Robin-
Thank you so much for all the work you've done in helping us train our German
Shepherd Anna. She's full of energy, we really had our hands full with
her, and we were worried that she might not work out with us. After 3
weeks in working with you though, she has made so much progress. We are
very happy! Your training program has helped her understand what we expect
of her, and she's getting along very well. There is still work to be done,
but you have definitely got things going in the right direction! I think
the two of us have learned almost as much as Anna has! It was definitely worth
it. Thank you!

Robin,
Thank you for
the wonderful training experience. The outcome was more than I had hoped
for and Gunner is a joy to be around since going through the classes.
While he still has his “puppy” moments, it is wonderful to be able to calm
him down with the simple commands he and I have learned. Everyone has
commented that “he is a joy” to be
around and is much calmer in general. I’ll
never forget his place command under the yellow slickers at Petco.
I would highly recommend
you to anyone that wants a calmer, happier dog in their family and I look
forward to participating in some of the group classes coming up.
Again,
thank you for working with us.

Housetraining
The key to training your dog to eliminate outside (where you want him to) is
to prevent accidents, and to reward success. Adult dogs have better bladder
and bowel control, and can "hold it" for a longer period of time
than puppies. The rule of thumb with puppies is to take their age in months,
add one, and that's the number of hours the puppy can "hold it"
during the day, (i.e. A 4 month old puppy can be expected to be clean for up
to 5 hours during the day).
- Feed your dog on a schedule (he'll eliminate on a schedule, too).
- Keep his diet simple and consistent (avoid table scraps and canned
foods; a high quality dry kibble produces the least waste).
- Stay away from foods that have yellow corn as this is used as a filler
and will produce more waste.
- Choose an area, about ten square feet, outside, where you wish your
dog to potty.
- Take your dog on leash to the area, pace back and forth (movement
promotes movement) and chant an encouraging phrase ("do your
business, do your business ") or whatever you would like to use as
a command to eliminate.
- Do this for maximum 3 minutes:
- if he eliminates, huge praise and play.
- if he doesn't eliminate, keep him on leash, go back indoors, keep
dog on leash with you or confined in a crate.
- Try again in an hour; eventually your dog will eliminate appropriately
and
- You can give huge praise and play.
- After each success, allow 15 minutes of freedom in house, before
placing dog back on lead or back into crate.
- After each 3 consecutive days of success, increase freedom by 15
minutes.
- If there is an accident; decrease freedom by 15 minutes for 3
days.
REMEMBER! DO NOT PUNISH ACCIDENTS!
REWARD SUCCESS!
