Home Repairs VS. Dog Training

As a single homeowner, I sometimes have no clue what to do when things go wrong... so many decisions to make- I need help.  I look on the internet, I watch youtube videos, I ask friends for suggestions. I feel overwhelmed! 

And then I call someone who really KNOWS what to do. I call a professional. All of a sudden the answers are there and he (or she- I'm a huge fan of Nicole Curtis the Rehab Addict!) says- well you need to do this, and this, and this. And I'm set. The stress is gone, the worry- its all taken care of - someone I trust told me the best choice to make. 

I had a recent situation at home that made me go through this AGAIN... and I got to thinking about how similar this is to dog training and how your dog feels in those moments of indecision too- just like I do.

From your dog's perspective, there are lots of times when he doesn't know what to do.. he doesn't know how to act- or the best decision to make.  When YOU step up as that professional and tell him what to do- you will see the stress and worry go away. 

Being told something to do in times of stress can change everything. Something as simple as SIT, or LET"S GO! can change the whole perspective of the situation. 

So next time your dog is feeling like he needs "help" step up and make those right decisions for him and take the worry away :)

Let us teach YOU how to be that professional for your dog !
