It’s All About the Tone.

Have you ever heard the expression “it’s not what you say, but how you say it”?  In our politically-correct world we may have lost track of that, but when it pertains to that 4-legged best friend of yours it is ALWAYS the truth.  Your dog is not an English major, so the tone and inflection of your voice is what will elicit the desired response.

Here are a few tips for using the right tone of voice with your dog –

1.  Use an enthusiastic somewhat high-pitched voice.
2.  Verbal corrections may require a lower-pitch or sharper tone.
3.  Use a quiet, softer voice when giving affection.
4.  They won’t pay attention to a monotonous voice any more than humans do.

Is your new best friend a rescue that is new to your household?  If so, you have no idea what they may have learned from humans in the past.  The sensible thing to do is call Las Vegas humane dog behaviorist Dennis Danskin.  Please invite him into your home so that the next decade or so will leave a wonderful memory of you and your pet.  Call Dennis at (702) 327-4744.

Good Manners Begin at Home.

As you raise your child you notice that the environment you expose them to goes a long way in determining how they will behave.  Why should it be different for your 4-legged child?  Come on now, we’re among friends here.  In most households that beautiful gift which is not accidentally God spelled backwards is just like your child.

If your dog (or dogs) is trained at home, they become comfortable with their surroundings.  Very soon they understand that repeated good behavior is rewarded.  In too many cases, people believe instead that bad behavior should result in punishment.  All that does is create fear NOT learned desired habits.  Isn’t that what all of this is about…repeating good habits?

To get the desired results you turn to Dennis Danskin.  Go to the website www.trainhumane.net to better understand his methods.  Dennis is a four decade plus dog training professional in the Las Vegas valley.  You won’t know what an incredible difference his special touch will make until you invite him into your home to meet your dog.  Call him today at (702) 327-4744.

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.
