You have just brought home your new little puppy. Dog obedience training is the last thing on your mind. Oh, you know you will have to learn how to housebreak a dog but that is no big deal.

You can happily see just what your life is going to be like together now that you have a new best friend. Your anxious to take him to the park with you so you can run and play together through the green meadows. He will go ever where that you do and he will always stay by your side so you don't even need him on a leash.

He might even be a best friend to your daughter or son. They will spend long summer days playing and getting into mischief just the way a kid and their dog are supposed to. Life is going to be great!

Then reality sets in.

Your smart and well behaved dog is refusing to use the vast bathroom outside and has discovered that your couch is the perfect bed. He is now to good for the kibbles and bits you try to feed him and instead rummages around the counters to find better fare. Your carpet is a digging zone.

Never mind that you bought him plenty of bones and toys to chew, the sides of your favorite recliner is the perfect chew toy. He is constantly barking at everything including his own shadow and your dreams of owning a well behaved dog are vanishing.The constant barking is driving you batty. If you do dog training stop your dog barking is first on the list.

Now what do you do?

Well even if you wanted to you can not just get rid of your monstrous dog because when he get in trouble he gets the biggest saddest eyes that he stares up at you with. He really loves you and you him.

If only he would be better behaved it would all be wonderful.

Well the answer to your problem my friend is dog obedience training and I'm not just talking about taking him to a dog training class a handful of times and hoping for the best. Your dog needs training on an on going basis but it is really not as difficult as you might think it would be.

Dogs really love to please so when you two finally figure out how to properly communicate and he knows what to expect, he will go out of his way to make you happy.
