Great approach and methodology!
November 13, 2021

Our dog is a barker, and struggles with social interaction with other dogs when he's on a leash. Seriously considering this course to work on changing those behaviors.

Helpful new information
November 10, 2021

Just in the introductory training, there is so much valuable information about how to train your dog to behave as calm as a service dog. For example, I never knew that a service dog considers it his job to lie down while waiting for his owner to give the next command. I observed a German Shepherd service dog at the grocery store and he was lying down calmly while his owner was looking in the meat department.

I tried many of the suggestions, some my pup took to straight away, others she took a little while with lots of repetitions. We're working on her barking at the lawn mower and vacuum cleaner using the ‘look after your bed' suggestion as used for barking when someone comes to the door. I'm having difficulty getting her to understand that her bed needs looking after / that's her job while I vacuum. But the suggestion sounds reasonable so we're working on it.
The suggestions are clearly written, in common sense language.
Soon I'm sure my little girl will be the perfect pup! Thanks

Great Technique for Training my Dog
November 8, 2021

I learned a great deal about training my dog through this mini-course. For example, I learned 1; operant conditioning (positive and negative reinforcement) 2; body language (using your eyes and gestures as directions for your dog to follow and 3; ADHD (all dogs need a job to do). I learned how to teach walk my dog on a leash, how to keep my dog from jumping on myself and others, how to keep my dog from barking, how to get my dog to stay down until I tell him to get up, etc. I learned many necessary details to help train my dog.
