Did you know that most of what WE call behavior problems in dogs is incorrect.
Most of the behaviors that we don’t like are really just location problems.
When your dog pees on the carpet we call it a behavior problem. When your dog digs in your yard we call it a behavior problem. When your dog jumps we call it a behavior problem.
If we show the dog the right place to do the behavior it is no longer a behavior problem.

Much better to run outside, give the command “Get busy” and have it all wrapped up in a few seconds. This is also very easy to teach your dog and this video will show you how.

I don’t think there was another house or person for miles around. My brother, not being familiar with farms, did not know that the little wire that kept all the cows in the pasture was electrified.
He looked around, unzipped his fly and let it rip. Keep Reading…
