Does your puppy or adult dog give you stress? Is your dog not using the crate voluntarily, barking 'too much', occupying your coach, relieving inside the house, knocking over precious interior,...? Do you sometimes feel challenged by your dog's behavior or non-compliance? Feeling exhausted, or at your wits' end? Apart from emotional stress, dogs can also give us financial trouble too! Dogs that are not trained right can destroy the home when left alone at home. But locking away the dog all day is no solution either.
Here's where Tim's House Training Guide comes in: With this, you can give your dog FREE run of the house, even while you are away, and your dog will keep everything as nice as you expect. Tim's fans love that his training insight "is straight forward, there are no complicated manoeuvres, no acrobatics - just a couple of simple exercises - you could say it's using the kiss method. Very effective. Tim's got it beat!"
Do you really want to continue with the 1960ies dog training techniques others still teach you? Say goodbye to your troubles and worries with your dog or puppy. Join the forefront of dog training insight TODAY. Better get this now.

House Training: Who? How? Why?

Before you ask: Yes! It is very well possible to train your dog to behave so well that you can leave your dog alone at home inside the house, outside the crate, ie being FREE in the house. Indeed you should.

Why? I'll explain this in a moment.

Why? Because, first we need to agree that there is a massive difference between House Training and Housebreaking: Mere housebreaking is not sufficient to let your dog be FREE in the house, as you will see in the next chapter.

Also, before you ask: Is this guide for Puppy House Training too?

Now, yes! Initially it was planned as House Training Adult Dogs because it allows Behavior Training your dog (yes!), and puppies don't yet focus as much on our behavior as adult dogs do.

However, every day countless dog owners consult mygermanshepherd.org to get advice for their often significant problems with their adult dog later, and this happens because as puppy owners they have learned Obedience Training only - which creates problems that manifest with age.

So I decided to help more dog owners (and to avoid always having to solve the same problems) by integrating specific advice for House Training Puppies where relevant.

Now puppy owners too can get their dog on the right track by facilitating elements of Behavior Training from early on, instead of ruining their dog-human relationship with pure Obedience Training already at puppy age. - And then later requesting my advice to solve their dog problems, that only manifest because they decided to focus on other authors' Obedience books...

All this will become clearer as you progress through my book(s). But if you are a newbie as regards dogs and dog training(?), you probably desire a brief explanation at this point, what I mean with Behavior Training versus Obedience Training?

So, in short:

The whole idea of Obedience Training is based on a Master - Servant mindset (1). The dog owner or trainer (Master) gives a command (2), and the dog or puppy (the servant) has to obey (3). What's often covered up (in the above image too), is the necessary element of enforcement (4). These four constituents describe Obedience Training.

The enforcement in Obedience Training is one of the 3 F's: Force, Fear, Foods. Typically it's a combination.

• Force: eg tearing and dragging a leashed dog down the road, employing a choke collar or electronic collar, hitting or kicking the dog, poking in the ribs, rattling by the collar, or being the repetitive type of person: Sit - SIT - SIT! - I said SIIIT!! - SIT DOWN NOW for God's sake!!!

• Fear: eg intimidating the dog with yelling, giving the face the really angry look, or raising the arm for that unmistakable threat of imminent action (with or without something in hand)

• Foods: eg luring the dog by waving a tasty morsel, or bribing the dog with food treats into doing what we want

Instead of focusing on Obedience Training with its 3 F's (Force, Fear, Foods) to enforce the commands such that the dog obeys, at mygermanshepherd.org we are beyond that. We focus on Behavior Training.

~~~

The whole idea of Behavior Training is that dogs are best trained through our own behavior. Ie we behave (1) in a way that motivates the dog (2) to behave the way we want, because adult dogs (3) closely observe our body language anyway (4). These four constituents describe Behavior Training.

Note that adult dogs intensely focus on our behavior, more than on any commands we could give!

Puppies still focus on play, they don't yet interprete our behavior so much, our body language. Hence, puppies need more clear directions (commands) than adult dogs do. Still, any commands should be in addition to unambiguous behavior from us.

This is where practically ALL dog books on the market fail: They are still on level 1 of dog training: Obedience Training. The reader of the book and the client of the dog trainer learns how to use and how to enforce commands, but the dog owner's behavior speaks a different language: Now the puppy and adult dog alike are confused by the ambiguous potpourri of commands and
