Folks, most dog trainers and dog training books are horrible.

Maybe it would cost less and you won't permanently ruin your dog if you call a professional dog trainer FIRST. . . .

The Dog Psychology Method™ is based on respect and trust, not bribing with food or compulsion.

IT REALLY WORKS AND MAKES SENSE

YOU SEE RESULTS IMMEDIATELY What we do is practical, makes sense, and is effective.

We teach techniques and make the dog owner the dog trainer. We teach clients proper posture, timing, body language, voice tonation, inflection and attitude. We make sure the dog does everything for the client. It doesn't matter if we can train your dog. What matters is your dog responding for you.

In a really short amount of time we teach you how to calm your dogs' mind so you and your dog(s) can hang out together without all the yelling and constant correcting bad behavior.

The original Better Dog Training Demo Team.

It is very important to teach your dog to wait and be very calm.

Our big secret is we get dogs to be good citizens and relax around their people first.

A big part of a dog's job is to wait.

If your dog won't "Stay" 20 minutes to an hour YOU HAVE LITTLE. We almost always get dogs to do this for their owners during the same day of the second lesson.

Don't forget to teach your dog that being obedient and performing commands is the most wonderful thing in the world or your dog will look like Archie the Border Collie Mix on the right. Archie mostly cares about the ball.

PHILOSOPHY

You will never get Off-Leash Obedience or control with Food-Bribery You need to win psychologically, manage the dog correctly, follow through with commands every time and form a love bond with the dog. Compulsion and Food-Bribery are not enough. You need to get the dog to want to cooperate just because the dog loves you and trusts you.

The SuperDog program consists of three parts:

Dog Psychology

If the dog refuses you make him or her

Getting the dog to like being obedient and obeying commands

Happy, Shiela and Spirit on "Sit-Stay"

Either it pretty much happens on the first lesson and there is a fairly dramatic change in the dog's attitude and behavior or there probably never will be.

How do you do that you ask? We get the dog on "Down" which is a submissive position and "Heel" which is a subordinate position ALMOST ALWAYS during the first lesson.

No Matter how aggressive, dominant, stubborn, aggressive or BIG, we get the dog on "Down" during the first lesson.

Usually we get the dog to "Heel" during the first lesson too. "Heel" is when you walk your dog and the front paws are equal with or behind your feet.

If the dog won't "Down" and "Heel," you have nothing. Maybe the dog loves you, but surely does not respect you. Don't expect much in the way of obedience if your dog won't do "Down" from 30 to 40 feet away and "Heel" while walking on a leash.

If the dog won't "Down" and "Heel" and you don't win psychologically you will never ever get the dog to behave OFF-LEASH.

SIT is HUGE. If your dog knows the command well and won't "Sit-Stay," "Up-Sit" or insists on laying down when you say "Sit," that means you have a defiant dog. These types of psychological battles when won usually result in a dramatic change in the dog's behavior and level of cooperation.

How to make HUGE strides:

Deal with Deficiencies

Also focus on getting the dog to be calm, to be mellow and relax.

Ask yourself, "What do I need to do to get the dog to conform to the behavior I need?"

"Stand-Stay"

For most people that first means calling in an expert who can show them how to get the best results in the least amount of time at the home.

We are confident that when you consider our program and meet us that you won't want other dog trainers.
