More Than Commands <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Every day, dogs lose their homes because they jump on the kids and dart out the front door. Shelters are overflowing with dogs who chew shoes, soil the carpet, or simply can’t chill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To live with humans, it\u2019s much more important your dog knows how to behave than it is to have fancy heeling. That\u2019s why Family Dog Training concentrates on building habits that make daily life easier for you and for your dog.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Good behavior isn\u2019t about how many commands your dog knows. <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s about whether or not those commands translate into good behavior in real life.  If you focus solely on commands, it manages the behavior, but doesn\u2019t solve the underlying problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most \u201cbad\u201d behaviors are simply a dog\u2019s way of trying to cope with anxiety, boredom, or confusion in a world he doesn\u2019t quite understand.  <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Other End Of The Leash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To figure out why your dog is struggling, we need to look at the world from his end of the leash.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s amazing how quickly dogs respond once we address what\u2019s really driving the behavior. Fearful dogs become more confident, pushy dogs discover that cooperation gets them what they want faster than bulldozing through life. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
