Why “The Whisperer” Makes Me Mad

May 16th, 2012
By Eric Letendre

This guy makes me mad.

Lately, all I hear from my wife is how great this guy is.

“His videos are great,” she tells me. So much information on his website.”

All I know is that this “Whisperer” guy is making me crazy.

Lately, Rach has been telling me how she has been reading about the pecking order. I finally had to tell her that I don’t want to hear another word about The Chicken Whisperer.

You see, my wife and I bought a house with a couple of acres of land and she wants to raise some chickens for the eggs.

I thought it was amusing when she showed me The Chicken Whisperer website. It’s funny how many “whisperers” there are.

The Ghost Whisperer, the Chicken Whisperer, the Wood Whisperer, the Book Whisperer, there is even a bra whisperer.

So what’s all this got to do with dog training?

Well, I am biased but…

…my thinking is that getting chickens, starting an aquarirum or haivng a dog goes much better with some education and help.

I’d love to help you and your dog.

Why Dog Training Doesn’t Work

May 15th, 2012
By Eric Letendre

Last week I was working with a big fun, beautiful dog named Bo.

Bo’s owner was not too happy with his behavior.

You see, Bo loves chewing, digging, pulling on leash and basically getting into trouble.

I have seen hundreds of dogs like Bo, and by following some simple steps, his behavior can easily be brought under control and he can become a very enjoyable dog to be around.

But here’s the rub…

…the owner. Bo’s owner thinks Bo is a complete and utter bonehead and has said so many times during our training sessions.

The owner likes to tell me all the reasons why Bo will never learn obedience or stop his annoying behavior problems.

The first ten minutes of our last session were spent with the owner explaining all the reasons why Bo can’t learn obedience commands and why none of my suggestions were going to work.

That is when I put up my hand and asked her if she knew who Henry Ford was.

“The car guy?” she asked.

“Yes, the guy who started the Ford Motor Company.” I said.

I went on, “Henry Ford is famous for a very popular dog training quote. Would you like to hear it?”

“Sure.”

“If you think you can do a thing, or if you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” I said.

“That is a dog training quote?” She asked.

“Well in this situation it is. It applies to everything in life but for our purposes it applies to dog training,” I said.

You see, I have used this quote over and over in my dog training career because it applies so well.

I have had loads of people tell me why dog training doesn’t work for their dog and they are correct, if they believe that.

BUT…

…The same person can also choose to believe that their dog can learn to do obedience, to stop doing annoying behaviors and become the dog they always wanted.

The choice really is up to you.

If you believe Henry Ford’s quote and are ready to train your dog, I have a something you may want to check out:

I got this interesting dog training question

March 16th, 2012
By Eric Letendre

Got this interesting dog training question:

“Eric, I’m concerned about using food and treats to train my dog. I don’t want to have to carry around bags of hot dogs to get my dog to do obedience. Thoughts?”

Completely agree, last thing I want is a dog that only responds to me when I am waving a treat around.

That is why it is so important to understand the difference between rewards and bribes.

If you bribe your dog, you will always need treats to get a response.

BUT…

…if you reward your dog, you won’t need treats for your dog to do a command.

It all has to do with when you offer the treat.

A lot of trainers bribe the dog instead of reward the behavior.

I cover this in great detail in the Ultimate Online Dog Training Course.

So if you’re ready to train your dog and learn the correct way to use treats, then the “Ultimate Online Dog Training Course” is for you.

The Secret To Loose Leash Walking

This video really does share the secret to loose leash walking.

The Strange Solution To Your Dog’s Pulling Problem

October 22nd, 2011
By Eric Letendre

Just like you, I used to suffer from a dog that would pull a tree out of the ground, roots and all.

The constant pulling and using the choke chain were miserable.

You see, before I became The Amazing Dog Training Man, I had a dog that would literally drag me down the street.

Because I didn’t know any better, I went down to the local pet store and they handed me a choke collar.

The collar made the situation worse and I felt terrible putting it on my dog every time I went for a walk.

It was just miserable.

And I really feel for anyone else putting up with a dog that pulls like a pack of Alaskan sled dogs completing the Iditarod.

But you know what?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You see, one day while I was going for a walk, I had a kind of weird idea about how to solve my dog’s pulling problem. I decided to get rid of the choke collar!

So I tried it to see what would happen. I also decided to stop walking, or go in the other direction every time my dog pulled.

And much to my surprise … it worked!

In fact, it worked so quickly I almost thought it was a fluke.

But it wasn’t a fluke.

It DOES work.

And I believe it can eliminate your dog’s pulling problem, too.

I show you exactly what I did and how you can do the same thing in my Dog Training Inner Circle.

But hurry.

Right now it’s priced low.

That won’t be the case forever.

Go there today and watch your dog’s pulling problem vanish by tomorrow.
