Tips From the Whisperer

Some tips for your dog and you:

Prevent obsessive behavior by establishing rules, limits and boundaries early and consistently.
Setting rules will help, not hurt your dog. He or she will see you as a strong pack leader.
Who you are to your dog is the energy you project. A pack leader’s energy is calm & assertive.
Give dogs affection when they’re doing what you want.
Everyone in the family must be on the same team when trying to get rid of unwanted behaviors in your dog.
Controlling dogs of any size requires mental strength. Leadership is always your most powerful tool!
Being self-aware and conscious of the energy we are projecting can help us become better pack leaders.
Choose a breed that fits your lifestyle. Couch potato or always on-the-go, the right dog is out there!
