We Made It!

11.55 in Dog Training, it, made, we

After three months of auditions and interviews, we finally made it!

Our final phone interview was last Wednesday with Victoria herself... Victoria Stilwell, that is!
We have been chosen to be a part of her Positively Dog Training team and are so honored!
This means wonderful things for Wag & Train, but also for dogs in general.  Not only do we get to be a part of her shows and marketing campaign, but we are going to help get the message out that force and fear are not necesary.  We are going to strive to educate dog owners on the importance of positive dog training, and we have Victoria to back us all the way.

Stay tuned for some exciting things to come!

Oh- and our new website is up, too!

Dog Training made easy

11.17 in dog, Dog Training, easy, made, training

If you own a dog, you will have to do more than just feed him and give him toys to play with. Just about every dog, no matter what breed, will have some bad habits and behaviors that you will need to break.
There are different ways to deal with each of the unacceptable behaviors from your dog. Whatever you do, make sure that it is something that will be effective in order for your dog to change his ways. Some behavioral problems stem from the genetics of the breed of your dog.
You must teach your dog from the beginning what is acceptable or not. Leaving it to a later stage will be harder for you and harder for him to learn as he will be much more set in his ways.
Your dog is a member of your family and your best friend so having an obedient and well behaved pet is crucial.
Here are some things that you need to learn in training your dog:
? How to stop your dog from biting
? How to stop them from howling and barking and what could happen if you don‘t
? How to stop them from being aggressive
A happy dog means a happy owner and once they get attached to you, there is no turning back. Your dog will be your best friend and companion for life.
A dog can be your protector from hurt, harm and danger. They will easily and readily come to your defense when they need to. However, in order to do that, they have to be trained properly and the most important thing is to get rid of any bad behaviors they may have so that they can be more efficient and dependable and this requires patience on your part.
