Things Dogs Do That Drive Us Nuts!

• Jumping up on friends and family
• Barking and "going crazy" at the sound of a knock on the door
• Pulling like a sled dog when we go for a walk
• Dashing out the front door every time someone opens it
  
  

These are just a few of the things dogs do because they are dogs. If we haven't taught them what we want them to do, it's quite natural for them to jump, get excited, pull or dash out to explore.

Positive Solutions!

• Teach the dog to sit when approached by a person
• Teach the dog to run to a dog bed, lie down and wait calmly to be released to  possibly greet the visitor
• Teach the dog to walk near your side with a slack leash using permission to have a good sniff as the reward
• Teach the dog to run to a mat or dog bed on cue and wait for release

Your Dog's Personal Trainer will teach you and your dog the skills needed to solve any of the ordinary "behavior problems" that keep you from enjoying time spent with your dog.
