BEING ABLE TO TRAIN “ANY DOG” IS REALLY NOT THE QUESTION TO ASK. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, TRAINING PEOPLE IS A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE WAY OF SOLVING PROBLEM BEHAVIORS IN DOGS. WHAT I DO IS NOTHING NEW OR MAGICAL. I USE BASIC BEHAVIOR THEORY, AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TECHNIQUES TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR OR TEACH PROPER ONES TO BEGIN WITH. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO TRAIN A DOG AND IF DONE RIGHT, NONE ARE ANY BETTER THAN THE OTHER. I WANT ALL OF MY STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT POSITIVE REINFORECMENT IS, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST AND FASTEST WAY TO TEACH A DOG. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GO TO MY WEBSITE WWW.MUTTZRUS.COM AND LOOK AT MY BLOG (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID PET BLOG) AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE TRAINING DECISIONS BASED OFF A BROCHURE; TALK TO AT LEAST THREE TRAINERS; CHECK OUT BLOGS AND GET REFERENCES; THEN MAKE YOUR CHOICE. I HOPE THAT IN THE END YOU WILL CHOOSE ME AS YOUR TRAINER
