Hi Tina, depending on how long you have been using my techniques it can take a little time and patience to work on some of the more intense behaviours. Remember that your dog will see each new person/dog/thing that passes your fence as a different threat and it can lead them to feel the need to alert you. An exercise I use a lot when dogs have a particular area of the home/garden where they focus their barking is Stop, Start, Change Direction. You can use this exercise proactively or reactively and it’s a great way to help remind and reassure dogs that they have no role to play here! My website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com shows you very clearly how to achieve this…All the Best, Doggy Dan

Hi Art, what a great thing to do with Teddy! Dogs can be very therapeutic in those types of environments, especially for residents who have owned dogs previously, or who just may love them as well! Keep up the great work, Doggy Dan

Thanks for sharing your story Jaqui! So happy for you that your dog is starting to feel more confident under your guidance. We do have a section on my membership website that covers toilet training for adult dogs, often it can be a behavioural issue rather than the dog simply not knowing what to do…..although if your dog has never lived indoors then this is also possible! Keep up the great work! Doggy Dan

Thanks for the great feedback Annmarie! The solution to our dog’s unwanted behaviour doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be meaningful and relevant to our dogs…that’s what I love so much about our program AND when applied correctly and consistently… it works! So happy for you that things are calming down in your house…Keep up the great work! Doggy Dan
