How many times have you been in a public place with your dog, and he / she refuses to listen, or even urinates somewhere they shouldn't? It happens all the time to numerous people every single day! What about your dog growling or barking at new guests over at your house? Does your dog whine at the site of table food? For many people these problems and many more have become a part of everyday life.
These problems are very serious and should be addressed. A spoiled dog can easily be turned into a biting dog without any warning. Numerous studies have linked undisciplined dogs to biting and other forms of aggression. Nobody likes to be sued either! The way some people are in today's world, it wouldn't be surprising if you were taken to court over a simple incident involving your dog no matter how minor it is.
Yelling at or trying to intimidate your dog may seem like the right thing to do at the moment, but that can have a crucial impact with trust issues and / or relationships with them. It can be very frustrating trying to keep a dog under control. Thousands of people simply give up hope, and do nothing to solve any of these problems. That is a huge mistake! Why live year after year with a dog that doesn't listen, tears up furniture, growls at guests, begs for table food, and other numerous issues. Something must be done!
Hiring an obedience trainer could be the answer. If you have plenty of money to spare, I say go for it! It may be expensive, but it is very much worth the price. However, if you are like me, you don't have spare money to pay an obedience trainer. Obedience trainers can cost upwards of $500 to $5000! There has to be another way. Well there are several books on how to train your dog, but the best one comes in the form of an e-book and has great reviews. You can find it here http://www.truehour.com/dogtrainer . This may very well be the best bang for your buck. I personally know people that have used it with great success, and hey, if it doesn't work (which I know for sure it will) you can get a full refund. Hopefully this will send you in the right direction and save you tons of money and frustration in the long run. Good luck, and enjoy your new and improved best friend!
