Did you know:

• For most people, no matter how hard you pinch the skin on your elbow with your fingers, it doesn’t hurt.
• One in three dog owners say they have talked to their pets on the phone.
• The names of Popeye’s four nephews are Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye.
• The sentence, “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.” uses every letter of the alphabet!
• The #1 problem for new puppy owners is puppy biting with housetraining running a close second.

Some may argue this fact, but my research shows that puppy biting is the numero uno behavior problem.

Ever wish you knew what your dog was saying?

Get this… Hungarian scientists are working on computer
software that analyzes dog barks so people can better
recognize their emotions.

It’s true.

And get this… the researchers tested the software in 6
situations: when the dog is alone, when it sees a ball, it
fights, it plays, it encounters a stranger or it goes for
a walk.

But here’s the best part: The computer correctly recognized
the emotional reaction of the dogs based on their barks and
yelps in 43 percent of the cases. People had judged correctly
in 40 percent of cases.

Scientists said the software could be improved.

Why is this important to you?

Imagine if your dog could let you know that they need to go
outside to pee, or if your dog could let you know that they
are pent up and need some exercise before they chew your shoes.

Unfortunately, we have to make do without the software and we
have to communicate what is acceptable and un-acceptable behavior
in the house.

It is one of the reasons I developed the Good K9 Manners course.

The course will help you communicate to your dog that:

* Chewing
* Jumping
* Stealing
* Unruly Behavior
* Barking uncontrollably

are all un-acceptable behaviors.

In case you missed it in yesterday’s Train Your Dog TV, you
can get the Good K9 Manners course for less than you think.

Go to Good K9 Manners and type DOGTVMANNERS and you’ll
get the reduced price.

This won’t last long.

Good K9 Manners and don’t forget DOGTVMANNERS.

All the best,

Eric
