Smile!


Don't be so serious about training your puppy or dog. Have fun. Enjoy the present moment because for your dog, that's all it is about. They live in the present moment. Dogs are doing what comes naturally to dogs-jumping, biting, chewing, digging, barking. We have invited them into our home and we want them to act human. We are really asking for tough stuff from our dogs. Some dogs adapt well. If yours doesn't, ask yourself-am I being consistent? fair? calm? Am I being the role model for my dog? Be calm, relax. Dogs are dogs and do dog stuff. Find out what makes your dog happy and do it. And smile. Be attractive to your dog.

We have to have rules and boundaries. But make sure your dog has enough of the stuff that makes them happy-not us happy-them happy.If it's chase,tug,running,playing or a million other things, you can use all of these in training your dog. And have fun doing it.
