Leaving Town or Taking Your Vacation?
Don't Just Board Your Poor Dog. That's Simply--"Doggie Jail."

Be Honest. If You Are...

We Board, Walk, Socialize, Play With, Train AND Even Spoil Your Dog
For You While You Enjoy Your Vacation. ;-)

Don't Take Our Word For it. Download the Clip Below to See What We Do in Here!

Unlike the Majority of Trainers Out There, We Get Results with:

NO Yelling, NO Hitting, NO Slamming, NO Hanging, NO Shock Collars
and Even NO Treat-Bribery! That is What Makes Us Stand Out !!!

IMPORTANT: As you can see in the clip above, our training philosophy is based on Love, Praise, Leadership and Technique, and NOT through Hotdogs, Bacon Strips, Beef Jerky or Dried Liver. Let's be honest. You don't need to hire us or anyone else to abuse or bribe your dog--you can do that yourself just fine!

Like anything else, there is always a big difference between hiring a rookie and a Pro!!! You will NEVER get such results that you just saw in our clip, by hiring a hobbyist who trains dogs on the side, in groups, or at your local pet stores every Wed night at 7pm. In fact, we dare you to see if you can prove us wrong!

But Here's The "Real" Truth Behind This Myth: No dog trainer can argue with the fact that the most impressively trained dogs you can think of, have all been trained by an expert first. Don't believe it? Then how DO YOU explain dogs for the blind, therapy dogs, hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs, bomb detection dogs, to attack trained dogs? Yes, you guessed it. Almost all of these dogs have been professionally trained in a board and train fashion by an expert and WITHOUT the owners' involvement. The owners or the handlers came in the picture AFTER the dog was completely trained. You don't have to take our word for it. Research this for yourself.  
 
Really think about this for a moment. We are talking about those dogs that:

• Take a Blind Person to the Bus Stop/Grocery Store on a Day to Day Basis
• Bring a Dead Bird from a Mile Away Without Eating it or Even Leaving Any Teeth Mark on it
• Run like a Flying Bullet and Bite the Bad Guy on Command and Let Go on Command
• Help a Handicap Person with Their Daily Routines AND If that's Not Enough-
• Detect a Bomb Without Blowing Themselves or Their Handlers Up in the Air.

Even the most experienced trainers can’t argue with the fact that the majority of these dogs were trained by a pro!

Let's Think of the Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan For a Moment.
He Takes Dogs in His Camp All the Time

You most likely know of his show: He calls it dogs in rehab. Call it rehab or boot camp, it's the same concept. Just like playing sports, learning to play a music instrument or losing weight, as long as you stay consistent with the program and you obviously will HAVE our full support, your dog WILL remain trained and well-mannered for life. We give you a written guarantee on it.

!!! CONSUMER ALERT - BUYER BEWARE !!!

Be especially leery of trainers who refuse to give you any references. You can bet your dog's life that this is a red flag. Think about it, if they are proud of their training method and work ethics with their clients, then they should have no problem giving you a few names and there will be NOTHING to hide. This is especially important if they don't even have any group classes for you to observe. Your wallet, your dog and your precious time's depending on it. No matter how impressive their web sites seem or how convincing they may sound on the phone, don't skip this. You won't regret it. If someone's happy with you, then they won't mind bragging about you. Isn't this true with everything in life?

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.

The Honest Truth About Group Classes-(Why They NEVER Work): If you truly want to stop your dog's bad habits, joining a group class will be waste of your time and money. This is why we let you join ours after you've done a few private sessions with us. You see, regardless of how good an expert may be in problem-solving, he/she cannot do much around ten other clueless owners and their untrained dogs. You must work with an expert in private to see real and long-term results. Dog classes are best for teaching your dog the commands. They are NOT geared toward breaking your dog's bad habits. Besides, when you think about it, most of your dog's bad habits have been originated from your home or around your neighborhood first. Then if that's the case, how can ANYONE be able to help you solve these in a group setting? But group class-trainers hardly admit to this.

The Biggest Misconception about Doggie Boot Camps: Is that Your Dog Won't Listen to YOU: The truth is, all the best-trained dogs you can think of, all have been trained by an expert first. Dogs for the blind, dogs for the handicap, K-9 police dogs, hunting dogs and even bomb-detection dogs are just to name a few. Drop-off training is a wise choice if you are leaving town, have a busy schedule, moving or rather prefer the trainer to build the foundation for you. Your dog gets trained. Next is the harder part– training YOU. We Offer This Plan. Please Contact us for Details.

The Benefit Behind House Calls & Private Lessons: Just like us, your dog can learn much better and faster in private and without any distractions. This is why our team of experts offers house calls nationwide. For the areas where we don't yet have any trainer, our top trainer Kevin the Dog Prodigy is qualified to offer house calls anywhere in the U.S. Some even have him fly to their town/country.

!!! BEWARE OF THE BIGGEST SCAM IN DOG TRAINING !!!
- Compare Why Training Your Dog with Treats WILL Backfire at You -

If you honestly need to hold treats in front of your dog's nose in order for him to listen to your commands, you sadly have been misled. That's pure bribery! It doesn't take much skill OR talent to bribe a dog to death and call it dog training. Think about it. Reward is when you give your dog treats at the very END of your training session. In fact, your dog didn't even have to see or smell any treats on you, and STILL obeyed you. This proves without a doubt that he obeys and respects--YOU--and it wasn't the hotdogs talking. So don't let cookie-trainers brainwash you with cute terms such as: food-reward or treat-reward.

Besides, Would You Still Work for Your Company Once They Stop Paying You???
Then Why Should Your Poor Dog?

Whether you choose us or not, you should always train your dog with love, praise and affection and yet still surprise it with treats once in a while. Why? Because dogs don't accept money and love those treats, but as you can see, you must do it smartly. That is being fair, practical AND far more effective. Even the majority of trainers don't know the difference and tell you to give your dog treats just for being alive. Which of course always gets you quick, but very short-lived results.

You'll soon see for yourself that your bag of treats virtually stand no chance against real-life distractions. We are referring to your day-to-day common distractions such as: other dogs, cats, kids, your visitors or your mail carrier. You must aim for a dog that listens to you with/without any bacon strips, anywhere and any time because you are the leader, the provider, and not because your the one who pulled out the bag of beef jerky first.

Sometimes people learn best through experience. So you don't have to take our word for it. Let's see how far you truly get by treat-training. If your dog could talk, once you stop giving it those treats he'll tell you,

"Sorry Mommy. NO TREATS - NO RESPONSE !!!"

Despite of what you've read, heard, tried, assumed or any doubt you may have in training your dog, it's fair to say that you haven't tried us yet. So if you think that your adult dog or even young puppy is just:

* Too Stubborn,
* Too Young,
* Too Old,
* Too Big,
* Too Sneaky,
* Too Strong,
* Too Hyper,
* Too Unpredictable,
* Too Over-protective
* Or Even Just Too Aggressive to Change for the Better...

We love to give you and your dog another chance. We will explain and show you in black and white the strength and weaknesses of different training methods. You'll learn all different ways to get results and see which has been proven to work the fastest and against all odds.

Say Goodbye to All of These Annoying Bad Habits:

Housetraining or in Some Cases, Re-Housetraining Your Dog

(Value: No more wrinkle noses, scrubbing, or thinking of replacing the carpet )

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.

Nipping and Mouthing: Put an End to Your Dog’s Play-biting and Licking

(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.

Jumping Up: Stop it on You, Your Visitors, on Kids and on Glass Doors

(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.  

Scratching Doors, Whining, and Control Your Dog's Separation Anxiety

(Value: your door, your glass/screen door, and not to forget--your sanity )

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.

Chewing and Digging: End Your Dog's Destructiveness Once and For All

(Value: Oh come on. You know how much you've paid for those items and that furniture)

Learn all about why your dog chews on inappropriate items, digs holes in your yard and how to prevent it. Some owners hope that their dog will just grow out of it. Yeah. That's when you grow out of your bank account, trying to keep on fixing and buying new stuff. Some adult dogs are known to still chew on inappropriate things. The reasons are: Boredom, Curiosity, or when your dog's mad at you and tries to get even. Yes. Dogs also hold a grudge.

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.

Correct Your Top 10 Biggest Dog Training Mistakes!!! ( Good Stuff !!! )

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 star of the TV show, The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. 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 goofy as he could be. At one point, we had to leave town for a few days and unfortunately couldn’t take him with us. So, in a last-minute arrangement, my dad asked one of our neighbors to watch him for us. The neighbor agreed that he and his kids would drop by to feed and check on Tan-tan daily while we were gone. 

Just like most untrained dogs, every time the neighbor and his kids dropped by, Tan-tan became very happy and animated, and he would start jumping up from being over-excited. This always resulted in the neighbor and his kids getting dirty, muddy, scratched up and in some cases Tan-tan even knocked over the children. 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 Tan-tan’s brain.

When we arrived home, all of us were surprised that we didn’t hear our dog’s 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. Our poor dog wanted 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 to see us one last time. I’ll never forget his paw prints that gradually faded away from the middle of our yard, as well as the path that he left from dragging his body to our gate. All that love, 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 if he was 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 heartbroken we were. As a child, it definitely affected me. 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 some time spent teaching Tan-tan some basic manners. Of course, Tan-tan didn’t know that 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.

Man’s Best Friend. Myth or Reality?

They call dogs “Man’s Best Friend” and I couldn’t agree more. After all, just look at how your dog greets you every day. None of your loved ones greet you like that! It is a 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 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 would be impossible to describe the love of dogs and their loyalty 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 as I read Jack London’s stories—as if I was in the company of another fellow dog lover.

More Eye-Opening Experiences

Being a dog lover brings me to another important point about the negligence of some owners. Have you ever found yourself at a shelter 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 they were trying to get your attention with their eyes? Maybe it wasn’t their personality to be loud, persistent or as hyper as the other dogs and maybe they preferred that you notice them better by being calm, quiet and steady?

I witnessed all of this when I started volunteering at the shelters. It pains me every time I even think of the harsh-reality side of those shelters, let alone see it again 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 dog owners’ ignorance and irresponsibility.

Did you know that if you take a pregnant dog to a shelter it will usually be euthanized automatically? That was another shocking reality that was too hard for me to accept or even be able to wrap my mind around it. “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 every day, 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.

It’s Not All About the Money or Fame. It’s About Making a Difference!

You see, when someone loses a loved one in a tragic manner, or if they have been a victim themselves, some of these folks have a tendency to get involved in that particular field to make a difference. These individuals whose lives have been scarred do the work in a special way. It’s because they have their heart and soul in it. It’s not all about the money or fame for them. It’s deeply personal. Some of these folks build new organizations, help pass new laws, and donate their time, money and effort because it gives them joy and helps them to heal. 
A great example of this is John Walsh the host of America’s Most Wanted. After a child predator took his son, Adam from him, John and Revé Walsh made it their personal mission to put bad guys behind bars. Would he be as passionate as he is today in catching these fugitives if he didn’t lose his own flesh and blood in a tragic matter? I doubt it. But you see my point here. My mission is a very similar example of this.

My path, my talent and my gift to you is teaching dog owners in need how to understand, communicate and train their dog without any abuse. Most importantly, my goal has been to help people do this in 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 in person. So I’m hoping that perhaps my book can help me make a lasting impact in the lives of many more of “Man’s Best Friends” for years to come.

Some ask me why I am involved in this line of work. 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.

How Many Dogs Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?

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.

Written by Kevin Salem - Head Instructor of Sacramento's Real-Life Dog Training.

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
link it back to Dog Secrets .com. This isn't mandatory, but will greatly be appreciated.

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

My main goal is to open your eyes, to make you smile, to make you laugh, to make you think, and most important of all--to help you succeed.

Kevin Salem has earned his nickname- The "Dog Prodigy". He is the author of a soon to be published book, 'Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training" - Revealing the Best & Worst Ways to Train Your Dog.

One thing is for sure. Forget everything you ever knew about dog training and dog trainers. They simply do NOT apply. And Kevin will prove it to you once you read a few of following articles, which some are from the chapters of his soon to be published book. You will never look at training your dog the same way again.

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.
