We as humans pacify our self's when we speak to our Pets in English; like with sit, down, drop it, leave it, nooo, stay and come. When in all reality they don't understand our words. If we remember Charlie Brown we sound like all the adults "wha wha wha ". But they do understand our tones, signals and body language. Once that is understood then we could really communicate and understand our 4 leg-ed friends. Now that half the battle is done you can really get some long lasting training done.

I'm very grateful for the humane society in some ways; But when a dog has a minor problem they are so ready to lock them up and not at least give the pet parent a chance to correct them with training. I'm having a problem here in Stamford with then a 9 month young German Shepherd that was locked up for two weeks because he scratched a person. Wow i don't think that's enough reason to confine the puppy for two weeks and in the mean time the dog is getting worse in the pound. Then they get there puppy back. With the same lady again he jumped up (SAME LADY). That looks to me she was asking for it also she is the trouble neighbor on the block. This story could go for ever so I'll cut it short. They locked the shepherd up for another 2 weeks. To me it looks like the pound is looking to make MONEY because you have to pay to get you pet back. Now there something wrong with this. I'm a Pet Trainer and I'm training the Shepherd he has puppy behavior that carried to Adult hood. Still no reason to lock him up(Pounds in it for the MONEY). The pound has ordered them to muzzle him at all times when off there property. NO NO NO, in my training NO muzzle is allowed, because any dog needs to pant to cool them selves off or they could over heat. Now for this so called vicious dog I've had no problem nor any signs of him being unruly. Well what I'm saying is before the Humane Society digs into your pocket PLEASE train your pets.

Potty Trainning

When we get our new members to our family(Pets). It is important that establish there den, I call it kennel training. Now the size of the kennel should be only big enough for them to stand up with out hitting there heads. Also only enough space to do a 360 turn and to lye down comfortably. Anything bigger than that they'll have room to do peeps and poops on one side and the other side lye down. NO its not wrong to only offer this space. Remember we are creating a den not an apartment LOL. All dogs love there dens, in fact they look forward to it if introduced positively, not as punishment. As we are kennel training the we are also training them to build the bladders so that we don't have accidents. A key thing to remember is when we feed them we have about 20 to 30 minutes before they need the bathroom. Good Luck

Training our pets

The most common reasons people give up on there pets are, they have no communication with there pets. that's where training comes in. When we teach sit, stay, down, leave it, walking on a loose leash(leadership walks) and most important of all the look at me command, which is also known as attention and focus. We create not only a bond but we become the pack leader when we spend the time with our pets. Then the communication has been established. Why did we get pet in the first place, not only to take up space but to become an important member in our family. So we call our selves Pet parents (LOL). So as pet parents it is our responsibility as we do with our children we need to get training for our pets.
