It’s not the solution.You have to do the work yourself, with the help of a coach.The Myths: Puppies only need affection and playTeaching your puppy the command “no” will solve everythingPunishing the puppy by yelling or using force is importantPurchase "The Business of Dog Training" on Amazon RESOURCES: Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.com Sponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.com Dale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan Top Gun Dog Training in Huntsville, Alabama.

    Does Your Dog Trust You?

    Being an effective leader and building trust in your dog requires a skill set grounded in effective communication, temperament, and focus.  What to do: Make sure your communication is crystal clear. Trim the fat. Tell the dog what you want and reward them for doing it.Set your dog up for success. Make it impossible for them to fail and let them have fun in the process.Stay focused on “teaching” the dog what you want them to learn.What not to do: DO NOT talk to them so much, especially with repeated commands, where they check outDO NOT yell at your dog.DO NOT show frustration and lack of leadership skills.DO NOT use physical force with your dog. DO NOT over-correct your dog. The focus should not be on stopping a behavior, but teaching an alternative behavior. Purchase "The Business of Dog Training" on Amazon RESOURCES: Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.com Sponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.com Dale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan Top Gun Dog Training in Huntsville, Alabama.

    Building Structure in Your Puppy’s Routine

    Building structure for your puppy in one of the best things you can do to help raise a happy, healthy, and obedient puppy.  In this episode of Puppy Talk I discuss the why and how of puppy structure.  Why? Structure creates calmness in the puppy.Structure creates an opportunity for the puppy to succeed, not failStructure helps you, the puppy owner, have more control over the puppy’s behavior, obedience, and discipline.How? Stick to a routine: wake up, potty, short walk, training, eat, play, potty again, and nap.Your puppy is in school and needs a balance of math, English, history, and science. Recess can come after the other subjects.DO NOT replace the essential subjects with play and affection. This is having your puppy in recess all day long.Purchase "The Business of Dog Training" on Amazon RESOURCES: Podcast Website: http://puppytalkpodcast.com Sponsor Website: http://www.topgundogtraining.com Dale's books: https://www.amazon.com/author/dalebuchanan Top Gun Dog Training in Huntsville, Alabama.
