This book is dedicated to my most ardent supporter, CFO, and best friend, my Mommie Dearest, and to the memory of Midas, who took the first steps on this journey with me in 1982.
I am so grateful to the thousands of people and dogs I've worked with in classes and private lessons over the years you've taught me as much as I've taught you!
I deeply appreciate the generosity with which Freddie Merritt, DVM; Cindy Ice, DVM; Toni Thompson; Marianna Beard; and the late and sorely missed Patty Ruzzo both shared and encouraged knowledge with grace and humor.
Thanks to Carol Walsh, for trusting me with your baby and not freaking out when I made it my own! Amanda Wendt and Chris List, my team at The Canine Connection Dog Training, thanks for helping me keep all the plates spinning. It's been an eventful couple of years; you'll never know how much I appreciate you and your support.
To Neville, for keeping the home fires burning, and for walking the dogs on Sundays!
It's never too early or too late in your dog's life to start training.
You are training your dog all the time, whether you're trying to or not.
Your dog doesn't know English (or any other verbal language).
Being nice to your dog isn't the same thing as being permissive.
Your dog isn't born knowing it's wrong to chew your shoes.
If you treat your dog like a person, he's going to treat you like a dog.
Love isn't enough to create a well-behaved dog. He needs exercise, discipline, affection, training, and socialization.
Giving your dog people food won't turn him into a beggar.
The smartest dogs aren't necessarily the easiest to train.
Your dog is not a person in a dog suit!
AS LONG AS there have been humans on the planet, there have been dogs in our lives, from peaceful but separate coexistence when dogs were little more than the scavenging cleanup crew for our trash piles outside the cave, to the present trend of designer dogs and extravagant care of the most coddled fur-babies. Our relationships with dogs have changed a lot over time, and not always for the best.
As our relationships with dogs have changed, so have the methods used to train them. The method pendulum has swung from punish-ment-based pop-and-jerk methods, to a no-corrections, cookie-power approach, based on methods used to train marine mammals. The problem is, you can't leave your dog in the tank and go home; he lives in the tank with you. The truth is, there is no one perfect method that is going to work for every dog, every owner, or every problem. And that's okay; we're all individuals, and we shouldn't expect a one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach to work for anything but, well, for making cookies! In general, you're pretty safe recognizing and rewarding the stuff you like, and ignoring or correcting the stuff you don't. The Everything Dog Obedience Book will help you find the balance of methods that work best for you and your dog.
Unfortunately, many people wait until their dog has a behavior problem to start training. In fact, what people would call dog problems are really people problems, either because the behavior is totally normal for the dog (although perhaps exhibited in an inappropriate way) or because the person somehow caused the dog's behavior, usually by rewarding the wrong things early in the relationship.
