Rules of Dog Training

by Ron Dorazio

1. Lavish praise on your dog when he does as asked. Don’t be half-hearted about it; dogs can tell the difference.

2. Correct timing is imperative. Dogs must be shown the error of their ways or their poor compliance to obedience commands at the very time these events occur. To praise or correct a dog after the fact would confuse him as to what he’s being praised or corrected for.

3. Try to always be consistent in your training. Never, for instance, give your dog a command that you can’t or won’t follow through on.

4. Remember that all dogs, large and small, are pack animals, and as such have a pack hierarchy mentality. To be comfortable and happy, your dog must know his position in the pack (in this case, your family), and must understand what is expected of him. Obedience training is your best tool to establish this.

5. Never train a dog when you are angry. It won’t be fair to the dog and it probably will do more harm than good.

6. It is best to teach potentially aggressive dogs to stay off furniture.

7. When you feed your dog, have him sit and wait until you tell him it’s okay to eat. Again, this helps establish his position in your family.

8. Do not expect your dog to think like a human. During training, try to think more like she does so you can help her understand what is expected.

9. If you don’t want your dog to beg while you are eating, never feed him from the table.

10. Treat your dog with love and respect (and be firm when necessary) and you will be rewarded many times over with a happy, loving, obedient companion.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

"Ron is an amazing trainer. I have 3 extra large dogs and throughout the training they have changed dramatically! I would recommend anyone looking for a trainer to start with Ron, not only did I see results quickly but he was patient with my dogs when they weren't catching on. Ron's services are the most affordable I have ever come across and after looking many different places I was pleased when a friend recommended him to me."

"Ron does not train your dog, he trains the family (humans and dog) by teaching you how to communicate. In a few weeks Angel was offer her lead and enjoying her walks with more freedom. Ron is affordable, honest and reliable. I promise if you feel frustrated, Ron, will work with you and bring peace to your home and you will LOVE your pup like you never thought you could."

Ron has been helping our 3 dogs and instantly they have been progressing in such a positive manner. Ron has truly changed our 3 dogs lives and our dogs love when Ron comes over for training. Their behavior has changed from aggressive dogs to pleasant obedient dogs. Ron has helped us out so much. My wife and I would highly recommend Ron to train any dog.

"Hi Ron, Max, the doodle, is now just over four years old and is such a wonderful pet. Thanks mostly to you and your training. If you remember, we were at our wits end and almost ready to give up when we found you and you helped us become a happy family. Max has added so much joy to our lives and the lives of almost everyone who knows him."
