So often I hear people say they do not want a submissive dog.  If I force them to do what I want they will have no personality left.

NO WAY!  Training (which equals leadership) done right will have the opposite effect.

Training is the development of a language by which you will communicate with your puppy.  Through puppy training you not only end up with a trained puppy but also a confident puppy.

A voice or hand command by you and the required physical response by the puppy is communication.   You and your puppy have developed your own lauguage, basic as it may be.  Your puppy now knows how to get a positive response from their pack leader.  

Both puppies and dogs want to do right by their pack leader.  They want to receive praise and rewards.  When they do they are happy and confident.

Here is a picture of our Elvis at only 10 months of age.  Still a puppy.  This is one weekend of working with me at a dog show.   There is no way he could be submissive or not have learned communication and win all these awards.  Yes…just one weekend he won all those beautiful ribbons.

He is an example of a puppy trained from a baby.  Elvis knows what I expect of him through puppy training and he loves to do right!  Elvis is confident because he understands what I want of him through my voice and hand commands.  We are communicating.  And we are having a blast doing it.

He is a happy, look at me puppy that out performs the adult dogs even.

So don’t think for a minute that strong leadership, high expectations and training will lead to a submissive, unhappy dog.  Nope…just the opposite.  Look at Elvis!

Take the time to read my ebook, Puppy Training Secrets   You too can learn to develop communication  and confidence with your puppy or dog through my puppy training.   You will be headed towards some fun times with your puppy!  Guaranteed!
