Respect Training for Adult Dogs: 30 Seconds to a Calm, Polite, Well-Behaved Dog

Thirty Seconds to a Polite, Calm, Well-Behaved Dog. 30 seconds? Yes, 30 seconds. Bear with me for a moment, and I'll explain. :) Some people think that obedience training is the key to making a dog well-behaved. They hope that by taking their dog to a one-hour obedience class every week.... and maybe spending another hour each night practicing the commands, their dog will be well-behaved. But the truth is that very little obedience training needs to be done with a dog to get him to be well-behaved. That's right. Very little obedience training. Keep in mind that I've instructed obedience classes for over 35 years, so I certainly wouldn't say that unless it was true. The truth is that what a dog needs most is to be RAISED the right way. Raising a dog the right way includes some obedience training, yes. But teaching obedience commands like "Sit" or "Stay" only influences about 20% of the way your dog ends up behaving. On the other hand, how you live with the dog around the house every single day influences 80% or more of his behavior. And that's where the 30 seconds to a calm, polite, well-behaved dog comes in! Respect Training for Adult Dogs: 30 Seconds to a Calm, Polite, Well-Behaved Dog is a BALANCED training method that includes positive reinforcement for good behavior, plus corrections for unwanted behavior. I will show you which behaviors you should expect your dog to do – and how to teach those behaviors and make sure that he does them.... every time. I'll show you which behaviors you should stop your dog from doing – and how to stop him. Everything your dog needs to know to be a top-notch canine citizen is included! Summary 30 SECONDS Respect Training shows you how to be a reliable, trusted leader so your dog can relax and be a secure, confident follower. Then 30-second teachable moments are all you need for training. Your dog will enjoy it! CALM With Respect Training your dog will pay attention to you and follow your directions. All the time. He’ll be relaxed and quiet, without pitching a fit or racing around the house if he sees or hears something. He’ll wait for you (his Respected Leader) to handle everyday events, and coexist peacefully with other pets. POLITE Respect Training will teach your dog to always look to you for guidance. He’ll stop barking when told, accept house guests if you welcome them, and keep four feet on the floor without jumping on people. A polite dog sits, walks on a loose leash, waits for your permission before going through doors and gates, and goes to his bed when told. Obedience becomes a happy game that never ends. Respect Training shows you how to establish routines and patterns so your dog always knows what behaviors are expected. When your dog respects your leadership he’s happy to behave. WELL-BEHAVED He will stop making his own unacceptable decisions about what is OK and what isn’t. No more wild racing around, nuisance barking, jumping on people, peeing behind the couch, pulling on the leash, or chewing up your stuff. When you follow my Respect Training program, your dog will live a happy, low-stress life as the well-behaved, well-trained dog of your dreams. Exactly the kind of dog we all want!
