Barking Dogs and Other “Stuff”!

Posted Jul. 25, 2008 | By Doug Poynter

Hey, when you know how a dog learns and can begin to use that to not only teach your dog “stuff” but also solve behavior problems, then you’re doing something my friend!

If you remember that dogs are the ultimate “learn fast, real fast how to get what I want” machines then you can use that to teach and solve.

Rewards are the key. Obedience skills and behavior problems alike are learned, very quickly with rewards. Once you start to think that way then working with your dog becomes MUCH easier…and solving problems becomes much easier too!

Not too long ago I surveyed my focus group and they said the number one problem they were having with their dogs was problem barking. So I created a PDF to address that. You can get that PDF right here:

Stop the barking dog

There’s all kinds of cool info in there about how to stop problem barking.

As always,

Train On!

"Doug is our trainer at Friends United with the Richmond Shelter. We have access to many trainers in our area and we want only Doug to work with our dogs! His method is unique and is so amazing! Doug is without a doubt the only trainer that I know of who can routinely solve the most difficult of behavior problems with telephone consultations! I've been amazed at the dogs he's saved consulting with our clients over the phone. Whether working with clients in person, on the phone or through his written training material, I strongly recommend that you work with Doug!"
