Correct Your Top 10 Biggest Dog Training Mistakes!

Even "Trainers" Are Guilty of Making These Mistakes
and Believe Some of These Myths.

From the Book, "Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training"

Just by correcting these ten mistakes and misconceptions, you’ll automatically improve your chances of success to a level matching the top 1% of truly effective dog owners in the world. You may find this hard to believe, but even experienced trainers make some of these mistakes. Yes, sadly, I am referring to those who are paid to train people's dogs on a regular basis.

If you truly want to cut down on your training time and see a REAL difference in your dog’s training response, busting these myths and correcting these very common mistakes will be your stepping stone to amazing success!

Myth #1:

Dogs Were Born to Please and Serve Humans

FACT: It is actually the poor “owners” who are pleasing and spoiling their dogs left and right. Think about this for a moment. If this myth were really true, you wouldn't be reading this right now. Sorry. But you rarely run into pleasing dogs.

Here’s How I'm Going to Prove My Point:

Say your dog starts barking excessively, mouthing you, or jumping up or on your visitors. Does she stop with a simple “NO,” or do you mostly keep telling her to stop over and over again? Hmm... she’s not pleasing you there, is she? Or how about when your dog keeps on charging at your cat, another dog, or maybe at one of your guests? You yell out commands and even try to “physically” control or restrain him. Does he obey you then? I’m guessing the answer is still NO.

Here’s the undeniable fact: Your dog clearly sees that you are frustrated. It is obvious from your yelling, your demeanor and from desperately trying to control your dog. He clearly gets it that you are frustrated from him acting unruly, yet he STILL flat out ignores you. A-ha! Then again, you can’t call him a “pleaser,” can you?

Family, friends and maybe some of your neighbors can tell that your dog loves you dearly, but let’s not confuse that with “respect” or “compliance.” If all dogs are truly pleasers, then why in the world we have so many dog training books, dog trainers, dog behaviorists and even doggie shrinks out there? Think again, if this myth were really true, don’t you think that everybody would have a perfect dog with no bad manners whatsoever? No matter what the circumstances and no matter how tempting the distraction, everybody’s dogs would listen in a heartbeat and everybody would own a super-trained pooch.

You’d hear dog owners shouting across the street, “Hello there, how’s Roscoe doing?” One would laugh and respond, “He’s pleasing me all right! And how’s little Daisy coming along?” You’d hear, “Man, we never even trained that sucker. But she listens to us everywhere and every time. It’s unbelievable. As a matter of fact, we sometimes call her Lassie. Hey, just today she put my ten-year-old to shame on Twitter.”

Myth #2:

Training Ruins a Dog's Personality and Breaks His Spirit

FACT: A sure sign of an abusive method is violence! When you catch yourself or a trainer yelling, hitting or hanging your poor dog off his feet in order to make him submit or obey commands, you are definitely being harsh and abusive.

Let’s face it, not everybody in your household might be on the same page when it comes to training or disciplining your dog. You may try to enforce some kind of rules and boundaries, but it is just a matter of time when you'll be facing the wrath of the one who is usually spoiling the dog rotten. "Leave him alone and let him be happy, for crying out loud" is what most likely the spoiler of the family will tell you. Ironically, those who usually pamper the dog to this extreme, always try to defend and justify their unacceptable behavior. And what’s sad is, when it comes right down to it, the dog won’t even respect or obey “them.” So who's happy now?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Being abusive is what breaks a dog’s spirit--not enforcing rules and boundaries.
When you catch your dog making a mistake, you need to correct it, NOT punish it.
There is a big difference!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Certain training tools such as the Choke Collar, Pinch Collar, Electronic Collar, a Head Halter or even a clicker can also be misused in the wrong hands. I once noticed a dog that was afraid of a clicker. The owner kept on clicking it next to the dog's ear and the poor dog kept jumping back and cowering. That’s why it makes more sense to rely on your "voice" to mark a command or a good behavior instead of the sound of click-click. So unless you are mute or have three hands, one to hold the clicker, one to hold the treats, and another to hold the leash, there is no need for a nonsense clicking device.

Besides, humans have successfully been able to teach dogs master different commands with their voice for hundreds of years now. Click, click. BOOOM. Now take that! Clicker trainers!

Myth #3:

You Shouldn't Bother Training a Dog if He is Too Young or Too Old!

FACT: No dog is ever too young or too old to learn right from wrong, what is acceptable and what is not. So it doesn’t really matter if your dog is a stubborn old grouch or a naughty puppy.

By being diverse, you’ll increase your chance of success whether you are dealing with an 8-week-old puppy or an 18-year-old grouch. Bottom line, any dog can learn to follow your rules and obey your commands regardless of age, size, history or temperament. Yes, even your dog! Besides, can you really put up with any more of your dog’s habits? So when you really think about it, because of the age factor, you let your dog pee and poop everywhere, jump up on your guests, lunge, snap, bark nonstop, run around like a maniac or knock down the kids just because he is only a few weeks or even a few years old. Sounds like insanity, doesn’t it?

Bottom line, there are no excuses or age limit for ANY of your dog’s unacceptable behavior! Based on my personal experience in dealing with thousands of dogs, I promise you that there is no bad habit that cannot be reduced and even eliminated no matter how old or young a dog may be.

Even if your poor dog is friendly with other dogs, there will be that one odd dog that will pick on yours and attack it for no reason. Yes, just because he feels like it.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I’ve witnessed very nasty dog fights where the owner of the dog who started the fight snuck out of the dog park leaving a bloody and injured dog behind. Sadly, this results in that dog losing total trust in its owner and becoming fearful or even aggressive toward certain breeds, or worse, toward ALL dogs for a very long time or for the rest of its life.

Here’s a great way to look at it. Haven’t you met someone who didn’t like you, or even picked on you for no reason? Think of that relative, neighbor or co-worker. It is not much different when it comes to our canines’ mindset in dog parks. Many of the dogs will keep on pushing your dog’s buttons picking on him over and over again, until he can’t or won’t take it anymore and snap. And that’s when you’d see his Cujo side, a side of him that you’ve never seen or didn’t think he had in him. Now, can you really blame your dog here? (This question depends on who you ask. But Yes and NO is the correct answer.)

You know your dog better than anyone else. So if you clearly see that he or she isn’t yet comfortable with other dogs or might be terrified of them, dragging it to a dog park is a big mistake. Take dogs sniffing one another. In the dog world, when a dog sniffs another dog’s rear or genitals, that’s very similar to our handshake. But the truth is, some of these dogs aren’t ready for a handshake or maybe they just don’t want to. Is that wrong? Haven’t you met someone who didn’t want to shake your hand and left you hanging?

So here's a typical scenario with scared dogs: Dogs that are shy and timid will hide behind their owners, under benches, or run away from other dogs. In fact, if you could read their minds, you’d hear, “Please save me! All these dogs are trying to take a chunk out of me!” And the dogs that are doing the chasing are thinking to themselves, “What is wrong with this dog? What does he have to hide anyway? Why won’t he let us sniff him down there? Just stand still so we all can sniff your booty for crying out loud, and it will be all over soon.”

Plus, by sniffing each other down there, dogs gather information about one another. Just like you can tell a lot about someone’s handshake, dogs can do so by sniffing each other in their danger zone. You may find this shocking, but they can tell if the other dog is altered, dominant, sick or even what they had for lunch or breakfast.

As you can see, taking your pooch to dog parks is a gamble where the odds play strongly against you. Some of you might challenge me by saying, “But Kevin, he loves the dog park. He has a blast every time I take him there.” Well, that’s like saying, “My kids love pizza. They have a blast every time the door bell rings. We eat pizza for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks.” If that’s the case, then invite me too. I really don’t think one more Teletubby would hurt. Kids also have a blast playing video games constantly, talking on the phone, texting and surfing the Internet 24/7, but that doesn't mean it is right or healthy for them.

You, as a responsible adult and smart parent should know better. And when you don’t, you’ll definitely pay the consequences in the long haul. Taking your pooch to dog parks isn't any different.

Myth #6:

Joining a 6-8 Week Group Class is Just As Good As
ANY Dog Training Program Out There

FACT: If you carefully study your dog’s behavior, you’ll notice that the root cause of his bad habits all originated from your living room, your backyard and within your own neighborhood.

Bad habits such as: Barking nonstop, jumping up, play-biting, destructiveness, aggression or marking inappropriately are just to name a few. Let’s not forget your dog stealing food off counters, bolting out the door or pulling you on the leash. And how can we leave out issues like terrorizing your poor cat, fighting with your other dog or behaving improperly around your visitors.

You’ll improve your chances of success dramatically when you work with an expert in private. Think about it. How in the world can ANY trainer no matter how qualified he or she may be, help you with these challenging issues in a class full of ten more untrained dogs not to mention novice owners?

Here is another problem with group classes: they are not part of your typical daily routine! Ask yourself, when was the last time you ran into ten owners who were all desperately trying to make their dogs obey fancy commands? Never! You most likely run into one person walking or jogging a dog, waiting at the vet's office or when passing through the aisle in a pet store. Now these are what you call real-life scenarios! Don’t forget about the dogs that try to antagonize yours by barking excessively as you walk near their fence or even lunge viciously toward you and your dog.

The idea is to prepare yourself and your dog for those with poor skills or even worse, a poor judgment. Some of these lovely folks let their unruly dog walk totally loose as you face them with “your” out-of-control dog. Now there is a recipe for disaster. Hopefully you have your dog on a leash. If not, the movie, Dumb and Dumber comes to mind.

You see, whether someone is walking, jogging, or being pulled by their dog, you HAVE TO BE able to keep your pooch under your control. Even when you are approached by a loose or stray dog, your dog must obey your commands without losing its cool. Is that level of control over your dog even possible? You bet it is.

What’s worse about group classes is whether it is your dog behaving badly or others’, you’ll soon be disappointed to find that these classes will NOT make you “street-smart.” That’s right. You need to be prepared for the real world. The majority of owners who have tried a six or eight week group class noticed something very interesting: their dogs obeyed marvelously in that class, but acted like complete idiot at home. Or, the dog somewhat listened at home, but was never able to pay attention around other dogs or people. That’s what $120 gets you these days.

Picture this. You have your dog’s graduation diploma hanging on the wall. You went out of your way to find this cute frame that has little bones and paws around the frame. And right next to it, your poor guest is getting humped by your dog and you can’t get him to stop for the life of you. That’s Rover for you. He aced the PetSmart class with flying colors. You got your diploma alright, yet you still can’t stop his jumping and humping on your kids and visitors for the life of you. How embarrassing!

The sad truth is, trainers who teach only group classes, no matter how brilliant they may be and no matter how hard they try to be helpful, cannot do much with different owners who all have their own separate agendas.

And if you really think about it, even teaching your dog the obedience factor such as Sit, Stay, Down, Heel, or Come to You When Called are best taught in your home or in private. This is because you are eliminating all minor and major distractions that may stall your training progress.

Sadly, the majority of dog owners will never get their hands on such information and most group class trainers will never admit to it. And why should they? Now, if you are smart or curious enough to figure this out on your own, great. If not, then they’ll ask you to drag your dog to their class for six or eight weeks in a row and tell you to keep walking in circles while you give your dog treats just for being alive.

Ask anybody who have tried these classes and the majority will admit that they are a very long, slow and nonproductive process. What's even worse is they rarely allow more than one family member to participate. Let's face it, most of you can't get everyone in your family to commit for eight weeks straight. So what you’ll end up with is a dog that somewhat listens to one person and ignores or even challenges everyone else in your household.

Poor owners have no choice but to multitask in these classes. They will desperately try NOT to take their eyes off the trainer while constantly jerking the leash and telling their dog to sit...sit...sit! All of this happening while other dogs are charging, barking, whining, growling or dying to play with one another.

Look, there is nothing wrong with enrolling your dog in a local obedience class. In fact, you’ll find it beneficial, but it is wise to wait until you have actually laid out a strong foundation from your home first. As a matter of fact, all successful trainers follow four stages of training. They are: the learning stage, the correction stage, the distraction-proofing stage and finally, the maintenance stage. The “maintenance” aspect of the training is just as important as the first three.

Let me give you an example that most of us can relate to. We all know that losing a few pounds can be hard--but keeping them off is even more challenging. Staying consistent in the fourth stage of the training is like keeping those extra pounds off. The maintenance aspect is when many dog owners get lazy and fall off the wagon. It is unfortunate, since this is the stage that will give you the pleasure of having an obedient and balanced dog for years to come.

Now, if you decide to ignore the importance of these four elements and still enroll your dog in a group class, this is what I predict when I look at my crystal ball: You will be teaching your dog new commands, correcting him left and right for making mistakes, and you’ll get frustrated when he can’t fully ignore the new location, new dogs, new people, new smells, different noises or other unexpected distractions. Is this fair or productive to either of you?

As far as getting your dog socialized or getting him to respond around different dogs, this too needs to happen in front of one or two dogs before joining a group of unruly dogs and frustrated owners. I found that obedience classes are the best place for “polishing” up on your training. I’m sure you’ll agree that polishing and learning are two different things.

Myth #7:

It’s Best to Have Your Dog Look at You or
Your Cool Hand Signal Prior Giving a Command

FACT: Your dog is perfectly capable of responding to your voice without making eye contact or paying attention to your fancy hand signals.

Here’s a question for you: Would you rather have your dog “listen” to you or “look” at you? Then do yourself and your dog a favor and don’t drag your training routines by saying, watch me… watch me… watch me before each command. That’s just nagging and it stops working very fast! Watch what? When you really think about what you are trying to accomplish, you are not even asking the poor dog to look at you. It is all about the invisible treat that you are holding, so it actually only gives the "illusion" of your dog looking at you.

The majority of dog schools don't tell you this, but you only need your dog’s eyes glued to you if you want to prepare him for obedience trials. I know most of you only care for a well-mannered and obedient pet and not a super-trained dog that wins you a bunch of titles, ribbons and trophies.

Myth #8:

Don’t Ever Correct Your Dog By Saying "NO" to it.
Instead, Make Some Kind of Strange Noises

FACT: Your dog must stop dead in his tracks the second he hears the word, “NO!” It shouldn’t even matter whether it comes from you or someone else. NO means NO!

Maybe you have been a bit successful in getting your dog’s attention with strange terms such as: “Eh,” “Eh-eh,” or my favorite of all--“Baaaah,” (Doesn’t that one remind you of something you’d hear from a Klingon in some Star Trek movie?) Folks, your friends, relatives, kids and neighbors will laugh at you and have a hard time remembering those sounds. So stop the insanity!

Really think about this for a second. When you are out in public with your dog and you catch him misbehaving, can you honestly picture yourself yelling out, “Baaah, baaaah,” just because some trainer told you or you read it in some book? Even worse, in emergency situations you won’t even remember those funny noises. But saying or even yelling out "NO," comes naturally to all of us! Then let's not sugarcoat things. "NO" simply means – "NO" and your dog should stop whatever he's doing the second he hears it from anyone, any place and at any time.

Obviously Cesar Millan is able to control any dog with, “Shhht” and it works for him. But are you The Dog Whisperer? I didn’t think so! So leave that to Mr. Millan. He can pull it off and you can’t. Although I have a great respect for all Dog Whisperers out there, whispering is just not my thing. Hey, people don’t pay me to whisper my secrets to them. They want me to be loud and clear.

Myth #9:

All Dogs Can Be Trained with the Same Training Tool

FACT: There isn't that one “magic tool" that works on every dog, every-single-time. That’s the reality of it! Some dogs are just too smart, too strong, too big, too stubborn, too dominant, too sensitive, too fast or even too unpredictable for their poor owners.

So which training tools do top trainers swear by? The answer to this question may surprise some of you, but they too rely on whatever that works best for them and their dogs. So why should it be any different with you? Be smart about this. If the tool you are using on walks stops working around hard-to-ignore or hard-to-avoid distractions--try a different one. Your main objective should be getting results! Then why use something that doesn’t even seem to faze your dog when you REALLY need it to? That’s I've been preaching all along, my dog loving friend. Diversity!

Take a step back and carefully observe whether your “current” training tool is just as effective around dogs, your guests, your cat, the mailman or kids running around. If not, don't make a fool out of yourself by using it over and over again.

The majority of dog trainers are close-minded and won’t allow you to experiment with different training tools. This will frustrate you since you’ll know and see for a fact what works on one dog or your previous dogs, doesn't necessarily mean it will get you the same results with your “current” dog. This again proves that all dogs are different.

Bottom line, use what works and most importantly, use that tool correctly and humanely. And trust me, people will judge you and all you can do is, smile and tell them, "I appreciate your concern. But you just don't know much about my dog, lady. When he is distracted or focused on someone or something, this is the only tool that seems to get his attention. Plain and simple!" Be smart! Be Diverse!

Myth #10:

Don't Bother Sending Your Dog Away to Be Trained, it Will Only Result in Your Dog Obeying the "Trainer" and NOT You

FACT: All the best-trained dogs in the world have been trained by an expert first. If you doubt this, just think of the dogs for the blind, dogs for the handicapped, drug sniffing dogs, hunting, and even attack trained dogs.

Doggie Boot Camp can be a wise choice especially when you travel out of town, have a busy schedule, are a mother-to-be, or might be in the process of moving or remodeling your home. Perhaps you fall under one of those owners who prefer the actual “expert” do the hardest part for you, so all you do is the maintenance aspect of the training. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that
.
It’s no secret that “you” need to be involved in your dog’s training regardless. It's just that some people prefer to come in the picture from the beginning to the end and some prefer AFTER the dog is completely trained. I personally have found the second option to be a much smoother and less stressful process. This is because your dog goes to rehab and gets trained or even re-trained. Then comes the harder part--training YOU!

Now, for those trainers who are against Send Away Dog Training or believe it is not as effective, I can almost guarantee you that none of them have ever tried to train someone’s dog without the owner’s day-to-day involvement. In fact, if you ask any of these skeptical trainers if they ever owned a kennel, worked with someone who operates a kennel or a doggie daycare, their response would very likely be, "NO. I have not and don’t need to.”

Frustrated owners who try our drop off training can’t deny the huge improvement they’ll notice upon picking up their dogs. You'll see the eyebrow-raising difference right before your eyes! What's best about it is half of the battle and frustration is out of the way. And unlike the dogs, I've never had to ask any of the owners to spend two weeks with me so I can train them. At least not yet.

As for the trainers who insist boarding and training a dog is NOT going to work. As I mentioned earlier, is obviously due to the fact that none of them ever gave this approach an honest chance. Think of sushi. If you notice, the ones who hate sushi, are usually those who've never tried it and probably never will. I've tried Sushi and loved it. I also have trained many dogs in my boot camp without the owners’ initial involvement.

And I must admit, I too in my earlier years didn’t believe in send away dog training. But guess what? I had to try it and the level of success I achieved just blew me away. Folks, it’s just common sense. You train or rehabilitate the dog first and then the owner can’t deny that the dog was hopeless or un-trainable. Teaching and educating the owner on how to get the SAME level of response from their dog is the next step. After all, it is NOT my dog and that was the main reason they that hired me in the first place--so their dog listen to THEM and not just respond marvelously to me.

Unlike a typical dog school who insist that you try their group classes or private lessons, with us, you have all options on the table for you. And frankly, the board and train program also depends on your dog, your schedule, your travel plans, your circumstances, your expectations and, let’s not leave out--your budget.

NOTE: These ten dog training myths have been presented to you in the most condensed way possible. As you read the rest of the book, you'll notice how I confirm what I’m trying to convey with even more compelling facts. But don’t take my word for it. I encourage you to research and study all ten of these myths and mistakes for yourself. Observe some dog training classes, visit different dog parks, talk to lots of dog owners who have actually tried different methods and different programs.

I’m confident the results you’ll get by following the “Diverse Method” will be so convincing, that you’ll agree other philosophies hardly measure up to it. After all, by being diverse, you arm yourself with the best of ALL methods. And this versatility is what will make you flawless.

My Mission: To Find All the Reasons Why Dogs Didn't Thrive to Their Fullest Potential.

I was shocked to find that the "real cause" had very little to do with the dogs' age, breed,
size, intelligence, history, or even personality, but had everything to do with the
“human element.”

Dog owners and even dog trainers from all around the globe were skillfully misled, influenced and even brainwashed. Sadly, all this had a tremendous affect on their beliefs, attitude, technique, drive, sense of hope, creativity, and of course--their level of success.

Book's Description: This book takes a deeper look at modern dog training and canine psychology while it also introduces you to the next level and the future of training and canine behavior modification—“The Diverse Method.”

Think about it. If there are more than four hundred different breeds of dogs in this world, how can they possibly all respond to only one way of training? Have you ever considered that fact? You see, every dog was bred specifically for a purpose. So for any expert to argue that you can train EACH AND EVERY ONE with just Positive Reinforcement or Negative Reinforcement show their arrogance, lack of experience and diversity.

The secret is to follow a "Diverse Reinforcement" because, just as with humans, dogs don't always respond to a strictly positive or negative approach. Here's where it gets more interesting. All dog trainers know this, but don't or can't teach it in their training method.

!!! Now Did I Get Your Attention??? !!!

Look, you are definitely NOT going to be safe, smart or successful if you rely on just one way of training as a crutch. The key to greatness is to arm yourself with different training techniques that will prepare you for ANY dog, despite their age, size, strengths, intelligence, past history or personality. Again, I am talking about being "Diverse" because no method and no training tool is guaranteed to work in every situation and on every dog. That's just a fact! This is one of those rare books that will make you smile, make you laugh, make you think and even challenge you to push yourself far beyond your leash or your bag of treats. It is filled with life lessons along with my incredible journey with dogs from all walks of life.

If you are the sensitive type, you may get a few lumps in your throat. I've spent a decade writing this book, which inspired me to learn something new from every dog, every owner and every trainer I've encountered. So, in a way, the book has grown with me.

My hope is that when you finish it, both you and your dog will be able to communicate with one another much more effectively.
