Now for the Positives About Holiday Adoption.

Earlier, I addressed the several reasons why you might want to wait into the New Year to adopt a new best friend. Now, the opposite of that…adopting a puppy as a gift right now to put a huge smile on the face(s) of your children. You will suddenly become the greatest mom or dad in the history of parenthood!

Here are some other reasons to adopt NOW –

 

1.  With everyone home there is extra time to interact with your new puppy.

2.  You just rescued a life and made a space for someone else’s new best friend.

3.  A study showed that 86% of pets adopted during the holidays remain at home.

Now, for the training. Oh yes, your new puppy does not come with an instruction manual. I am a phone call away, and if you are comfortable, I will train your new addition in the familiar surroundings of your own home. Please visit my website at trainhumane.net to see my methodology and call me for a complimentary in-home visit at (702) 327-4744.

Hey, Who Is in Charge Here?

Simple question…does your dog respect you NOT fear you?  Your dog can show you all the love in the world and yet still not respect you as the leader of the pack.  Does he/she chew up your clothes or furniture?  Does he/she jump on you in excitement when you get home?  Does he/she seem to ignore any command you give?

Whenever your four-legged child treats you as an equal, it simply means that you’re not being the pack leader.  The truth is dogs don’t want to be equal in the pack, and only a very few of them are born to want to be in charge.  The important thing is to build a healthy respect in the most humane way possible.

That is one of the primary reasons why I do all of my dog training in the natural surroundings of your home.  We (you and I) get the best results by doing it this way.  For decades I have been one of Las Vegas’ most successful dog trainers.  My name is Dennis Danskin.  Call me for an in-home complimentary visit at (702) 327-4744.

An Untrained Dog is NOT the Canine’s Fault.

Then it is on you my friends.  We want every canine in The Valley to find a home and a new best friend, but it is not about adopting them and expecting everything to go the way you dreamed from that point on.  Have you adopted and now you have a concern about your dog’s behavior?  Is your dog aggressive with people or other dogs?

Here are some other behavioral anomalies –

1.  Your new four-legged friend barks incessantly.

2.  Does it have separation anxiety?

3.  Has it ever bitten anyone?

4.  Do walks become battles of will between you and your new buddy?

These behavioral traits (among others) are something that can be trained with the proper hand.  Enter in-home humane dog trainer Dennis Danskin.  Dennis is human miracle who will come to your Las Vegas area home after a complimentary visit to do the work HE is “trained” to do.  Fifty years of this stuff must have worked!  Call Dennis Danskin today at (702) 327-4744.

Think Carefully Before You Adopt for Someone Else.

Have you given or are about to give a dog as a gift?  While pets offer unconditional love and irreplaceable devotion, you should think long and hard before presenting a pet as a surprise present.  Generally, most animal experts and shelters advise against adopting a dog to give as a surprise gift to someone else.  However, if you’ve discussed this with the future pet owner, it can be a great addition to your 2020 home.

Here are some things you might want to consider before giving a dog as a gift –

1.  Don’t buy from a pet shop.

2.  Do not act on impulse.

3.  Visit the animal shelter(s) several times.

4.  Take your recipient to the shelter with you.

5.  The new family addition is NOT just another consumer item.

All of this comes with this understanding…a well-trained best friend is always better than an adversarial one.  For that expert and life-long behavioral training the right person for the job is always Las Vegas professional dog trainer Dennis Danskin.  Dennis will be your family’s second-best friend.  Call him for a complimentary in-home visit at (702) 327-4744.     

The Partnership Between Humans and Dogs.

This bond likely began over 14,000 years ago and was likely originally based on a human need for help with herding and hunting, for an early alarm system, and for a source of food in addition to the companionship many of us today know and love.  What’s in it for the dog?  Well, in return, they received companionship, protection, shelter, and a reliable food source.

The earliest confirmed domestic dog anywhere thus far is from a burial site in Germany called Bonn-Oberkassel which has joint human and dog interments dated to 14,000 years ago.  Experts now agree that most of the dog breeds we see today are recent developments.  However, the amazing variation in dogs is a relic of their ancient and varied domestication processes.

One thing we can all agree on is that we are very fortunate to have one of America’s best dog trainers right here in Las Vegas.  He is Dennis Danskin.  With all due respect to Cesar Millan…when he whispers dogs listen!  If the holidays bring a new four legged resident call Dennis at (702) 327-4744 and get your extended family off on the right foot.  

A Plan for Man (Women and children too!) this Holiday Season.

Children are in your household and they are asking that magical question this time of year…when are we going to get a puppy?  Just remember during this euphoric time of year that raising a puppy when you work full time is a difficult task. It involves planning ahead, great routines and some outside help.

Puppies spend a great deal of time playing, chewing and investigating objects throughout your home.  All of these normal activities involve puppies using their mouths and their needle-sharp teeth.  When puppies play with people, they often nibble, chew and mouth on people’s hands, limbs and clothing.  That may be cute for a minute, but that’s all!

Bring Las Vegas puppy trainer Dennis Danskin into the picture.  All you have to do is pick out the perfect best friend for your family, then call him for a complimentary in-home visit.  Dennis has been training puppies and adult dogs for decades so that the behavior you seek is the behavior you will get.  Call Dennis.  You will be amazed at his prowess (702) 327-4744.    

Eliminating Territorial Aggression.

We all protect our ground as mammals at the top of the food chain.  When your dog exhibits territorial aggression toward people and other animals you may find it to be unacceptable.  Generally speaking, people and other animals that are unusual and less familiar to your best friend, are the most likely to trigger aggressive behavior.

While most forms of territorial aggression are likely to occur on your property, some dogs may protect the areas where they are temporarily housed, and they may even protect family members regardless of the location.  On the surface it is comforting unless and until they display violent behavior toward people you have welcomed into your “territory”.

This is the point at which aggressive behavior must be contained or you may actually lose your best friend!  Curbing that aggression is just a phone call away with Las Vegas professional dog trainer and behaviorist Dennis Danskin.  Dennis may very well become your second-best friend.  He’ll make a complimentary visit to your home by calling (702) 327-4744.   

The Difference Between Dog Sitting and Dog Boarding.

This is not my area of expertise, but I wanted you to know some differences between the two after you have honored me by allowing me to train your dog.  Years ago, dog boarding was your only option.  Dog boarding is like taking your dog to a hotel, except all the guests are pets!  On the other hand, there’s pet sitting.  Typically, a pet sitter will stay at your home while you’re away or stop by to care for your pets once or twice per day.

Boarding is probably the best option if your pet is a youngster.  You’ll rest easier knowing he’s getting plenty of potty breaks, attention, and social time needed to keep him happy and stimulated.  Do you have multiple dogs?  Then dog sitting may be the right choice.  Dogs who have a companion or two won’t feel as lonely as they would if they’re the only pet.

My name is Dennis Danskin of Las Vegas and I care so very much for the life of your dog long after I have properly trained it in the comfortable surroundings of your home.  If you have questions even years after the training sessions, please feel free to call me anytime.  My phone number is (702) 327-4744.

Can I Trust that Man with My Best Friend?

It’s a question you may have asked before hiring a dog trainer.  I don’t blame you at all.  This is your baby we are talking about and you need your best friend to be better from the experience of learned behavior rather than worse.  That is why I pledge a couple of things…I will train your puppy in the comfort of your own home and I have plenty of great references.

Let me just share one of those with you and then I will tell you where you can read plenty more of them.  Merrie who lives here in Las Vegas said of me…”I then decided to go online to find in home dog training and as luck would have it stumbled upon Dennis Danskin.  He was INCREDIBLY thorough and knowledgeable”!

Now, one testimonial does not a dog trainer make (even after 50 years of doing it).  So, please visit trainhumane.net on the web and read just some of the myriad of testimonials I have received.  Then, call me and I will come to your home for a complimentary visit with your 4-legged pride and joy.  I am Dennis Danskin serving the Las Vegas area at (702) 327-4744.

What if your Home was one Big Toilet?

That sounds harsh doesn’t it?  But to your new puppy that you are introducing to your home this summer that is pretty much what it is.  How is that new pup supposed to know where to go potty?  It is important to show them what pleases (and displeases) you in a calm and supportive manner to achieve the greatest success.

For example, many dogs trained to toilet on pads never quite get the idea of relieving themselves outside and become unreliable for the rest of their lives.  By teaching them to toilet on pads you are saying it is okay to go inside the house and there are dogs that don't even get the idea that they need to use the pads so continue to toilet all over the house…pads or no pads.

The idea is to achieve the desired result as smoothly and quickly as possible without a lot of mess and destruction of furniture.  Don’t blame your dog!  He does not know better.  Call on the services of professional dog trainer, Dennis Danskin.  He has been helping to toilet train your four-legged kids for decades in the Las Vegas area.  Call him today at (702) 327-4744.

In Spring Our Thoughts Turn to a New Puppy.

There is never a bad time to rescue a dog from one of our animal shelters.  Whatever your timing the bottom line is…you are saving a life!  If you just adopted a dog from a shelter or rescue group, congratulations!  Dogs who are adopted from a shelter or animal rescue can make wonderful pets.  Believe me, I know.

Wait a moment.  Before you left the rescue center, did you get an instruction manual?  You did when you got your refrigerator, your car, your water heater, etc.  As you well know, that new addition to your home does NOT come with one.  It’s the same as a new human arrival only this four-legged variety has already developed some bad habits.

That is why I live in Las Vegas.  It is one of the fastest growing areas in the United States and I love it.  There are so many wonderful opportunities this Spring to rescue a wonderful new best friend.  Let me help with the difficult part…the training.  I am Dennis Danskin, the Las Vegas area’s premier dog trainer.  Give me a call at (702) 327-4744.

Bad Behavior Starts at Home.

A New Year’s puppy has so many ways to get into trouble in his or her home.  Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!  There are things to chew, places to relieve one’s self, and all sorts of other mischief to get into.  If you have ever had little kids you made your home child proof, didn’t you?  Now it may be time to make sure that your four-legged child is properly trained.

It all begins at home.  There are less distractions than some “training facilities” that may have other canines.  Your home is the most comfortable environment for your canine to learn, and easiest for you and your future peace of mind.  I am convinced that humane dog training in one’s home is THE best way to train.

Let’s meet for free with no obligation.  No, really, if this is not the right fit for you or me or your pooch let’s find out before any commitments are made.  Call me, Dennis Danskin, anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley at (702) 327-4744 and I will meet your new best friend.  I am genuinely looking forward to it!

So, You Got a New Best Friend for Christmas.

I see it every January.  A family adopts a dog during the holiday season and is overwhelmed by the prospect of integrating it into their household.  Why do so many people try to train their own dogs?  It is very easy to watch a few episodes of a dog training show or read a few chapters of a book and think you can handle the job.

Perhaps the biggest drawback of do-it-yourself dog training is the potential lost time.  Maybe a small percentage of people can successfully train their dog without help.  If you are fumbling through the process, you stand to lose valuable moments in your dog's life that could be spent reinforcing good behaviors instead of sending mixed and inconsistent messages.

How does half a century sound?  That’s right, over the last 50+ years I have trained puppies and dogs of every breed and size.  I staunchly believe in humane dog training.  That is why my website is www.trainhumane.net.  Why not let me come to your home for a free evaluation?  I’d like to meet your new arrival.  Just call me, Dennis Danskin at (702) 327-4744.
