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 have had enough of correcting, whining, nagging, and arguing, just read this manual again, follow the directions, and change how you see things. Change is difficult.

In our example, as you prepare to exit the room, create a sound just before your dog reaches the exit. Instantly praise him. Continue to leave yourself, and if he continues to try to exit, make the sound behind him, and praise him again. If he leaves the room against your command, just repeat the command “go in the other room good boy”. This will be treated as a new request, to be carried out according to how things are working out.

Pay attention to the last time sound was used, and try to make sure that in the next instance, the sound comes from the appropriate source, i.e. if your dog went into the “other room” without sound, perhaps strictly as a coincidence, then, that time would require you to make the sound with your next request.

To review: first request, “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”; Let’s say he accomplished the request properly. When he violates the command, your next request to send him back in there would be, in actuality, his fourth request, requiring sound on this command. If you are not thoroughly confused at this point, I’m surprised. Here’s the rest of the secret: The sequence of events never starts over again, but always continues from the last instance in which the sound was used. It is imperative to try to remember the last occasion in which your dog was given a command.

For Example, he’s 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 it’s 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, “wasn’t 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 your best, and set an appointment to do the Family Pack Leadership exercise when you plan to re-install the reflex to “come”. It’ll take about fiver or ten minutes.
