I walked into the house I noticed that the dog not only had a bad odor but looked awful. The dog was a golden mix of some kind and looked to be about 10 years old.His coat was a mess, he had black gunk pouring out of his eyes and was grey all around his muzzle. I felt really bad for the old guy. Come to find out he was only about four years old. They called me because they were having a house training problem. My first question was simple. In fact, I knew the answer before they even told me.I asked...

Video Newsletter The Truth About Your Dog’s Body Language
Well the big day is rapidly approaching. I never knew how much work went into getting married, if I did I might have stayed single - just kidding! I am extremely lucky and blessed to have found someone as wonderful as Rachael. As a guy that went 40 years without getting married, I didnt think it would ever happen.The funny thing about being in a relationship is how much you learn about the other person. Without her saying a word, I can tell if she is upset, mad, worried etc. and she can do the same with me.Its funny how non-verbal communication happens with our loved ones. As I was hinking about all of this I realized how much non-verbal communication goes on with our dogs.Your dog is always...

Eddies Wheels
"Tasha may have a spinal injury.""Not good," I said.Jodi was telling me that her little dachshund, Tasha, may have injured her back jumping off the stairs.Dachshunds are prone to get back injuries, their long bodies are more susceptible to back problems than other dogs.It was ironic that Jodi told me this about her dog. The night before I had met the owner of Eddies Wheels. Eddies Wheels is a wonderful business that provides wheelchairs for dogs that have been injured and cant use their back legs (or front legs).Eddies Wheels was started in the basement of Leslie and Eds house in Shelburne Falls, MA. Within a short period of time, the demand for the carts grew and they now send carts all over...
Advanced Dog Training Goals It Pays to Think and Plan Ahead
Once your young dog has learned the basics of how to behave in a socially acceptable manner, its time to move on to more advanced training. Just what you will teach your dog, and how far you will take its training, depends on several considerations. First of all, what do you expect? Have you a special role in mind for the dog? Or do you just want it to learn some more advanced obedience skills? Much depends on your goals in owning your dog, and what if anything you expect it will contribute to your work or your hobbies: a guide dog, rescue dog, herding dog, gun dog, guard dog, whatever.If you have specific plans, your training objectives and program will follow logically. The breed of your dog...

Helping a child get over a dog bite
Helping a child get over a dog biteAs a child, Ranjan Avasthi was once bitten by the familys German shepherd.

Avasthi, now a doctor, has a wife, child and his very own German shepherd mix.

Importance of appraisal rewarding Part II
It is also important to make your dog desire to execute a specific command. If for example you administer a physical correction during the acquisition phase of a particular command, it may decrease the dog’s desire to perform the command at all. That is why it is usually recommended to avoid physical corrections until your dog clearly understands and obeys to your commands. Example:If you are trying to teach your dog the command “down” and what you do is pull her with the leash or you push her down with your hand, it is likely that the dog will react by moving away from your hand or resisting from being pushed. A good alternative would be to use a cookie or any food treat to lure her and increase...

First Do No Harm
I was consulted recently to help a family with a small breed dog who had bitten a pet sitter. The bite had barely broken the skin. The family was concerned about the dogs behavior and whether or not it would escalate to more biting and more serious biting in the future.We are right to be concerned about dogs who bite -- a bite is a "red flag" that the dog is experiencing some sort of stress and seeks to resolve it through biting. It is important to realize one thing...All dogs bite. All dogs can bite. If you poke, prod, chase, tease, hurt or stress any dog intensely enough it will bite you - all sentient beings have the potential to show aggression, the thresholds...

Tough Week Training Dogs
This was a rough week training dogs for your friend The Amazing Dog Training Man. This past week I was called a blankhole not once but twice. Now for those of you that know me, you know that I am a very non-confrontational, laid back, easy to get along with type of guy. But I did rub a couple of people the wrong way this week.Let me tell you about one of the instances. The local humane society asked me to take a look at a dog that they adopted out. The dog was having two problems: dog to dog aggression and housetraining.No problem, I drove out to the house to evaluate the dog. The owner informed me that his dog wanted to kill other dogs and was urinating on his carpet. I had to wait around for...
