Dog obedience tips

Buzz is like a new dog! We found a program that offered great dog obedience tips and real solutions. The new dog behavior is amazing. We have now housebroken Buzz so when he needs to go out he now sits by the back door and waits to be let out. He no longer barks like crazy when someone rings the doorbell so we can even have pizza delivered to the house again without fear that he’s going the attack the delivery man. Thanks to some great dog obedience tips, taking him on walks is a pleasure. He doesn’t pull on the leash so that even my wife and kids can take him without worrying about being injured. Instead of being aggressive, he’s the same sweet docile puppy we met the first day at the shelter.

Without training schools or obedience classes, we learned enough dog training tips to change Buzz’s behavior and the result is now a wonderful pet who is part of our family. Without this great program to train my dog, things would still be out of control.

For better or worse, we went to the local shelter and fell in love with Buzz, a 9 month old Lab/Shepherd mix. He had such an adorable face and he really looked like he needed us. We brought him home and committed ourselves to dog training. Afterall, we wanted an obedient dog. The first day Buzz was very docile and we thought that this whole training thing was going to be easy. But then Buzz turned into an aggressive dog, barking at everyone who came near him, grabbing things and chewing them up,  trying to jump up on the kids. Housebreaking was a nightmare with accidents everywhere.

We needed help. We considered dog obedience classes but couldn’t find one to meet our scheduling needs so we were locked in to home dog training. Then we tried crate training, but when we let Buzz out of the crate he became so aggressive that it was the kids in the crate for protection. After that we started searching for some dog obedience tips everywhere and anywhere.

We are really at our wits end and have even considered bringing Buzz back to the shelter. But we really can’t stand the thought of what that would mean. He’s our dog and we have to find a way to train him and take away his aggression without the benefit of dog obedience school or or classes. I really hope we can figure out what to do because I know that underneath this behavior lies a great dog.

My name is Steve. I’m a family man – a wife and 3 kids. We live on a nice residential street where we enjoy a very busy but happy life. My wife and I both work while the kids go to school and then participate in numerous extra curricular activities. That’s why when the subject of getting a dog was getting kicked around over the dinner table one evening, I didn’t jump on the bandwagon right away.

I remember when I was a kid we got a dog and it was a big deal. We got a puppy and then we had to train him. He had to be housebroken of course, and then taught not to chew the furniture, or go crazy when someone rang the doorbell. We had to be able to walk him without him pulling us down the street or trying to run away. My parents were so patient and our little puppy grew to be obedient and well behaved. But let’s face it – my wife and I just don’t have that much time to spend training a new puppy, and of course the kids will lose interest.
