Stop your dog's mistaken thinking in only a few moments and permanently cancel a behavior. Correcting it takes the entire lifetime of your dog. So you can solve behavior problems permanently quickly, by correcting your dogs behavior problems each time they occur, for all time.

When you run out of energy on whining, nagging, and arguing, just go back to the beginning and read this manual again, and change your view. Change is difficult but worthwhile.

So lets go back to the prior example using the other room command. As you prepare to exit the room after having shown him the meaning of your request, create a sound just before your dog reaches the exit or doorway. As always, instantly praise him. Continue to exit the room yourself, and if he continues to try to exit, create the sound behind him, and praise again. If he successfully exits the room against your command, simply repeat the original command go in the other room good boy. Of course, this will be treated as a new request, to be performed according to the progression of events as required.

In other words, you must pay attention to the last instance in which sound was used, and try to insure that in the next instance, the sound comes from the appropriate source, i.e.: if your dog went into the other room on his first request without sound, perhaps strictly as a coincidence, then, after youve tried to correct him from leaving, that instance would require the application of sound with your next request, which in actuality, would be his second request to go in the other room good boy.

To summarize go in the other room, good boy; second request; go in the other ROOM good boy; third request go in the other room, good boy; Suppose he accomplished your command. When he violates the command, your next request to send him back in there would be his fourth request, requiring sound on this command. Heres the rest of the big secret: The events never starts over, but always continues from the last time in which the sound was used. It's important to remember the last occasion in which your dog was given a command.

For Example, hes out in the back yard. You call him in, and he does not respond. So you reach for the can, and repeat your request accompanied with one hard downward shake to make a sound. Your dog will respond this time. Next time he is out in the yard, -even if its the next day, and he does not respond when you ask him to come in, try to recall when it was, that you last needed to re-enforce the command with sound.

You may take a moment to think, wasnt it last night I asked him to come inside, and i needed to create the sound on my second request for him to come in? Now did the sound come from my hand, or from the can? Follow through with this thinking, and make the right choice.

Do what you can and set yourself a time to do the Family Pack Leadership exercise when you plan to re-train the conditioned reflex to come. Itll take about 10 minutes.
