Introduction
More dogs are euthanized for behavior problems
than for any other reason. In almost all of these dogs, early,
correct, and persistent training techniques will reverse this dismal
statistic.
This section contains information about a variety
of canine training techniques and behavior modification programs that
will help you teach your dog basic manners that s/he needs to live in
human society.
Learn how to solve common behavior problems like
house training, puppy mouthing and biting, adolescent
destructiveness, teaching Fido to come when called, and preventing
aggression. The information you find here is based on contemporary
humane training techniques that are fun for both you and your
dog(s).
Now that you have that cute puppy in your family
how are you going to mold him or her into a productive member of our
society? If you don't have an organized approach, with time set aside
to enforce your training, that adorable little thing will soon become
a monster that controls your life.
What your pup learns (and fears) during its first
4 months will be carried in its memory for the rest of his/her life.
Therefore, it is imperative that you set aside the time and patience
to turn these first 4 months into a positive experience for both of
you.
In all honesty, few of us know enough about dog
behavior to properly train a pup. Never fear, we are here to help
you. We have enlisted the aid of Terry Long, a dog trainer par
excellence. With her guidance you will soon know exactly how to
approach the training of your pup.
We have complete information on what to do when
you first get that pup home and until your pup is 4 months old. This
is probably the most important time in your pups life, since it is
during this time that your puppy will learn the behaviors it will
carry into adulthood. We have 6 sections to cover, so grab those
valium and lets get started.
