Consistency and repetition is how dogs learn. I teach with gentle and specific guidance so that the dog will be successful in his action. Rewards are verbal praise, treats or toys. Your dog will understand what is good and together you can practice the correct behaviors.
A combination of teaching your dog English and teaching you about Canis Familiaris will bring a good balance to your household. For example, dogs need disciplined daily exercise to be fulfilled as a pack animal. The human needs a companion that doesn't knock him down, tear the house up and bite the mail carrier.
A common schedule is to meet with me once a week for six weeks. You practice with your dog everyday for a maximim of 15 minutes a session.
