Today you are going to learn the most important “Secret” to teaching your dog to come when called. This secret is not taught by other trainers but first…
…a story.
As many of you know, I did not enjoy school. In fact I HATED it and as you can guess, my grades were bad.
Don’t get me wrong, I love learning and reading. My library is huge and I am always taking classes and attending seminars.
I guess by today’s standards, I would be classifed as ADHD.
I would sit in the class room and stare out the window wishing I was outside doing anything other than sitting in a room listening to a boring teacher drone on and on.
One word would describe what I was thinking of most of the day.
Have you guessed it?
FREEDOM!
And that same word is the secret to getting your dog to come back when called.
The dogs that get good at coming when called have a developed sense of freedom.
When an owner is having a difficult time teaching their dog to come when called, it usually has more to do with the dog wanting to party than understanding the command.
Think about a dog’s life. They spend most of it under some type of confinement. They are in a crate, house, fenced in area, car, kennel, on leash, etc.
Who can blame them for refusing to come when called, why would a dog come racing back to the owner when they know the owner is going to put them back on leash or in the car or in the house?
The dog is going to maximize his freedom when he can unless…
…your dog develops a sense of freedom.
I can hear some of you saying:
“Okay, Mr. Amazing Dog Training Man, how the heck is my dog going to develop a sense of freedom when he takes off every time he is loose?”
Here’s the rub: You don’t let your dog off-leash, you never put your dog in a situation where he can take off and get lost or hurt.
In my next blog post I will share with you how to safely help your dog develop a sense of freedom so stay tuned…
All the best,
Eric

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.

Last week I got an email from a subscriber that was extremely frustrated.
She was upset because she had been researching dog training and was confused by all the different methods being taught.
“It can get confusing.” I wrote back.
There are a lot of “experts” on the internet claiming to be dog trainers. The unfortunate fact is that dog training on the internet is a very popular niche with a lot of people that have never trained a dog in their life.
A few years back, I saw the internet explode with a huge influx of dog training gurus and decided to write my book, “The Amazing Dog Training Man”.
The book was written in story form to explain the reasons behind the methods.
You see, a good dog trainer will explain WHY he uses a certain technique.
For example, this excerpt is from Chapter 2 of “The Amazing Dog Training Man”:
“Confusion is probably the biggest problem faced by new dog owners. I see the look of frustration on the faces of dog owners coming through my doors very often when they decide to bring their little terror in for training.
“The sad fact is that confusion and frustration often lead to anger. Anger often leads to punishment.
Punishment often leads to problems between the dog and owner.
“Once the relationship between the dog and owner goes sour, things quickly disintegrate.”
I could tell that he was genuinely troubled when this happened.
“Over the next few weeks,” he went on, “I’ll show you how to develop a great relationship with your dog. I am not a guy that is going to regurgitate the same old theories and methods that you read in most dog training books.
“Instead, I am going to explain the reasoning behind why I train the way I do, and why you should apply the same methods.”
