- The biggest challenge John faces as a dog trainer (Hint: we walk on 2 legs);
- Divorce and dating with dogs;
- Some of John’s dog training philosophy;
- What to do if you need help with your dog’s behavior; and
- How to select a dog trainer and red flags to look out for.
Takeaway Training Tips:
- #1 Most Important Thing when training your dog = consistency;
- If you want to improve your dog’s behavior, you have to do the work;
- Sometimes you have to choose your battles;
- Take responsibility for the energy you bring to working with your dog. If you are frustrated, your dog knows that.;
- Learn your dog’s body language;
- 3 dog trainer “red flag” words: fix, guarantee, perfect;
- When deciding on a dog to join your family, be honest with yourself about your lifestyle. If you are a couch potato, then a purebred herding dog may not be the best choice for you.
