Dr. Dog Wildfire Victim -
Your Win-Win Opportunity To Help

Raging fires in Southern California... over 900,000 people evacuated from their houses... and it's struck home.

Early Monday morning, October 22nd, our friend Dr. Dennis Fetko, "Dr. Dog", received a reverse 911 call. He quickly left his home of decades with his dogs, cat, and only the clothes on his back. What he found on Wednesday was just rubble where he home once stood.

You may not have seen anything we have written about this fabulously effective man. His dog behavior training methods are among the few with which I agree almost completely. They are based on solid research with thousands of dogs and years of hands-on experience, not on a whim, fancy, or opinion. He KNOWS his stuff!

So for years, around the world Dr. Dog has been the "go-to guy" for police K9 trainers, Veterinary Associations, animal rescue shelters, as an expert witness in dog bite legal cases, interviews on television shows like "20/20," and distressed dog owners.

But a terrible, crippling accident in 1992 made it impossible for him to continue rugged hands-on work. So what to do with all that incredible dog behavior training knowledge?

Dr. Dog solves dog behavior problemsDr. Dog decided to write about "talkin' dog" - for quick, easy, even fun ways to get rid of your dog behavior problems… to communicate to him what you want him to do... and to make him WANT to do it! It's great material that will help YOU.

Since my dog behavior training book is not yet finished, I can say unequivocally that Dr. Dog's is absolutely the best 150+ page dog instruction on the internet or anywhere! Better than Cesar Milan's and other top dog training names on the internet. Solid and effective… and fun!

Grab The Scruff To Stop Dog Behavior Problems?

Hyper Sparky has some dog behavior problems. Now he's about to rush out an open door toward the busy road. Act fast!

Important! - Grab him by the scruff of the neck to remove or correct him.

Never grab a dog by the collar. Even an excited puppy can accidentally nip your hand if it's on the collar instead of the scruff. Any startled or angry dog would!

The scruff makes it impossible for the dog to whip around. It's also a natural touch from "mom" saying "we're going somewhere."

Just imagine if you were going to break up a serious dog fight. The dog bite would be worse on us than it would be on the other dog. They have fur for protection, and we do not.

Please remember this rule!

A Shelter Dog In Adopt-a-Dog Month?

October is "Adopt a Dog Month". I am personally all for adopting a shelter dog so long as the shelter has a reputation that can be trusted. I have the skills to evaluate dogs, and I know how to read dog body language to see what the dog is telling me about himself. But most potential adopters do not.

Meeting with the family who fostered the dog is important. So is speaking with any previous owners the dog has had.

I also strongly recommend NOT getting a new puppy as a gift or a surprise for a family member. Especially on holidays or birthdays, as there is a frenzy of activity that make scare the new pup.

Before you bring home a new puppy or older dog, you should sit down and determine all rules for the dog. Inconsistency really causes a lot of dog behavior problems.

You also need to research your dog breed of choice well and be sure you can handle it's care needs. Walks, grooming, etc. A dog is not a toy that you can play with when you wish. It is a serious commitment.

The truth is that many dogs were abandoned for one of two reasons:

1. The owner no longer wants the responsibility, or
2. Extreme dog behavior problems.

You need to know which it is before you give your heart to that cute shelter dog or playful pup.

It's also good to agree that "I am going to try this shelter dog for two to four weeks before committing." Sometimes, the full extent of dog behavior problems doesn't show up at first, and most owners might miss the subtle symptoms. Explicitly stating and enforcing this "trial period" will help prevent heartbreak, for we people tend to form serious emotional attachments to our furry friends very quickly!

Consider this. Everyone loves to watch Beethoven and Turner and Hooch, but it's not cute at all when it's YOUR house!

Dog Whispering - More Consistent and Effective Than Positive Reinforcement Training

The most important rule of dog whispering is to remember that dog whispering is about seeing things from the dog's point of view.

I once heard a child say, "Mommy, does dog whispering mean you whisper in the dog's ear?"

What people don't realize is that by not taking time to observe dog behavior, through positive reinforcement we are often creating dog behavior problems.

Think about it.

If Rusty jumps on you, and you remove the paws gently saying, "No, no," very sweetly, that's not serious. So as far as he's concerned, you agree with the behavior.

It's the same with getting on the bed, or the sofa. If he gets up there and nobody removes him, he sees that as saying he can get up there any time he wants to.

It is for this reason that I do not like positive reinforcement training at all. It sends too many mixed messages.

The biggest mistakes I see made are rewarding bad dog behavior with affection, or simply ignoring it and thinking that with time it will go away.

Behaviors you don't agree with have to be addressed promptly and firmly. I'm not talking about being mean. There's a big difference between being mean and being firm.

Dog whispering means listen!

Obsessive Dog Behavior - Water Crazy!

You don't have to live with the annoyance or nightmare of obsessive dog behavior problems. Consider water crazed dogs...

There are several people who have seen the episode of "Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Millan where the Yellow Lab, Brady, was completely obsessive toward water. Brady would swim constantly for up to 8 hours at a time until he was literally screaming in pain! Not to mention yodelling until he could get to the pool.

I dealt with a dog with the same kind of problem on a lower level. This dog was over 100 pounds and simply loved diving in, squeezing through the doggie door, running through the house, jumping on the couch, and doing it all over again. Not to mention giving her master a good slobber and shake before she dove in again.

"We don't walk her very much," the owner said. "She gets her exercise this way."

"And, uh... You're enjoying this?" I asked, pointing toward the soaked floor, and recoiling from the soaked couch.

"I guess that's part of it," the owner said.

"Guess what? It doesn't have to be."

I was amazed at the owner's tolerance, and still am. An obsession at that level is very annoying and not exactly easy to break.

"First off, this dog should be running twice a day, not walking. She has too much energy and a very high instinct drive," I replied. "You have two choices: Get a treadmill or a golf cart."

Not surprisingly, I discovered the dog had more obsessive dog behaviors, too. Smelling the ground and pulling on a leash like a lunatic were two of them.

Needless to say, that session ended up being a lot longer than I planned. But I stayed right there until we conquered every single problem.

So yes, even the worst obsessive dog behaviors and the most obnoxious can have an end put to them. But YOU have to be more persistent than your dog.

Enjoy the day, and stay dry.

Dog Rehabilitation -
What's The Hardest Part?

The hardest thing to learn in dog rehabilatation is that once the owner has returned, it is no longer in your hands.

That is hard to swallow. But I cannot become emotionally attached to every dog I work with to that point. Too often, you know the owners aren't really going to be consistent. That will cause the dog to go right back into his prior dog behavior problem habits, and be unhappy the rest of his life.

I would want to take the dog home ... but I would end up with way to many dogs!

If you're not providing 100% of what your dog needs, then you aren't giving him your best. If you rescued him, yes that's a nice beginning... but it's only a beginning. Are you going to confine him to a yard or house, so that all you've really done is take him from one kennel to a larger "kennel?" Then you wonder why he develops dog behavior problems?

Dogs are constant travellers. They are constantly walking or running, and it is an absolute necessity that they do it every day!

Why Does My Dog Drink Out of the Toilet?
What to do about it?
Solutions to Dog Behavior Problems

As promised, here's another dog behavior solution.

Eeeew! Gross!

That's the reaction of most people when Al has promptly helped himself to water in the toilet bowl.

"He has a clean dish," says the frustrated human who caught him in the act. "Why does he want to drink THAT?"

Considering what we do in there, it's a little hard for us to believe that this is true. The toilet bowl water is the freshest in the house, and it's always cool… not to mention very similar to the temperature the dog would generally drink water in the wild.

A dog drinking THAT happens to be one of my pet peeves. So I was determined to locate a product that could somehow help with this problem. And I did. It is a water bowl that filters itself consistently - like a fountain – so it's constantly fresh.

It also helps with some dogs who don't like to drink from still bowls. Like my friend's Springer Spaniel. The dog simply wouldn't drink enough water. They had to turn on a faucet whenever he was thirsty!

For any of you who has this problem, check this out. There are two outstanding Pet FOUNTAINS (bowls) featured on my website at Paw Persuasion's Dog Supplies and Dog Bowls -

-- Petmate Fresh Flow Purifying Pet Fountain
-- Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain

No more dog behavior problem with the toilet!

Dog Behavior Problems?
Keep at it!

Remember the dog who feared motorcycles? That is a thing of the past now.

When your pet has a behavior issue, keep at it. When confronted with dog behavior problems, consistency and persistence pay big dividends.

Dogs move on if you stick with them long enough for them to do so.

It's Me or the Dog!
Dog Behavior Problems

Let me tell you one thing. This woman is right when she says: "Feeding a dog sweets and caffeine can turn it crazy and make its dog behavior problems worse."

That is a tip about which all people should be aware.

Although chocolate can physically kill a dog, I am much more concerned about what it will do to a dog mentally over time.

I do not agree with the dog training techniques, so therefore I will not be viewing the television show another time. However, I do respect Victoria Wells and any other trainer.

But I have to admit: "It's Me or the Dog" is a very clever title! Many couples and families are in constant war about their dogs. You don't have to be.
