Dear Poncho, Help! We’ve had family staying with us all weekend, and our dog, Wiley, has had a hard time behaving. At the family’s request, when we go outside, we have to put him inside, in his crate. That’s because if we let him out when we go out to play, he jumps on and nips at us, the extended family, neighbors, the gardener and anyone else stopping by for a visit. When we are inside, Wiley...

Dog Training and Behavior Traci Theis and Kellyann Conway Listen to Your Dog Learn to listen to your dog. If your dog appears to be uncomfortable meeting another dog, animal or person, don't insist that he say hello. He's telling you that he isn't comfortable for a reason, and you should respect that. Forcing the issue can often result in bigger problems down the line. Be Generous with Your Affection Most...

I sometimes wonder if "dog-sledding" was invented when some Eskimos gave up trying to train their dogs to come when called and tied them to their sleds instead. Okay, just kidding! But seriously, if we don’t train our dogs to come when we call them, we may have to treat them as hostages! I think we all must know at least one person who has to watch the open front door or yard gate like a hawk when...

I remember buying a purple choke collar for Kyra, and asking my neighbor if she would like to go on a dog training walk with me...

The most important of all dog training tips is how to be the pack leader. All dogs are descendants of wolves, and even though our canine pets are domesticated, they still have pack instincts. Your dog doesn’t think it’s a person – it thinks you’re a dog. A dog needs and expects a leader, and if it doesn’t recognize you as the alpha dog, it will assume the responsibility itself. This trait...
A mark of a good leader is the ability to inspire appropriate behavior and response without manipulation or cohersion. Dog Whispering is the skill to be a leader of canines.

This can result in everything from simply having a disobedient...

Pack Leader To An Aggressive...

He will automatically be more attentive and obedient...

A dog's mother begins training puppies from birth. She makes them wait for food; she controls when they play and how far they travel.

In the wild, the pack leader uses calm-assertive energy to influence how the...

Episode 119: September 22, 2011 Dog Behavior by Jolanta Benal It’s obvious to most people that they should keep their distance from a dog who’s curling his lip or growling.
