TrainPetDog

It was so helpful to talk with Sally. I had noticed my dog doesn't pee and poop both on the pee pad, but didn't understand why and she helped me. She also confirmed my feeling that I was confusing the dog by taking him outside and providing pee pads.

I am learning so much about my dogs and how to train them. Like how simple things I didn't know greatly affect my dogs' learning ability. This program recognizes the need to train the trainers before they attempt to train their dogs. Both I and my dogs are learning at the same time and it's wonderful to see how quickly behavior can be adapted. I never realized how eager dogs can be to learn new things. This program is a learning tool for all of us. That's a lot to say for a 67 yr. Old who has been around dogs his entire life!

I really didn't think that training two dogs would be so difficult. Sally thinks I should have trained them to a potty spot in the yard and not be walking and walking them and be pulled in two directions all the time. I am not sure I can re-train them.

Buster and I have created an immense bond and seeks attention at the right times and I give at the right time. Bad behavior portrait by Buster like biting is highly ignored and Buster would realise this and gives up and get to its dog house and relax. Good behaviors are rewarded. The only thing is that Buster would still relief himself where unwanted and this is realised by myself from work... While we are together it goes to a desired and chosen spot.

I've had a horrible time - house burned down, husband died, surgery - and finally feel like I need a dog and am in a stable enough place to have one. I am so happy to talk to Sally because it has been a long time since I trained a puppy. Very helpful.

I must have missed the call around 7:00 so Sally called back very late at 9:15. I wasn't going to talk since we were already in bed, but I did tell her the dog was not a puppy and had started peeing on the bed, so she said that was marking and I wanted to know what to do about it, so she told me. She was very straightforward and I liked talking with her.

I'd like to think this call was a "one and done" deal where if I do the things I was told, all will be well. However, I know that my dog is going to be a challenge and I will be signing up for more calls! Sally had good advice tonight and I will be doing the things we talked about.

I feel so much better about my dog coming and being my dog. My brother and his partner have fallen in love with her and so we are sharing her, but I didn't know how we would make this work and Sally has given me some solid ideas.

She assured me that I was doing a lot of things but just needed to add and tweak a few things. She also gave me tons of information. I'm looking forward to implementing her suggestions and our follow up call.

I really appreciate all the tips. I'm a little bit overwhelmed by all the things I need to be doing, but each one by itself sounds simple enough to do. I took notes, so hopefully I can make this work.
