How I’m Keeping Our Dog from Killing our Puppy! (resource guarding, separation anxiety and…)

Did you ever wonder why chain link dog kennels are so popular? Why not just buy the chain link, posts and all the supplies you need and do it yourself? Right?

As a dog trainer and canine behavior specialist that helps people train their problem dog’s, one of the things I hear most often with puppies is how do we get the biting to stop. As cute as those little puppies are their teeth are like little tiny razor blades and they hurt. I’m going to teach you a way to eliminate the biting problem without any confrontation.

On a daily basis I am asked by dog owners who call in for information on how to solve a behavior problem, how do I keep my dog from doing this or how do I correct my dog for doing that. When you take a few minutes to talk to these dog owners you find that we’re dealing with untrained dogs. I think some of them are quite surprised when I tell them that the way to correct unwanted behavior is to teach the dog basic obedience.

I have been involved in dog training all my life and one thing that I have seen over and over again is how we make excuses for our dogs. I get quite a few calls from dog owners telling me about their dog problems. No matter how bad the problem is they always seem to end the statement with “but he is really a good dog”. Does this sound familiar? We even make the same type of excuses for our children.

Getting out and going for a walk is not only good for your health but it’s also a great way to enjoy spending time with your dog. In this article I want to give you a few tips on how to make that walk safer and more enjoyable.
