Well, I just wrapped up shooting this morning’s edition of MassAppeal. I had the pleasure of speaking with Ashley Sattler about dog training and behavior. It was a lot of fun and I wanted to share it with you.

Eric Letendre is a professional dog trainer from the United States and has been training dogs for over 20 years, teaching regular, average, every-day owners all over the world how to get the training results they want as fast as possible. Eric is also the author of numerous reports, the E-Book “101 Ways to Improve Your Dog’s Behavior,” “The Amazing Dog Training Man Book,” and produced and stars in his DVD “Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer.”

I’m such a fan of Seinfeld. I was cracking up as I was reading your email newsletter. Man, that was real funny for someone like me. Thank you very much for making my morning a great one.
Eric, Rachel and Ashley,
I just have to say that you both just proved that dogs are like our kids. They learn ‘stuff’ which makes you PROUD but when it comes to performing on cue they sometimes flounder.
I enjoyed your presentation – it made me smile!

Loved this! You did so good, Eric! What I’ve always loved about you is that you’re not pretentious; you’re just a real, everyday guy who happens to love dogs and know how to train them correctly. Thanks for being you!
I’ve been following your emails,I love your video’s and want to purchase your book but I just can’t afford to right now since my father recently passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. I’ve got a 5 month old Golden Retriever. Who even with your method of holding the food behind you a bit and encouraging him for 10 steps then giving it to him …He keeps pulling as soon as the food is gone.
Is there anything I’m not following through on?
I also can’t get him to stop mouthing at people if they touch him suddenly or he puts his head up when I go to put his leash on he puts his mouth( teeth on my hand for a second. He doesn’t close his mouth or bite but we have a 18 month old and other kids. I don’t want them to get hurt. I’ve taught him to take food gently and I’ll say gentle but how do I get him over the behavior without a verbal command?
If there is anyway you can help us I’d really appreciate your advice.If there’s anyway at some time during your busy schedule you could email me at kenkat3@shaw.ca I’ve tried Krista cantrel’s training as well and I’m combining both of your techniques. I have so many questions…
Sincerely
Katherine
Thanks for everyone’s kind words. I really appreciate it.
