Wait a Moment…Is this the Horse and Buggy Era?

Back in a day, humans who trained canines used what I refer to as “negative reinforcement.”  Think of it this way, if your human child misbehaved the punishment used to be a spanking and being sent to one’s room without dinner.  Modern child psychologists have come to realize that this method is simply outdated!

So why would any so-called dog trainer use choke chains, shock collars, and clickers (among other torture devices) to make their best friend behave?  Remember, the operative words here are “best friend.”  My mantra is HUMANE employing patience, confidence, compassion, consistency, and (above all) understanding.

Some may chuckle, but it has put me in good stead with generations of dogs and their owners for over 50 years.  I will continue to train humane for as long as I am privileged to do so.  My name is Dennis Danskin.  For humane dog training anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley please give me a call for a complimentary in-home visit at (702) 327-4744.

Pee Yew…Not Again!

Patience, patience, patience…house training your puppy is about consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement.  The goal is to instill good habits and build a loving bond with your pet.  You may begin house training your puppy when he is between 12 weeks and 16 weeks old.  At that point, he has enough control of his bladder and bowel movements to learn to hold it.

Here are some tips –

1.  Keep your puppy on a regular feeding schedule.

2.  Take her out first thing in the morning.

3.  Take your four-legged child to the same spot.

4.  Stay with him…at least until he is fully house-trained.

5.  Praise good behavior when eliminating.

This is only one of the many humane steps I will teach your new arrival along the way.  All of them are important.  I am in-home dog trainer Dennis Danskin.  It has been my pleasure and joy to serve the Las Vegas Valley with humane dog training for many decades.  Please give me a call for a complimentary visit at your residence…on your time at (702) 327-4744.
