Dog Trainers, Obedience School For Dogs - Helping Or Hurting Dogs
You can't afford to waste another penny on ineffective dog trainers. Did you know that 99% of all dog trainers use ineffective methods, and will actually INHIBIT your dog's ability to learn new things in future? You can't afford to be following a dog obedience training plan that isn't getting results immediately. Going from "untrained, overaggressive" to "tame, fully obedient" isn’t as easy as all these so called "experts" claim it to be.
You’ve had advice from expert dog trainers, you’ve tried their plans, you’ve spent lots of money on their services, you may have even tried electronic shock collars (did you know that they lower your dog’s immune system making them susceptible to illness?).... and now you’re reading this because all your hard work, time, and money has done you no good. You’re still stuck with the same old disobedient dog. And maybe more confused than ever to determine right from wrong.
Most dog obedience training courses are based on theories "so and so" said, that all rely on punishing your dog whenever he doesn’t listen. They never reveal proven strategies that show exactly how to make your dog UNDERSTAND what you are communicating to him, without forcing you to pull your hair out! They don’t discuss the most vital part of getting your dog to learn new things! (Which is making sure he understands what you are trying to get him to do!)
You don’t need some "scientifically calculated" dog training program based on hours of repetition that’s impossible to follow (not to mention doesn’t work). For example, anyone who tells you that if you rub your dog’s nose in his own urine to house train your dog doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Just because you rub a dog’s nose in urine doesn’t mean your dog will understand why you are doing that, or learn not to urinate inside! In fact, punishing your dog in such a way without him understanding why, will frustrate him and will stunt his learning, making it impossible to get him trained!
Here’s What It Really Takes to STOP your Dog’s Behavior Problems – And Get IMMEDIATE Results!! I know what works for even the most difficult to train dogs because I've come across thousands of dogs in my time training dogs and I've seen first hand what works! I am so sure you will agree with me that I will give you a risk free 60 day trial. I hope you and your dog will be very happy with the results!!

How To Stop A Dog From Digging Holes
Digger The Dog - Why Do Dogs Dig Holes
You spent the afternoon digging in your flower bed, planting , weeding, having all kinds of fun! Anyway that's what your dog must have thought as he watched from afar. But after you went back in the house for dinner, Rover took over!!
So, Why Do Dogs Dig?
Lack of exercise. Digging is a good way for a hyped-up, under-exercised dog to burn off some of that nervous energy
.
Boredom. Bored dogs need a “job” to do, something rewarding and interesting, to help the time pass by.
Digging is often the ideal solution for a bored dog: it gives him a sense of purpose, and distracts him from an otherwise-empty day.
The need for broader horizons. Some dogs are just escape artists by nature – no matter how much exercise and attention they get, it’s nearly impossible to confine them. It's simply exploring the unknown.
Separation anxiety. To a dog that’s seriously pining for your company, digging under those confining walls represents the most direct path to you. Separation anxiety is an unpleasant psychological issue relatively common among dogs – but it’s too complex to discuss within the content of this blog.
Many of the reasons contributing to your dog’s desire to dig suggest their own solutions: if your dog’s not getting enough exercise (generally speaking, at least forty-five minutes’ worth of vigorous walking per day), take him for more walks. If he’s bored, give him some toys and chews to play with during your absence, and wear him out before you leave so he spends most of the day snoozing. An escape-artist dog might need to be crated, or at least kept inside the house where he’s less likely to be able to break free.
Basic Tips For Controlling Inappropriate Digging
Restrict your dog’s access. This is the most effective thing you can do: if he’s never in the yard without active supervision, there’s no opportunity for digging.
Use natural deterrent. 99.9% of dogs will shy back, horrified, from the prospect of digging anywhere that there’s dog poop. Even the ones who like to eat it, won’t dig anywhere near it – it offends their basic, fastidious dislike of soiling their coat and paws.
Use nature’s own wiles. If the digging is bothering you because it’s upsetting the more delicate blooms in your garden, plant hardier blossoms: preferably, those with deep roots and thorny defenses. Roses are ideal.
A more time-consuming, but super-effective way of handling the issue: roll up the first inch or two of turf in your yard, and lay down chicken-wire underneath it. Your dog won’t know it’s there until he’s had a few tries at digging, but once he’s convinced himself that it’s pointless (which won’t take long), he’ll never dig in that yard again.

Why Does A Dog Eat Grass??
How To Stop My Dog From Eating Grass!!
My dog crops grass like a cow. He eats it with gusto whenever he encounters it, to the extent that my friends have begun to refer to him, jokingly, as ‘The Ruminant’. This habit of his doesn’t bother me at all, since it seems to have no ill-effects on him whatsoever.
Unless your dog’s digestion is suffering unwanted upheavals from his grass-eating habit, it’s not really a problem. Dogs have been eating grass since the dawn of time (or at least, of the species) with few ill-effects, aside from the odd bout of vomiting - and really, this is one of those things that seems to bother owners a lot more than their dogs; most dogs, will simply re-ingest the vomitus and go about their day unfazed.
But WHY do they eat grass...that is the question. Growing up, we were led to believe from our parents that it meant it was going to rain...And /or they had an upset stomach. Another thought out theory pertains to the fact that dogs are not, actually, carnivores. They’re omnivores, which literally means, “eat anything”.
This theory claims that the modern-day dog eats grass in a deliberate attempt to supplement his diet with nutrients that are missing from his daily meals. The main crux, thrust, and gist of this argument centers around the idea that dogs, as omnivorous animals, are eating too much meat and need to balance this out with a nice tart salad to go with our steak.
Another popular theory is that dogs use grass as a sort of natural emetic: that, since a nauseous dog lacks the phalangeal structure necessary for the good old ‘finger down the throat’ move, he’ll resort to nature’s bounty as an alternative. It’s true that grass does sometimes make dogs vomit – those tickly stems can irritate the stomach lining, and there have been a few occasions when I’ve seen dogs vomit up a chunk of something that’s proved to be indigestible, and along with the offending article, there’s also been a clump of grass in the vomit too...Interesting!!
All very interesting theories, but there is no truth to back any of them up. Really, grass-eating is nothing to worry about – it’s a life-long habit with many dogs, and if yours does decide that it’s no longer in his best interests, he’ll simply stop eating it all by himself.
Do worry about recently treated lawns, or anywhere where nasties like pesticides, snail bait, and rat poison could be around, since most garden chemicals are highly toxic to dogs. Ideally, you’d be keeping an eye on him anyway if he’s around those substances, but grass-eaters are at higher risk than most since they’re more likely to ingest plant matter that herbicides and other toxic chemicals have been sprayed onto.
In addition to this, it’s also best if he’s kept away from those clumps of dried-out grass that lie around on the lawn after it’s been freshly mowed. It shouldn’t be a problem if the grass is mowed by a push-mower; but if it’s been through a gas-operated machine, the grass will be tainted with petrol fumes and grease, which at best will taste horrible and at worst can make him pretty sick.
If you want you can try varying his diet slightly. Unlike humans, dogs do not need a widely varied diet to keep them “interested” in food; they’re creatures of routine, and diet is no exception to this rule. However, since one of the theories that attempts to explain why dogs eat grass is centered around a lack of nutritional variety, you can try introducing various tasty vegetables into his food: most dogs enjoy tomatoes, carrots (either steamed or raw) and chopped apples. Be sure to stay well away from grapes, raisins, and onions, since these are toxic to dogs.
The general consensus from the experts seems to be that grass-eating, although somewhat of an enigmatic pastime to us humans, is just ‘one of those things’ as far as your dog is concerned. It won’t do him any harm, and you can be sure that if he’s eating it, he’s enjoying it – so there’s really not a lot to be said for depriving him of that simple pleasure.

Ultimate House Training Guide For Dogs
Simple Steps To Dog Training
House training a dog is an intimidating task for most people, but when it's broken down for even the greenest of owners to understand, that really helps!. Check lists, do’s and don’ts, how to appropriately deal with “accidents”, as well as helpful training products available is really a plus!
What I am referring to is the "The Ultimate House Training Guide". I found it to be a very important part of me and my puppys life for quite a while. There’s a quick section on the tools of the trade (“patience, persistence, consistence, and common sense”) along with some morale-boosting advice on how to keep your cool through the training process, and then it’s straight into the meat of the matter: the nitty-gritty on how to house train, with a detailed section (one for pups, one for older dogs) on each of the three methods recommended (paper-training, crate-training, and the direct method.)
Common house training problems are dealt with, which is particularly handy! A huge variety of issues are covered, from territorial marking to poop-eating; and on top of that, each problem comes with a case study, which helps you to put the information into context.
Next, health-related problems are covered in some depth. There’s a section on congenital problems (problems your dog was born with); a section on the disease-related problems that develop later in life; and a section on other problems related to house training, like inappropriate outdoor elimination, or lawn-burn from urination.
Finally, there’s the Top Ten Tips for hassle-free house training, which is essentially a recap of the most helpful and necessary attitude adjustments, practical tips, and useful nuggets of general knowledge which will come in most handy in your dog’s training. Sound like a handful? It’s actually very user-friendly. Not only is this book packed with sound practical advice, but the whole thing is laid out in a very logical and easy-to-understand format: the tone is light and non-threatening (no confusing terminology or strange gaps in logic here!) and it proceeds in a logical manner from step to step, with the assistance of helpful how-to illustrations from the book’s charming mascot (a pooch called, of all things, Spot-Less).
And one of the best parts is a free, personalized email consultation with the team at Kingdom of Pets. If you’d like additional help with your own dog’s toilet-related vagaries, just flick them off an email and you’ll get an individualized professional opinion on how best to handle the problem - plus any additional tips and strategies necessary to get your house training under control.
