The second time you bring a new dog into your home, your life is changed forever. While most changes are positive, you may also find yourself wondering,  “What did I push myself into?”

Just like humans,  dogs can come with a variety of behavioral challenges  that occur in both puppy and adulthood. Challenges like…

• Use the toilet indoors.
• Destructive behaviors due to stress/separation anxiety.
• Biting, growling and showing aggressive tendencies.
• Constant barking.
• Jumping, pulling on the leash, and not coming on the call.
• And much more!

It is these behaviors that rob the joy of dog ownership  and may make you wonder if you have made a mistake bringing home your new canine companion.

As a good dog parent, I bet you’ve taken the time to search the internet for resources to help your dog overcome any behavioral challenge they face.

And like many dog ​​owners,  you’re probably still not finding success trying to piece together all the training techniques you’ve found online.

looks familiar?

There is a reason why this happens, and today I want to share why this happens, as well as what you can do to definitively solve dog training problems.

Let’s start by taking a look at the basic problem… putting together random training programs.

Why random methods ‘grouped together’ fail your dog

Just like a jigsaw puzzle, you need all the right pieces, fitting together perfectly to complete it.

The same goes for dog training…

Of course, there are many great dog training programs out there. I am happy to know that many coaches use gentle and gentle techniques. However,  when mixing and matching methods begin, things can quickly become confusing for your dog.

Now, I want you to think for a minute about how you learned how to tie your shoes when you were a kid.

Did you use the rabbit ear method? Did you teach the cross applesauce technique? Were you required to use double knots or single knots?

At the end of the day, all the methods teach you how to tie your shoes. However,  if you try to use all the methods at once, your shoes will end up in a knotted mess…

So before we go any further, I’d like to share with you one of the most amazing stories of the lady who experienced what she was like when she put a  consistent and complete method  in place against her usual mix of mediocre methods =  The Epic Fail!

If you want your dog to understand how you want him to act, you need to “speak” to them in the same language, staying consistent in how you ask for and correct different behaviors.

Unfortunately,  when dog owners try to piece things together using different training solutions, dogs often get confused and frustrated.

Often this is because the foundation is lost – the part that develops the strong bond between you and your dog, that bond of relationship, that piece that makes them feel like they should be listening!

This frustration can lead to additional challenging behaviors that make your dog anxious, difficult to manage, and feel unable to train your dog.

The worst part…  As dog behavior gets worse, many people turn to harsh training products because they feel they have no other choice.

The risk of switching to harsh, expensive and harmful training products

I know how stressful it is to feel that nothing is trying to help train your dog. This exhaustion and frustration is what often leads people to turn to harsh training products like…

• Electric collars.
• Choke chains.
• Electric fences.
• and other malicious tools.

While these solutions may give you a quick fix to your current problems, they are certainly necessary and often not a long-term solution. In fact,  harsh training products often cause more problems in the long run.

why?

Because  your dog learns from fear rather than listening to you out of love and respect.

Let’s face it, do you want to shoot an electric current down your throat when you don’t obey? Hmmm…that’s food for thought, but it’s true.

In fact, I often tell people, I know I can make my kids do anything I’ve asked them to do if I put a shock collar on them.

However, it is absolutely unnecessary and inhumane in my opinion. I feel the same goes for dog training. More than anything, it is not needed when you really understand how to communicate with your dog.

Even worse,  when you use harsh training tools, you often miss the underlying problem. This can lead to your dog developing other behavioral issues such as anxiety or aggressive tendencies – which is the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve!

The only way to truly train your dog to listen to you when it matters most is to use a thorough, calm, and gentle training program like The Complete Pack.

With the right tools, dog training doesn’t have to be a struggle

The strategy of taking small parts from a lot of different training programs and combining them together rarely works. Most of the time, you and your dog will end up frustrated and confused, which is why you’re reading this now…

The last thing I want to see is that dog owners struggle with their beloved dogs. So my advice is…

Choose one comprehensive training program that covers all dog training issues – from puppy to adulthood – and stick to it.

So let me go through what to include in a complete training program by going through my own program, The Complete Pack.

This is a collection of my online courses that give you everything you need to solve your dog’s problems. Most importantly, a calm and gentle approach helps you create a relationship, a safety net, and a way of being with your dog that will work for you in every situation moving forward.

A Look Inside Doggy Dan’s Complete Course Pack

Within The Complete Pack,  you will have access to 6 of my most powerful dog training programs. Here’s a quick look at what’s included…

1. The Dog Calming Code  –  The foundational program that teaches you how to communicate deeply with your dog so that your dog sees you as the person they should listen to all the time. With this program, you will discover the reasons behind dogs’ aggressiveness, barking, pulling on leash, jumping, not listening and general naughty behavior.

2. Everyday Tools and Techniques –  You need to have the tools and techniques to establish yourself as a leader for your dog, just as parents need to be role models and leaders for their children. The tools you will discover in this program (how to use verbal commands, long lines, quiet freeze, etc.) are the same tools that professionals use to maintain composure when it really matters when training a dog.

3. Muse’s Video Diary Project – Did you  just bring home a new puppy? One of the first things you’ll want to know is how to beat toilet training, mouth-to-mouth, biting, jumping, etc. My Project Moses Video Diary provides you with video diaries that guide you through the schedule for everything you need to know about raising a new puppy. You will watch me setting up and training a new Muse puppy from the time he was 8 weeks old to 1 year old.

4. THE PERFECT PUPPY PROGRAM –  Most new dog owners struggle to find solutions to meet the needs of their new puppies in the first few months of dog ownership. It’s like bringing a new baby home and wondering why your baby is crying all the time. This program offers all the tips, tools, and resources you need to make sure your puppy is happy and healthy, and is set up for obedience training success!

5. Dan’s Dog Training 101  Everyone wants their dog to know a few commands.

My Dog Training 101 teaches you how to lay a solid foundation using basic commands that will become essential as your dog gets older.

6. ALL DOG ​​PROBLEMS SOLVED –  If you have an older dog and things are starting to fall apart, don’t panic! Old dogs can be taught new tricks! In Solve All Dog Problems, I’ll walk you through how to fix 37 of the most common canine problems.
