What our clients are saying!

 "I rate your training program A+.  I recommend your training method for anyone who has a stubborn, hard-to-train dog.  With your guidance, I learned how to train Bruno the right way".

"You truly are the dog whisperer of Jones County".

Diane Hingst 

 

"I put her through three obedience training classes and although there was significant improvement I was still not quite satisfied with certain areas of her behavior.  Once Nala started training with your method she improved dramatically.  She minds me much better now and is not as fearful towards strangers".

 

  "It's much easier to have people come to the door now without being bombarded by a couple of Border Collies.  Thanks Robin, you did a fantastic job training us so we could better train our dogs."  

 Kristine, Deb and Scott

 

  "We were struggling with Milly's jumping and barking.  After Robin's first session in our home, Milly stayed off furniture and was quiet on command".

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!
