How to call your dog

You may not believe this but...

You should NEVER use the recall word ("COME", or whatever word you choose) to call your dog to discipline him
,
correct him, tell him what a bad dog he is, or for any negative reason. Bad deeds MUST be caught IN THE ACT in order to correct. If you still need your dog by you for a negative reason, give him a firm SIT command and go get him.

For example:
Imagine this, you see your dog "Major" outside digging up your newly planted daisies.
You first quietly say "Major, Come here". Major, doesn’t respond. You then yell "MAJOR - COME HERE!". Major still doesn’t come, so you go over and grab him by the collar and yell "I told you to Come Here!" and give him a smack.

Major, being a smart dog, makes a mental note "Come Here" means "You’re in trouble and about to get punished".

Next time when he is outside, and you want him to come inside for dinner you go out and say to him "Come here", he responds by running away. "Dumb dog" you think and go and grab him and drag him inside so he’ll eat his food. Then you say sternly "How come you don’t ever COME when I call you?!" Major makes another mental note (Hmmm: seems to me my memory of "COME HERE" is still accurate – don’t want to respond to that – after all, "COME HERE" means I am in BIG TROUBLE!)

Remember, dogs know ONLY "dog language" when they come to live with us. WE must teach them our language. In the above examples, Major did not learn OUR translation for the word "COME". He learned "COME" meant "angry owner – I’m in trouble now. Better scram out of here!" We want Major to learn that "COME" means "Get your buns to me in the fastest way possible – NO EXCEPTIONS!" Major needs to understand that COME means GOOD stuff – ALWAYS!

My dog training tips

I had my first pet earlier in 1985 - a puppy. It was really not intentional as my dad and mom were against the idea of care a puppy because there was just a lot of responsibility involved. Though, it was a case of bullying that got me my first puppy. Okay, somehow my brother's dog didn't like his son and insisted on biting him and the little puppy was only 3 weeks old. Not wanting the poor puppy growing up right into a depressed and unhappy dog, he came under my care and which was how I had to begin with my search for puppies training tips as I didn't want my parents to throw the puppy out for messing up our house!

Back then internet was still not popular so my knowledge had to return from books and books on puppies training were rather expensive. If the web was as easily accessible then, I may not have to burn a hole in my pockets! Recently, I had to help a friend to try to find an excellent puppies training manual which can be both informative and cheap and I happened to chance upon an online book - "Secrets To Dog Training".

What is "Secrets To Dog Training" all about?
If you have just bought or adopted a puppy or even a dog, you should have to coach it so that it'll listen to your instructions and never smash your house. You'll need a training manual that gives reliable content and workable methods for training your new pet. Upon comparison with the numerous puppies training books that I've read, I must say that the content covered with this book is extremely useful and simple to comprehend. The important point to notice is that it is written by seasoned professional dog trainer having many years of experience in dog training so his advice and tips are not based on theories only but are tried and proven to be effective.

"Secrets to dog training" is definitely an ebook you can easily download from the internet immediately after you've made payment. What makes this manual effective and simple to work with is that you will also get a 30 minutes video recording which helps you to easily learn the remedies towards the common doggy misbehaviour that you'd want to correct in your own puppy or older dog. Actually, the video recordings give such clear demonstrations that you can be off to try them out on your own puppies instantly!

I was expecting this ebook to only discuss puppies training but how wrong I was. Tons of information is given in this ebook for example:
• How to pick out a suitable puppy?
• Where is the very best place to get your new puppy?
• What important information you need to know about the breed of your puppy?
• How do you ensure that your home is safe for your new puppy/dog?
• How often should you bring your puppy to the vet?
• How do you correct the behavioral problems in your puppy?
• How can you prevent separation anxiety?
• How do you know if your puppy is sick?

Would I recommend this product?
The answer is a resounding 'Yes!" because it is definitely a worthwhile investment. I thought I know everything about puppies training since I've started keeping dogs since I was a teenager but this book puts me to shame! I have read a lot of books on puppies training but nothing comes close to "Secrets to dog training". I was most impressed by the section on dog whispering which teaches you how to train your puppies or dogs through communication and mutual respect instead of punishments. There are even step-by-step instructions for you to easily follow and apply immediately.

At such a low and affordable price, you not only get tons of puppies training tips and information, a step-by-step dog training manual, a video clip of practical solutions and even 4 bonus informative ebooks! Wow! A lot of times you get free bonuses that are basically useless but with this purchase, you get bonuses that you can use on your puppy such as how to groom your dog, how to resolve canine aggression problems, how to train your dog to keep your house safe, etc.

You can really solve a lot of your doggy problems when you purchase "Secrets to dog training" because you are even receive free consultations from a member of the Kingdom of Pets team by simply sending them an email with your queries! It is the first time I come across a company that caters to its customers needs even after the purchase has been made.More information on "Secrets to dog training" can be found here
