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.

Treats May not be Necessary.

This may apply to your kids as well, but it is also true with your four-legged kid.  I want you to develop a healthy relationship with your dog.  Giving it treats all the time may not be the best way to promote health and longevity for your puppy.  Many people think that treat training is the one and only alternative.

However, using treats to keep her or him from barking at other dogs, fixating on those juicy-looking squirrels and birds or lunging at vehicles does not work with treats!  A professional trainer will help, and introduce you to training without treats, which is extremely successful for nearly all dog owners.

I believe in training without treats.  It is called positive reinforcement training.  Believe me, positive words and gestures are so much better than the constant expectation of caloric treats.  Allow me to demonstrate.  I am Dennis Danskin.  Call me if you live anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley for a complimentary in-home visit at (702) 327-4744.

You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks.

Baloney I say!  The phrase dates back to the early 1500’s.  Perhaps near the end of summer you have adopted a middle-age or older dog from one of the Las Vegas shelters.  First of all, you are automatically eligible for sainthood.  Beyond that, you want the rest of your new companion’s life to be as fulfilling as possible.

The list of possible behavioral patterns are many and varied.  Since you don’t know anything about your new best friend’s previous lives you have to undertake the assumption that you are starting from scratch.  What do you want him (or her) to do?  The act of sitting and staying while remaining calm are among them.

How about giving me a call and I will do a free in-home assessment of where your dog is on this scale.  Then I can begin teaching him the patterns you would like to see over the next several years.  It’s a win-win for canine and human!  My name is Dennis Danskin a 40 plus year veteran of the dog training world.  If you live in the Las Vegas area, call me at (702) 327-4744.

The Joy and Value of Getting a Puppy in the Summer.

So, the kids are home from school and having a puppy will give them a way to fill their days. They’ll train the dog and learn some lessons in responsibility along the way.  You’ll end up with a trained young dog and more responsible kids.  It doesn’t get any better than that.  And…it doesn’t always work that way!

Kids training puppies is a little like giving them the keys to the family car.  What could go wrong?  Start with this premise…puppies overheat quickly especially in Las Vegas’ searing late summer heat.  It’s best to keep your puppy inside as much as possible when it’s hot.  Do you think your kids will always respect that?

The next 12-15 years depends on the adult decisions that you make now.  A poorly trained puppy (or worse, one who has suffered from heat stroke) is not the end game.  The answer is renowned dog trainer Dennis Danskin.  There is something to be said for 5+ decades of experience.  Call Dennis for a complimentary in-home visit at (702) 327-4744.
