We read with interest your emails regarding training our beautiful Shih Tzu, Zac.He is generally a well behaved little man and adored by Yvonne & Myself but does have a little naughty streak at times!Your emails are excellent and expressed in plain English. Your words of wisdom are common sense but like a lot of dog owners we forget that our job is to make our little friends obey commands when they do not speak English and hence have to have repetitive instruction in order to get the message. Keep up the good work.

I am finding the tips very helpful. My little Mindi is 3 months old so we are starting a little late with some of the training but she's bright and willing and I believe we will catch up before too long. I have also shared the tips with the people who come to her most often, so they know to apply the same rules and keep Mindi's training consistent from day to day and person to person. I'm enjoying your notes, I do plan to join the training program.

Very encouraged. As we talked, I realized all the things our little fella has learned in 10 days and that I am probably expecting too much too soon. I liked that Sally suggested "guiding" him into better manners rather than forcing him or yelling at him. Her commands and how to teach them make sense and we will work on them.

I fully agree and understand the training method for my Shih Tzu Smokey and they have helped us both immensely. Smokey is one of the smartest dogs I ever had and he actually showed me what Love is really about. That's a different story but just to say this he left someone who was watching him when I was in the hospital from a bicycle accident and traveled over 3 miles across a interstate highway and a busy business street to get home at the apartment we lived in. 2 days before I got out, he's my wonder dog, wonderful wonder, ain't no money could pay his worth and nothing can separate us now. I'm 68 and retired

I think that your tips in dog training is working. I've already seen a change in my dog. I take him to the park every day and his companion. Thank you. You are a blessing to me and my puppies. I'm trying to learn everything there is to communicate with my dogs. I love them like if they were my kids. I'm so blessed for them. Have a blesed day and thank you.

I've been training my baby with this process and fit her breed most people can't believe how mild mannered my female Rottweiler is. The training is very effective however it takes time and patience of the owner. It's best to have only one trainer as not to confuse your puppy. I love this class.

I really need to know more about training an older dog. Bear is 8. Was never properly housebroken and never neutered He constantly tried to jump our male neutered beagle and no matter how much we take him out he will still pee on the floor. I don't want to give him up but husband is getting irritated. Can you address how to heal these habits?

I would first like to thank you for the emails. I greatly appreciate them! Your approaches have helped me with King already. When he's jumping and I simply ignore his behavior, as you said, he stops within a very short amount of time. Also, praising him with just simply saying good has worked great. I'm not sure if that has worked or made a difference for anyone else but it truly did for me. Thank you for free tips and advice. I'd not be fortunate enough to have something like this otherwise.

Emily was very helpful. Apparently I have created a potentially difficult situation for myself by getting littermates. I am grateful that we can address it with her help and hopefully raise to very good puppies.

I've only subscribed for three days, but already I've learned how to discourage jumping and our puppy's play biting. I was encouraging that without realizing it! We so appreciate all of Nancy's tips--especially her loving approach. My neighbor's strong suggestion to discourage jumping was to shoot my puppy in the face with a squirt bottle, to assert dominance. I refused, glad I did! Thanks, Nancy!

I got my puppy Bambi at 8 weeks old. She is 13 months now and she's already got certain words down pat. The words no, stay, come here, potty, and the word chicken. She definitely knows what chicken is. All I have to do is raise her bowl off the floor and she comes running for whatever I'm going to feed her. Whether it is chicken or not, she eats anything I put down for her. She already behaves very well. I do things a bit different than what the PetTraining Guide book states, regarding Bambi's bath. But the book is very thorough and I recommend it especially for new puppy trainers. Treat your baby like a family member and just love them wholeheartedly and have patience, patience, and patience!

I did read your first 2 emails in preparation of us receiving our 7 week old Husky, Diesel, this coming weekend. We will definitely use your techniques to train our new puppy :) My daughters and I are very excited to receive your book and your future newsletters. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with others. Have a blessed day.

Emily was very helpful and sent me the links to help with the training. She definitely knows her business.

I understand what Sally said and if it was only me to do it, it would work, but my neighbors who think they know it all about dogs are involved in these situations.

But he's getting better at letting me know when he goes outside, but we can spend a good half hour outside and he will again come inside and mark his territory. I'm hoping he will outgrow this habit as I do use the spray and clean up so there is no smell. He is very stubborn and trying to get my attention so I am trying the method of what you were saying by ignoring him to see if that might help.

I didn't need a call yet since I won't get my puppy until Dec 21.

I have completed several lessons and they have worked exactly as they said it would for my Labrador Retriever. Communication has been excellent. My pup has picked up very quick using the lessons provide by Train Pet Dog. Completely satisfied. Don't miss out!

I have only been receiving this information for a few days now but everything I have tried from your advice is working great. The ignoring your dog part when she jumps up on me has been especially effective and when I ignore her instead of yelling at her or telling her no or get down and it is starting to work and she just stops after ignoring her. Thank you for all of this wonderful information.

Super. I missed our call, but Sally called back and said she had 10 minutes for me which was perfect!

I have loved all the training tips and would love to know everything I can. I am a very huge animal lover. I've all kinds of animals, and different dog breads. I have more than just sissy, I have 3 others, they have been raised since they were 3 days old without a mother so this part is all new for me. I have learned more from what you have sent me I give u a 5 all the way

Emily was very helpful and sent an email with the info shared over the phone as well! Excellent

I have enjoyed your daily emails and have put into practice the way you explained about Tilly looking my attention and me rewarding bad behaviour unintentionally. Once you pointed this out it makes so much sense. These tips are really helpful for me as I am a first time dog owner to new puppy and appreciated all the tips you have been emailing me. Once again thank you for your help.

Not too many emails and not too pushy on purchasing products (although we know that is needed to survive). My wife and I have been going back and forth on if we purchase the full training set but we have told anyone we meet (and the owners who sold us this dog) to reference Nancy and this site. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful tips!
