Unpredictable!
What All Dog Owners AND Trainers Fear the Most
From the Book - Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training
(A Game-Changer in Dog Psychology!)
If your dog has a dark, evil, or even a psycho side,
this chapter will expose every red flag you can imagine. Experts
refer to these dogs as “Ticking Time Bombs,” “Loaded
Guns,” or “Red Zone" cases. Regardless of the
category you choose to label them, you’ll agree that they
need some serious help.
In other words, if your dog shows any of these
signs, you will NOT be able to get him trained or rehabilitated
by hiring just any dog trainer. In fact, most trainers
and dog schools would refuse your case. Even worse, the majority
will tell you there is no hope, or to get rid of your dog.
And if you make the mistake of taking such dog
to some weekly obedience class, he'd thank you for bringing him
to a canine buffet. As he's licking his mouth
and rubbing his paws, the thoughts crossing his mind would be,
"Wow. All-I-can-eat people with their doggies for
eight weeks straight! Who can beat that? Once I'm done, I'll floss
with that wiener dog that won't stop his annoying barking."
Okay. Let's get right to it. Here are the-
10 Warning Signs that
You Should Worry About!
WARNING SIGN #1:
Viciously Lunges at Dogs
or People
Does your dog show aggression towards other dogs or people and
absolutely nothing you say or do seems to get his attention? Does
he sometimes go as far as correcting and biting YOU in the process?
These are the dogs that once they find themselves in the zone,
block out everything and don’t even care for anyone's
safety. They are totally fixated on someone, another dog, a cat,
kids playing, or it could be a cute squirrel.
As an act of defiance, you may see your dog bite the leash or
your clothes and won’t let go. How about taking it one step
further by tugging backward in an attempt to really get the leash
out of your grip or stand up on his hind legs to bite your hand?
To intimidate you even more, you may see him growl and snap at
you.
Folks, this is not a tug-of-war game and your dog knows
it very well! In a way, he's telling you, “NO! You let go
of the leash, human!” Or, “I can walk myself just
fine. Just let me go!”
WARNING SIGN
#2:
Attacks When You Get Near His
Food, Bone or Toy
Every time you get close to your dog while he's eating or chewing
on something, does he tense up, pause, or growl? Look for a curled
lip, a stomp, or a crouching position. In a sudden move, he may
even lunge and block his dish with his head so you keep your distance.
Some of these dogs growl the entire time they're gobbling down
their food.
Unless you want to lose a finger, don’t try anything brave
or sneaky on your own. This indicates that your dog doesn’t
fully trust or respect you. This is worth repeating: Your dog
needs to trust and respect you and never ever challenge
you!
Some of these dogs hide or run away after they steal something
and when you finally catch up with them, they lunge to really
bite you. Again, a dog that sees you as its leader would never
dare to behave this way and would leave your funky underwear alone!
WARNING SIGN #3:
Growls or Actually BITES
When You Move or Restrain Him
The dog is just relaxing and you try move him, grab him by the
collar, or attempt to pick him up, does he snap or growl at you?
Sometimes you could simply be trying to move him off your bed,
off the couch, or just off your lap—and that’s when
he loses it. Here's how some of my clients described it: Kevin,
all I did was accidently bump into him, and that’s when
he lunged and bit me.
How about when your dog is sound asleep and you try to wake
him up, does he full-on charge at you? “How dare you disturb
me? You moron! Can't you see that I was sleeping like a baby?”
is basically how your dog’s trying to make his point.
This usually happens to those of you who have a ridiculously
spoiled dog. Admit it. Your dog is allowed everywhere!
He takes naps on your couch, on your bed, and even on your lap.
So in a way, he is gradually taking over and actually sees himself
as your equal. (This is what you get when you are tooooooo
nice!)
WARNING SIGN #4:
Shows Teeth or Snaps at You Every
Time You Correct Him
When your dog can't get his way, does he charge at you or bite
at the air? Sometimes this goes far beyond the curled lip or a
growl, and you actually hear the sound of those lovely teeth snapping
shut.
Do I really need to spell it out for you? Folks, the only reason
a dog would snap at you to this degree is to scare, challenge
or to dominate you. How else would YOU define it? Don’t
forget that dogs are much faster than you think and rarely miss.
After all, they can catch a fly in midair. Bottom line, each snap
was a warning for you to back off, or the next time those canines
will dig in and cause some serious damage.
WARNING SIGN #6:
Is Very Unpredictable Around
Dogs, Kids, or Your Guests
Does your dog have a favorite person or pet to pick on by attacking
whenever he wants? To be exact, are you walking on eggshells with
your dog because you are not sure of his unpredictable nature?
One day, he loves the kitty and the next day, he wants to kill
the kitty. One day he gives you love and kisses and the next,
he tries to bite off your finger. One day, he loves your other
dog and the next, he wants all dogs gone.
Believe it or not, this, in your dog’s mind, is pure
power. Here’s how he perceives it, “I am one
unpredictable Cujo and everyone knows NOT to mess with me. Just
watch how everyone tiptoes around me. I love this! GRRR. ”
WARNING SIGN #7:
Gets in the Middle of Your
Arguments OR Affections
Every time you are engaged in an argument, does your dog start
barking, growling, charging, mouthing, or pacing back and forth?
How about jumping up trying to nudge at you or the person with
whom you are arguing? The other individual could be your spouse,
boyfriend, girlfriend, a friend, or one of your kids. But the
dog always barges through and tries to control the whole situation.
It gets worse. Some of these dogs don’t even let you hug
or show each other any form of affection. They honestly think
that they own you and push their way through and jump,
nip, whine, or bark nonstop, so you will stay away from one another.
Sorry, but this isn’t cute or funny and a clear sign of
weak or zero leadership on your part. It's simple. The dog is
trying to wear the pants in the house and wants everyone else
in their speedos.
WARNING SIGN #8:
Graduated from Sissy Bites
to "Serious" Bites
Has your dog graduated from little bites to major bites that
actually break the skin? Face it; aren't these attacks usually
premeditated and have a clear message behind them? In case you
are still confused, the dog is trying to tell you, “Nobody
seems to care for my wussy bites anymore. It’s time to step
it up a notch and show them what I’m REALLY made of.”
This is one of those bites that is triggered every time you reprimand
your dog, or if you are in the middle of stopping him from going
after another dog, a stranger, or even a child. Sometimes it could
be as minor as you reaching down to kiss your dog on the forehead
and all of sudden, you find yourself getting stitches in the nearest
emergency room.
You see, from your perspective, it was just an innocent
kiss. But from your dog’s point of view, he saw
you getting in his face as a direct challenge! Perhaps you tried
to stop him from stealing food off the counter, taking an object,
his favorite toy, or a bone from him.
Some of these dogs lose it when you are just playing with them.
Think about it; even though it is just a game, he doesn’t
see it that way and gets intense in a matter of seconds. Whether
it is in the middle of roughhousing, playing fetch or a tug-of-war
game, he HAS to win every time, or else you'll
walk away with serious cuts, bruises and a broken spirit.
WARNING SIGN #9:
Whenever They See or Hear Another
Dog,
They Decide to Attack Each Other
If there were no other dog in this world, everything would've
been just perfect. But let's face it; that's not reality. So once
you decide to walk your whole pack, and one spots any
dog... all hell breaks loose. This is because they notice that
despite their many attempts they can't possibly get to the other
dog; so instead, they'll attack one another.
Some of these dogs get in small fights behind the fence.
All it takes is a dog passing by, sniffing their fence,
or barking, and it's on, brother. I can imagine the doggie conversation
going something like this: "Let me attack it!"; "NO!
Let me do it."; "Nope, I can take them both.";
"Heck NO! You know that when it comes to other dogs, I am
one mean son-of-a-gun! GRRR...I mean, I kick your butt
all the time, don't I?"

Saved the Worst-of-the-Worst For
Last!!!
WARNING SIGN #10:
Once He Bites, He Shakes
You (or Someone Else) Like a Rag Doll
When your dog finally bites, regardless of how much or how loud
you scream trying to pull a dog, a cat, or even your hand
out of its jaw, not only does he ignore you, but he even tugs
backward, shaking your hand like a rag doll. Ouch! Some do it
“Mafia style” and when they bite, it’s fast,
all over, up and down, side-to-side, leaving you with plenty of
puncture wounds. Yes, like a machine gun.
Folks, the dog is literally trying to maul you or the
other dog. Can’t you see that? These are the bites that
always require major medical attention. And most of the
scars from these bites rarely go away.
Any sensible expert will agree that these dogs never change
for the better on their own. In fact, they always get
worse. Without some sort of doggie intervention, they will continue
behaving like a psycho dog. That is just the cold hard fact!
Look at it this way. Would any of YOUR
bad habits go away on their own? I think I've made my point!
Now, don’t panic,
don’t get rid of your dog, and definitely DO NOT lose hope!
But be warned. It is very unlikely that you can magically train
or rehabilitate a red-zone dog all by yourself. Trust
me; it takes far more than common sense and a positive attitude.
After all, I am referring to “the worst-of-the-worst”
cases that even top experts struggle with.
Unless you hire a true pro who specializes in dominance
and canine aggression, these warning signs will never go away.
You, my friend, need professional help RIGHT NOW! It’s obvious
that it has gone far beyond the “obedience factor.”
Whatever you do, just make SURE you find someone who gladly accepts
aggressive cases on a regular basis. And he/she better be one
of the best in the field. Because...
Ultimately, it takes the best and brightest to train or rehabilitate
the worst of the worst.

your advantage.
It took ten years of hard work, intense research, and studying
thousands of cases
to write this book.
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.

About the Author:
Kevin Salem is considered to be one of the brightest minds in
the world of dog training. It’s hard to paint Kevin’s
image with the same brush as others, as his unique way of "Diverse
Method" and philosophy, makes him very distinct.
Ever since he was young, Kevin has been able to relate and communicate
with dogs in a very special way. You know when you meet a natural.
We’ve all seen one. These individuals are rarely taught,
but rather born. In over two decades of working with different
breeds, he has successfully trained well over 10,000 dogs worldwide,
earning him the nickname,“The Dog Prodigy.”
He is one of those rare experts in his field who has the knowledge
and the expertise to accept challenging cases that the majority
of dog schools simply don’t want to deal with. We are referring
to “red zone dogs,” and those already given up on
by many trainers, veterinarians and even animal behaviorists.
He is proud of saving hundreds of these dogs from abandonment,
shelters, or worse, euthanasia.
Kevin gained his experience from studying and practicing different
methods of training. To expand his knowledge even further, he
also compared the strengths and weaknesses of different theories
from more than a hundred books on dog training, dog behavior,
and canine psychology.
Mr. Salem currently operates his school, Dog Secrets, where
he offers house calls not only throughout the US, but globally.
You may also send your dog to his most popular program, the Doggie
