What a Difference!

I have a client with whom I am currently working who has a very excitable, little Terrier - and I DO mean the dog goes BONKERS when she sees people!

I got the dog to lie down with no leash in 10 minutes. Amazed, the owner did not know what to think, nor did her guests who came a few minutes later! Admiringly, they all wanted to know what had happened to her.

"You have to stay with it," I said, "until she gives you exactly what you want."

Just remember: Persistence and consistence go hand-in-hand, and BOTH are required to bring out a good dog.
