A Second Dog…Or Not.

It is easy to think that just because you have had success with one dog that another one will be “a great companion” for the first one.  Think carefully, then decide what is best for your 4-legged child and the rest of your family.  One plus one does not always result in synergy.  Before you start looking at local shelters and rescue facilities give it plenty of thought and discussion.

Whether you wish to admit it or not two dogs = three times more work.  Each dog needs individual training and attention.  This is not like an older sister baby-sitting her younger brother.  Dogs often teach each other bad behavior.  Bad habits will often manifest themselves in BOTH.  Have you considered your current dog’s likes and dislikes…you should!

One thing is certain.  IF you take the plunge, then start the training process off on the right foot.  Even if your first dog has been professionally trained call on the 40+ years of loving, humane dog training provided by Dennis Danskin.  Dennis will get and KEEP your household on track by assuring well-behaved additions to your family.  Call Dennis right away at (702) 327-4744.

Bringing a New Family Member into the Home.

Are you really debating whether or not to get that first dog for your home?  Have you forgotten how much your dog meant to you as a kid?  Maybe you were never lucky enough to have a 4-legged friend when you were growing up.  Don’t do the same thing to your children.  Give them the unbridled joy that a dog brings to their childhood, adolescence, and beyond.

Surely, you have heard the benefits of having a dog or two in your home.  A great dog is not only a great friend, but also a guardian, a playmate, and a teacher…yes, they teach us how to care for another life!  It has also been proven that they promote better physical, emotional, and mental health for your entire family.

Not so fast!  Having a dog without having a licensed trainer to call on is like buying a car with faulty brakes.  Without consistent humane training for a short period of time you have up to 15 years of dysfunctional behavior.  Don’t hesitate.  Make the move and call Dennis Danskin…Las Vegas’ best in home dog trainer for a consultation at (702) 327-4744.

Humane Dog Training.

Your beautiful new four-legged family member is now an integral part of your household.  Think about your dog’s reinforcement as you thought about your own when you were a child.  Did you respond better to your parents when they gave you positive or negative reinforcement?  Think about it…you know the answer.

Positive reinforcement as it pertains to your new 4-legged “child” begins with praise.  They are more likely to repeat good behavior based on how you respond to it.  As with most things, timing is vital.  Rewards need to be instantaneous.  They don’t understand complete sentences so keep it simple (KISS).

As with most issues in our lives, hiring a professional is always the right answer.  You don’t fix your own plumbing, repair your own car, or represent yourself in court.  You hire a pro.  In the Las Vegas area the humane dog training professional is Dennis Danskin.  When you hire Dennis you have another “new best friend”.  Call him today for an in-home consultation at (702) 327-4744.

For the Love of Dog.

Is it a coincidence that dog spelled backwards is god?  I think not!  For many of us that four-legged bundle of joy is life and love itself.  Some of us express it better than others, but having a companion who loves you unconditionally and gives and gives and gives so much must truly be a gift from God.

Everyone who loves dogs should see the new movie A Dog’s Purpose coming out near the end of the month.  Spoiler alert…bring plenty of tissues because there won’t be a dry eye in the house.  Step one this New Year is to seek out your new best friend at a shelter, an adopt-athon, or wherever that miracle may be waiting for you.

Step two is just as important, if not more so.  The next decade and a half depends on it.  Call Las Vegas humane dog trainer Dennis Danskin.  The results of Dennis’ dog training are amazing! Start 2017 by following steps one and two and get the year off to a perfect start by calling Dennis today at (702) 327-4744.

So You Got a Christmas Puppy…Now What?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.  Your household is celebrating one of its greatest holiday seasons.  There is a new edition to your home.  This Christmas gift does NOT come with instructions.  It DOES come with responsibility.  If you bought your kids their first Christmas puppy then you know it will fall on everyone to make this beautiful creature an integral family member.

As an adult you remember what it was like when a new four-legged bundle of joy entered the household.  There was the customary potty training, the chewing, even the possibility of fleeing the premises.  There are so many issues that occur when a new puppy enters your home and you need to get it right.  What you do next will impact the next 15 years or so.

For the last 40 years or so (that’s about 280 dog years!)  Las Vegas humane dog trainer Dennis Danskin has helped humans and their friends integrate.  The results are amazing and Dennis has the testimonials to prove it.  It is a brand New Year with a brand new family member.  Get them off to a perfect start by calling Dennis today at (702) 327-4744.

A New Christmas Puppy.

You sly devil.  You are going to surprise a loved one with a new puppy for Christmas.  It sounds like a great idea…and it is!  Before you take the plunge think ahead just a little bit.  That new addition to your home does not come with a manual.  And no matter what you think, YOU are probably not equipped to give it the training that it takes to make it a valued member of the family for many years to come.

First of all, please make sure that the type and breed of dog fits your surroundings.  A pit bull may not be right for a tiny apartment.  A Chihuahua may not be the correct breed for a house full of active kids.  Whom will be caring for the new addition…feeding, walking, paying attention, etc.?  These are careful considerations BEFORE taking the plunge.

Just as important as all of these things is training.  Get off on the right foot by hiring Dennis Danskin.  The first call that you need to make between Christmas and the New Year is to (702) 327-4744.  Dennis has trained humane in the Las Vegas area professionally since the 1970’s!  The results of that call will pay dividends for the next decade and a half.  Merry Christmas from Dennis and his family at www.trainhumane.net.

Making Your Dog a Member of the Family.

If you had a “wild child” running around the house you would probably seek professional help.  Unquestionably, a valued family member can disrupt the homeostasis of your home.  Why would you allow an improperly trained dog to rule the house?  Many people do.  They just continue to put up with aberrant behavior for as much as 15 years!

Well-behaved dog or dogs in your household will improve the mood of every human within the home.  Now, if I am going to look for the right dog trainer in Las Vegas I want someone who is independent…not a part of some national cookie-cutter organization that merely employs a local representative.  You know what else I want?  I don’t WANT to be sold a bunch of products that I don’t need!

All of this leads us to one clear-cut choice - Las Vegas humane dog trainer, Dennis Danskin.  For more than four decades he has been applying his “train-humane” style to generations of dogs.  Trust me, you will be forever grateful with the results.  Please don’t spend another day allowing your best friend to rule the roost.  Call Dennis today at (702) 327-4744.
