You have just brought home your new little puppy. Dog training is the last thing on your mind. Oh, you know you will have to train your dog to go to the bathroom outside but that is no big deal.

You can clearly see how your life will be know that you have a wonderful dog. You imagine being able to take your dog with you to the park where he can run free and play with you. He will go ever where that you do and he will always stay by your side so you don’t even need him on a leash.

He might even be a best friend to your daughter or son. They will spend the summers running together and getting into mischief the way a kid and their dog are supposed to. Life is going to be fantastic!

Then the truth comes out.

Your perfectly behaved dog will absolutely not relieve himself outside and loves lounging on your couch. He is now to good for the kibbles and bits you try to feed him and instead rummages around the counters to find better fare. Your carpet is a digging zone.

Forget that you bought him chew toys and plenty of bones, the arms on your favorite recliner have become the best chew toy in the world. He is constantly barking at everything including his own shadow and your dreams of owning a well behaved dog are vanishing.The constant barking is driving you batty. If you do dog obedience training dog barking is first on the list.

Now what do you do?

Well even if you wanted to you can not just get rid of your monstrous dog because when he get in trouble he gets the biggest saddest eyes that he stares up at you with. He really loves you and you him.

If only he would behave.

Well the answer my friend is dog training and not just taking your dog to a dog training class a handful of times. Your dog will need constant training but it will not be as hard to do as you think.

Dogs really love to please so when you two finally figure out how to properly communicate and he knows what to expect, he will go out of his way to make you happy.
