NOTE: Basically We Turn Your Cujo Dog into a Nice Family Pet ( Not a Soldier or a Robot) and Your Unruly Dog to a Dog That Will Listen Even if He Manages to Bolt Off Think about it. When there is a leash law, doesn't make more sense to have an off-leash trained dog? No matter how careful you or your family think you are, dogs still get free and chase, attack, bark, jump, nip, mark or try to attack other dogs for no reason. So if you think about it, you don't always have your dog nearby or on leash. Do you? The Dream Plan is called the dream plan for a reason. The is the plan that will help you

Stay Command (up 20 min to an hour) Yes. Your Dog Will Relax and Fall Asleep
Off-leash and Distance Response Because No Matter What, Dogs Get Loose
Distraction-Proofing Secrets that Work Anywhere and Anytime
Voice Control - That's right. No need to get louder and louder

So whether you tell your dog: Off, Leave it, Gentle, Hush, Drop it, Be Nice, Come, Stay, Get Down (and by Get Down, we don't mean dancing) or Off from a Distance, the Dream Plan will Eventually Get Your Dog Off-leash Trained. And that Truly is ANY Dog Owners' Dream Come True. Isn't it? With three Hundred more, you get to upgrade to dream plan.

You never know how your dog’s temperament and behavior could change years from now. People change all the time.What makes you think your dog won't?

This is why our lifetime package just makes sense and it is strictly a Lifetime Membership for YOU and for as long as you live in town and remain a dog owner. Whether you own one dog, or twenty dogs at a time, you don't pay us a dime more. That one time fee of $800.00 covers you for unlimited private lessons in your home and lifetime of group classes.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Imagine walking in your clean house that doesn’t smell like your dog’s poop and pee anymore. No more arguments on why you got a puppy, or who should/shouldn’t clean up after the dog. You’ll know whether your dog’s marking, whether it's confused, suffers from a urinary infection, or knows exactly what’s going on, but simply doesn’t care and wants mommy to clean up after it, for rest of its life. Owning a dog should be a joy, NOT you becoming its slave.

What makes you frustrated even more, is dogs usually do it more on a rug or carpet. You can almost hear your dog laughing as it eliminates saying: “Here clean this. Scrub that carpet woman. Scrub it. That’s right. Clean up after me.”

I’ve seen dogs literally walk across the wooden floor and the marble, and pee right on the carpet or worse, on your favorite Persian rug. Don’t you hate that? We’ll say goodbye to those days as I will show you exactly what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong to fully housebreak your dog.

(Value: NO more bruises, no more scratches, no more dog spits, AND--no more pain)

Shoving your finger down your dog's throat, saying OUCH, or yelping like a wussy puppy doesn't work. Replacing your hand with a toy also has short-term effects. Your dog will get bored of the toy very fast and would want to use YOU as a chew toy instead. Is that wrong? After all, you are more animated, soft, warm, and have different yelps every time. And your dog just loves it.

Let me show you how to stop this, before it gets completely out of hand. You will not have to slam your dog on its back, or even swat it in the face or anywhere else. This makes your dog afraid of you and most importantly, it will make it hand-shy. Always use your hands for loving and praise and not for punishment.

Whether your dog’s constantly nipping at you to play or to get your attention, it should stop immediately.

(Value: No more getting scratched up or dirty or keeping your dog away from guests )

You can turn your back, cross your arms and ignore your dog by standing still, or even keep kneeing it in the chest, hoping it gets the point. All these methods stop working. You may also ask your dog to sit for you, but the minute you say OK, your dog will knock you down like an old blanket all over again.

You can knee your dog, but unless you are Bruce Lee or about to compete in a kickboxing competition, you can knee it until your skirt or pants rip, but your dog will keep on jumping on you, again and again, thinking it's a game.

I'll outline a step-by-step program on how you can have your dog accept your absence, without any barking, whining or throwing a tantrum. As much as dogs were born to be a pack animal, they can still be taught to be independent. You don't want a dog following your room to room like your shadow day and night. Doesn't that feel more like a stalker rather than a pet?? You should be able to have some peace and quiet when you want to. If not, then keep getting stalked. It's your choice.

Barking: Stop and Control it in Your Presence or Absence

(Value: Your eardrums and a fresh start with your angry neighbors)

Stop and control your dog's barking around visitors, the mail carrier, other dogs, cats, the kids, or when you are away. You don’t want an evil or not so bright neighbor of yours do something unimaginable. I’ve heard many horror stories of dog owners ignoring or DENYING that it is their dog with the barking problem, resulting in a disaster. Some got sued by their neighbors. Some found their gate wide open with their dog being gone. And in a worst case scenario, some found the poor dog poisoned. Is your dog’s excessive barking worth his/her life?

You’ll learn exactly how to let your dog know that barking is allowed, but NOT excessively. Bottom line, it should—always—stop when you give your dog the “HUSH” command.

Leash Pulling - Stop that Hacking Noise and Finally Enjoy Your Walk:

(Value: Keep your arm from coming out of its socket and feel the circulation back )

Finally be able to teach your dog walk on a loose leash through the entire walk, and even around
distractions. Obviously we’re talking about REAL WORLD distractions such as: other dogs, cats, kids, moving cars, squirrels, and joggers.

Bolting Out the Door and Teaching Boundary and Perimeter Training:

(Value: You won’t have to squeeze through your front door anymore)

You will be able to leave your front door wide open, without constantly reminding yourself, or the rest of your family members to keep the door shut. Your dog will learn to stay and hang out in your front yard. You won’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on a shock collar or an invisible fence.

Not Coming When Called - Come on Command even Around Distractions:

(Value: No more looking funny by yelling and chasing your dog in circles )

Learn how to get your dog to come to you, even when loose and from a distance. This hands down is one of the hardest commands to master. Even dog trainers’ dogs don’t always come to them. You’ll find out why dogs ignore us on come command, and exactly how to get your dog come to you every time.

Growling, Snapping and Lunging Toward Strangers, Dogs and Kids::

(Value: Be able gain control of your dog around these tempting situations)

Whether your dog is being overprotective, aggressive, or it’s giving a warning, you should know how to
predict and prevent it from getting worse. This is where a typical obedience trainer’s knowledge and
expertise runs out. You definitely need to work with someone who is familiar in handling dog aggressive
tendencies and has years of experience dealing with difficult cases. Kevin is one of the few in the
industry who welcomes such cases. Others will most likely tell you to put up with it, or put your dog
down.

How and What Inspired Me to Get into the World of Dog Training.

The Tragic Childhood Incident
that Shaped My Path and Keeps Me Going!

I must have been about twelve years old. We had a yellow Labrador Retriever who my father named after the Rin Tin-tin show. Since my younger brothers couldn't pronounce or remember Tin-tin, we settled for Tan-tan instead. This dog truly was an awesome watchdog that was very loyal and loving to all of us. Just like most labs, he was always as happy, hyper and as goofy as he could be. We had to leave town for a few days and unfortunately we couldn't take him with us. So in a last minute arrangement my dad asked one of our neighbors to watch him for us. He agreed that he and his kids would drop by to feed and check on him daily while we were gone.
Just like most untrained dogs, every time the neighbor and his kids dropped by Tan-tan became very happy, animated, and would start jumping up from being over excited; which always resulted in them getting dirty, muddy, scratched up and in some cases even resulting in knocking down the neighbors' kids. Our neighbor finally got fed up with this, and grabbed our shovel and slammed it across the poor dog's skull. This blow was severe enough to cause a hemorrhage in his brain.
When we arrived home, we were surprised that we didn't hear his usual happy yips and yelps... you know—the kind that most dogs make when they greet their owners.
My dad tried to push the gate open but noticed it was stuck. With a few more attempts, he finally managed to push it open only to find Tan-tan's stiff dead body pressed against our gate. The poor dog tried to see us so badly, that he somehow managed to drag his half-dead body from the center of our yard to the gate, and died waiting on us. I'll never forget his paw prints that gradually faded away from the middle of our yard, and the rest of the way he just dragged his body all the way to our gate. All that devotion and effort just to see us one last time.

That was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. Another neighbor told us later how hard it was watching Tan-tan suffer. He said the poor dog was pacing back and forth, crying, and howling day and night. They didn't know whether his crying was due to him missing us, or was he in some sort of pain. They noticed his dish was still full of his food. Just how we left it and the poor dog was dying from pain and sorrow.
You can imagine how heart broken we were. As a child, it definitely affected me more than I’d anticipated. At first, I thought of that neighbor as an "evil" cold-blooded person. I know now that he may not have been a bad person, but he was trying to stop our dog from jumping up on him and his kids. The whole sad and senseless loss of a dear pet could have been avoided with a little training and teaching Tan-tan some basic manners. Of course, Tan-tan didn't know and I didn't have the sense and knowledge back then to realize that it was OUR responsibility to teach him to greet visitors politely.

They call dogs "Man's Best Friend" and I couldn't agree more. After all, just look at how your dog greets you everyday. None of your loved ones greet like that. It is happy, real and genuine love that is impossible to fake. From that day on I developed a very strong love and attachment toward dogs. I found myself rescuing them while assisting different dog trainers, volunteering in kennels, shelters, and by fostering them and finding them a loving responsible owner. I started reading most of Jack London's books in which he relates to dogs and wolves. Part of the reason why London describes dogs and their loyalty so well is because at one point in his life he was homeless and literally lived with stray dogs on the streets and under bridges.

It's impossible to describe dogs’ love, loyalty and compassion that well, without being involved with them on a much deeper level. Somehow, you always know when you meet a dog lover, and that's how I felt in Jack London's stories—as if I was in front of another fellow dog lover.
Being a dog lover brings me to another important point about the negligence of some owners.

Have you ever found yourself in a room full of caged up barking dogs that have less than twenty-four hours to live? Have you had them lick the tip of your fingers through the fence, look you in the eye, and keep on barking, whimpering, pacing back and forth and getting on their hind legs begging so you rescue them and save them from being killed? Have you noticed the ones lying in the back shivering from fear with no more hope or energy left in them yet still trying to get your attention with their eyes? Maybe it wasn't their personality to be loud, consistent, or as hyper as the other dogs and maybe they preferred that you notice them better by being calm, quiet, and steady?

It pains me every time I even think of this harsh reality, let alone see it with my own eyes. Even "tough-hearted" dog lovers find themselves tearing up. Why do these dogs have a twenty-four hour tag on their cages? It's simple. Because there is just no more space, no more budget, and no more people who are interested or WILLING to adopt them. So it's just easier to kill them all with a lethal injection and make room for other dogs. How sad. When you really think about it, clearly, the dogs aren't at fault here. This is another example of man's ignorance and irresponsibility.

Did you know that if you take a pregnant dog to a shelter it will be euthanized automatically? How can they be so cold and cruel you ask? As I already mentioned it’s because there is no time or staff to take care of a pregnant dog, let alone take care of her pups.

Folks, this is the harsh reality we are facing with millions of dogs everyday, not only throughout the U.S but all around the world. Yes. Millions. If you are a dog lover, a true dog lover, it will be hard to hide your feelings. I was raised the old fashion way that men just don't cry, but these dogs bring tears to my eyes every single time. If I could, I would take them all home with me. Ninety percent of the time the reason these poor dogs end up in shelters in the first place is due to the owners lack of knowledge, commitment, dedication, training technique and of course, by neglecting the importance of spaying and neutering their dogs in a timely manner.
When someone loses a loved one in a tragic manner, or if they have been a victim themselves, they have a tendency to get involved in that particular field to make a difference. These individuals whose lives have been scarred do a much better job. It's because they have their heart and soul in it. It's not all about the money or fame for them. It is deeply personal. Some of these folks build new organizations, help pass new laws and donate their time, money, and effort because it gives them a joy and helps them to heal. As you can see my mission is an example of this.

My path, my talent, and my gift to you is teaching you how to read, understand, communicate and be able to train your dog without any abuse. Most importantly, help you do it the best, and fastest way possible. But as ambitious, tireless, and determined as I am, I still cannot help every dog owner and dog trainer around the world. So I'm hoping that perhaps my book can make a lasting impact in the lives of many more of "Man's Best Friend" for years to come.

Some ask me why I do this. Now you know. My drive comes mostly from the love of dogs. If everything happens for a reason, then I guess I had to lose my dog in a tragic manner in my childhood to be able to save thousands more today.

Australian Shepherd: Just one. While the rest herd the property for any more light bulbs or even light switches that need to be replaced.

Pit Bull: As long as I'm here, nobody can change ANYTHING. Not as long as I'm around. NO WAY.

Golden Retriever: It doesn't matter. Even if someone breaks in, I will find the flashlight for them and show off all of my toys and will play fetch nonstop. I still got lots of toys that squeak.

Rottweiler: Won't you-- MAKE ME!!!…..Just try it.

Labrador: Oh me, me!!!!! Huh? Huh? Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change it! Can I? Can I? You sure you only want me to change it? Too bad these bulbs float, or else I would even change the ones from way under the pool.

German Shepherd: Roger that. First of all, I need to see if that is truly a light bulb or a bomb. Second, I should check for any intruders still left in the premises. And third, see if they are still around, so I can sink these nice set of canines in that arm and keep on swinging from it. Not really. Any arm will do.

Maltese: Let the German Shepherd do it. Cocky bastard. You can fix my hair. Yes. Of course piggy tail. What else?

Saint Bernard: Man, I still got the hangover from last night and you're worry about a stupid lamp. Look. I threw up a few times and can’t even wipe my own slobber. Those bitches once they're in heat, REALLY know how to party and I got hammered.

Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring, check for any hazards, and let you know how long that light bulb will actually last.

Weiner Dog: Yeah right. You know that I can't reach that stupid bulb! Hello? Besides, those big scary dogs just love to floss their teeth with me. And with/without any light they always find me. I guess it's because I just can't shut up. Can I?

Siberian Husky: You mean just yank it out of that ceiling and take off with it for miles without even looking back?

Minature Pincher: Why? I can still bite ankles in the dark.

Jack Russell Terrier: Dude, I have cats to chase, rabbits to hunt, and make my owners catch me if you can game. Besides, I will pop it again with my constant bouncing around anyway.

Bassett Hound: Leave that thing off. I am so tired and sleepy and I love it when it’s dark. Too much light hurts my eyes. Why do you think my eyes are so freaking red all the time? Noooooo. I told you a million times that I DO NOT smoke pot. Gosh!!!. I only slept fifteen hours today and you kept on bugging me. ZZZZZZzzzzzz.z.z.z..z..z..z.

Chow Chow: Nope, don't change that light bulb, don't brush me, don't bathe me, don't medicate me, and don't ever mistake me with a goofy bear.

Poodle: Oh come on. Give me a break. Who wants to mess up the hair for a stupid light bulb? What if the minute I even try to install it, it burns my fro. I mean come on. The fro is back in style and these curls don’t just happen, you know. Did I tell you I just got my nails done at Poodle Nook Salon today?

Lhaso Apso: Why change it? I can still mark every corner of this house blindfolded.

Doberman: Let them break in. I always wait in that corner and never make a sound. By the time they notice me, my teeth will meet their crotch. Then we’ll talk about who’s really going to get neutered tonight. GRRRRRRRRR.

Beagle: Light bulb? I don't sniff any light bulbs? What's the point. I will pop it again with my long barks anyway.

Boxer: Come on dude. Listen to my name.. BOXER? Who needs to change a light bulb when I can just box and knock out the intruder. Once they grab me by the collar, then I'll show you my psycho dance, that is guaranteed to break those fingers.

Chihuahua: Yo quiero TACO BULB?

Pomeranian: Hey, I was a chow in my past life. So don't you dare make me do anything.

Bulldog: No way Jose! Last time I tried that crap, I landed flat on my nose.

Bichon Frisee: Let the bulldog or the pug do it. Cute dogs don't have to work. Besides, all they do is snore and snore alllllllllll night anyway.

Pointer: I see it. There it is. That one right? Yep I see it. There it is. Right there.. hmm.. although it is not moving. I wish they have light bulbs in the jungle. That way I could point out those squirrels even better.

Greyhound: I told you people that I only move off that couch for rabbits! Plain and simple.

Afghan Hound: Light bulb? What? Huh? I'm sorry, what is that? Back in mountains there are no light bulbs. Besides, everybody knows that I don’t need a silly lightbulb to prove how gorgeous I really am.

Mr. Salem has successfully trained over 8,000 dogs nationwide and is the creator of this award-winning site - Dog Secrets .com. He wrote this joke about ten years ago. You might have read a shorter version of it here and there. Some made it shorter and changed the order of different breeds and their comments, but once you compare it, you'll notice that they were all originated from this source. You'll appreciate the same kind of humor throughout Kevin's book, "Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training." A Free Download for Everyone. It is a very funny and smart book.

Dear dog lover,
You are welcome to post this joke on your web site, web log or in any other
my space type account. All I'm asking is to be kind enough to

Thanks again for sharing the smile and the love for all the dogs. Kevin Salem

Let's face it. Dog training, true dog training,
and doing it the--RIGHT WAY--is an art. This is one of those arts that
even those who call themselves a dog trainer, have not yet fully mastered.

So we can honestly label them as--"Secrets". If they weren't secrets,
don't you think we'd see more trained dogs among us?

Everybody would know how to train their dogs correctly
and we all would have a perfectly trained dog with no bad habits.

Let me prove it to you that the dog you’ve always dreamed about, is the same dog you've had all along.

Take out the guesswork and find out which training methods REALLY work, which do not, and which eventually stops working.

What you'll gain from applying our Diverse Method is a smart combination of hands on training, understanding dog behavior, as well as applying canine psychology, resulting in a well-balanced, well-mannered and a happy dog. Let me repeat that!

A ( Happy Dog). Not a soldier or a robot that listens only from fear, yelling, and has no spirit or personality. If that’s what you’re looking for-

Call it by Choice or by Chance... You Ended Up on Our Site for a Reason.
I am a Strong Believer of We Experience Things in Life for a Reason.

Whether you need my help with your dog or not, be sure to read the first chapter of my book (20 Reasons Why Your Dog Doesn't Listen to You). This is available on our site at absolutely NO COST to you.

After reading it, you'll discover how you've actually been misled by most dog training sources which are advertised everywhere. When I say most, I am referring to ninety five percent of all dog books, dog sites, training schools and even doggie behaviorists out there.

Now think about it. What are the chances of you running into that five percent? That five percent who ARE on top of their field and KNOW how to deliver real long term results? Before you draw your conclusion about me or about this site, you owe it to your dog to at least read the 20 Reasons Why Your Dog Doesn't Obey You. It will give you an idea of where you're at with your dog, and what you want to accomplish from here on.

And if you hate reading,, (Wow. At least you’ve made it this far). Watch my video clip. I promise you that it is one of the most eyebrow raising videoclips you ever seen. It is for those who prefer Real World dog training, as suppose to robotic competition training.

My promise to you is: you’ll never look at the world of dog training, trainers, and training techniques the same way again. It will definitely open your eyes and your mind.

Thank you for allowing me in making a positive change in your dog's life and temperamen.

Nasty Predictions of Untrained Dogs:

• Putting up with a disobedient dog that constantly jumps up on everyone, play-bites, steals food off tables and goes crazy just because someone rang the door bell.

• A dog that listens only when you are holding a treat, yelling or have to get physical with it.

• Adding more stress in your life than you already need due to your dog not being fully housebroken, or because of its inappropriate marking. Not to forget a stinky house and the fear of replacing the carpet. Which will cost you more than ANY of our training programs.

• Having a dog that only comes to you when he is ready, and stays for however long time-- HE--feels like it. I hope you don't call that a TRAINED dog, do you?

• Changing your routes the minute you run into other dogs. God forbid your dog sees another person walking a dog, and all hell will break loose.

• More embarrassment and looking like an idiot when your dog flat out ignores you around your guests, your cat, or just because you wanted him to run free, so he'll have some fun and get all that energy out for crying out loud.

• A dog that yanks your arm out of its socket and doesn't care much about knocking down your kids, begging, whining, scratching doors, and running around like a maniac from room to room, couch-to-couch, with no sense of boundary or respect for your house, your kids or getting you dirty and scratched up.

• Being ignored once you unhook that leash. You literally notice your dog forget everything you taught her and gone deaf. Or you swear you became invisible. This is especially common when your dog sees a cat, another dog, squirrel, or just people walking by.

• Friends and relatives who hate dropping by because you can't seem to have any control over your dog or even worse, making ridiculous excuses for its unacceptable behavior. Let's not forget veterinarians who can't stand putting up with you or your "psycho" dog.

• Constant arguments in your household and with your neighbors, due to your dog barking nonstop inside, outside, through the fence or at any little noise.

• Running, screaming and being embarrassed chasing after your dog in the neighborhood. Sometimes forget being on foot, you have to get the car.

• A dog that is over-protective and snaps at other dogs, at your guests, and in worst case scenario, even at--YOU--and your loved ones.

• Never be able to fully trust your dog around kids or toddlers.

• Paying thousands of dollars because of your dog's destructive chewing, destroying your plants, the sprinkler system or your fancy furniture.

• Force to pay lots of vet bills from your dog attacking other dogs, or worse, constantly picking fights and bullying your other dog whenever it darn feels like it.

• Getting sued, which could cause you a great financial loss, losing your home insurance, and leaving you no choice but to find your dog a new home or even being forced to put it down.

!!! Now, Answer This Honestly !!!
Do You REALLY Want to Live This Way???

This is not why you got a dog, was it? Isn't having a dog supposed be a loving experience that is fun, healthy, balanced and a bond that you want to remember positively for rest of your life?

Bottom line is, it's your choice to end your headaches, embarrassments, arguments and the physical and mental pain you and your family go through, for putting up with an unruly dog!!

Try our services, or at least try my book. The download is really FREE.
The more you put this off, the worse it's going to get. Trust me when I say this. Your dog's bad habits will NOT go away on its own or as it gets older. Are we humans known to become perfect citizens as we age? Some of us, yes. Getting older doesn't always guarantee getting wiser or nicer, and it's no different when it comes to our dogs.

Also, you don't have to put up with your dog's unacceptable behavior just because it happens to be a 9 week pup or a 9 year old stubborn adult dog. Your dog is never too young or too old to learn what is allowed and not allowed. What's right and what's wrong.

I have helped thousands of frustrated dog owners like yourself and love to give you and your dog an honest shot. Just don't forget. Your dog as smart as he/she is, cannot think for itself and is depending on YOUR best decision here. Make sure you make the right one.
