Happy Holidays!

In Part 2 of John’s Story, we discuss:

  • The biggest challenge John faces as a dog trainer (Hint: we walk on 2 legs);
  • Divorce and dating with dogs;
  • Some of John’s dog training philosophy;
  • What to do if you need help with your dog’s behavior; and
  • How to select a dog trainer and red flags to look out for.

    • Takeaway Training Tips:

    • #1 Most Important Thing when training your dog = consistency;
  • If you want to improve your dog’s behavior, you have to do the work;
  • Sometimes you have to choose your battles;
  • Take responsibility for the energy you bring to working with your dog. If you are frustrated, your dog knows that.;
  • Learn your dog’s body language;
  • 3 dog trainer “red flag” words: fix, guarantee, perfect;
  • When deciding on a dog to join your family, be honest with yourself about your lifestyle. If you are a couch potato, then a purebred herding dog may not be the best choice for you.
