Dog Training Questions and/or Advice

I've been getting calls and emails asking for training advice and tips for common behaviors seen in our dogs. While I encourage everyone to implement a training program into their everyday lives so you can bring forth your dog's full potential, I understand that not everyone has the means of doing so. Even though every dog is different in personality and energy level, and the training approach varies depending on the dog, I'm going to open this blog to anyone who would like to post their training concerns. With the information being put out here, I can send people this direction to read about a question that has already been targeted. So, on that note, feel free to post any training or behavior modification questions to this blog and I'll be checking in periodically to give appropriate feedback.

Housebreaking Issues-Getting Your Puppy Off On The Right Paw!

With Christmas behind us, I'm getting a lot of calls and emails from dog owners who are experiencing difficulties with getting their new puppy housebroken. Unfortunately, every time your puppy is succesful in relieving themselves indoors, it makes it that much harder to reach your goal of having a puppy that consistently goes to the bathroon outdoors.
Some time ago, I had created a housebreaking tip sheet and a mock potty schedule for clients who weren't having the best of luck in getting the results they thought they would. As I have access to these documents, I'm willing to send them to anyone who may be in need of assistance. Simply email me at Casey@TeamDog.com and I'll get them right out.

Until next time...
