We offer a unique method of owner training in dog pyschology and behavioral-based obedience training for dog and puppy applied behavioral obedience. It is based on dog psychology and communication and dog behavioral modification for both the owner and dog and relies upon the animal's natural responses in order to achieve the greatest consistency of desired response. This is NOT a fear-based method.
Both dogs and puppies, including "bad dogs", "problem dogs" and some forms of "aggressive dogs", understand this form of psychological behavioral-based obedience training inherently and master it almost immediately. Owners may take a while longer to learn this dog psychological behavior training method and how best to put it into consistent practice in order to achieve the highest quality of dog or puppy obedience and improve their relationship with canine companions.
We offer dog and puppy psychological and behavioral-based obedience training classes, as well as on-site dog camps and clinics. Because of the great success in this dog training method, we also travel to all 50 states to offer dog psychology-obedience clinics for private individuals and/or groups and as fund-raisers.
This dog obedience training method is guaranteed for the life of the dog when followed consistently. It is humane and does not utilize choke collars, pinch collars or shock collars and is successful-even for puppies as young as 8-weeks old. It is psychologically-based and does not depend upon treats. Call us for more information should you wish a Dog Pyschology/Obedience Clinic to be held in your area, or wish to attend one of our Dog Psychology or Psychology-Behavioral Obedience Clinics, Camps, or Behavioral Training Class.

Hi Susan...
This is Karen and Zach Schmitt. We have a question about our dog Maya the labradoodle.
She is learning very quickly, but only inside the house and only if Zach and I are the only ones present.
She will sit and not move until we tell her she can. She will sit and wait to be told she can eat, go out, etc. She will come when called.
However as soon as we take her outside she doesn't listen to a thing we say. She has been sleeping outside the past few nights because we can't get her to come back in.
She also jumps up and lays on top of our natural gas grill, the patio table, the hot tub etc. She chews on the patio chairs and drags them across the deck or out into the yard.
She behaves if I am walking her on the leash in the yard and we are in training mode. I can step back and drop the leash and walk around her almost every time. But the problem is she will not go to the bathroom on her leash in the backyard.
Also, if anyone is at the house other than my husband or myself, she completely disregards everything we say to her. She sits but maybe for a second before she is jumping up on the guests or pawing them or leaning on them.
We will be there this Saturday for training but we would really appreciate some tips now.
Thanks!
Pet Portrait Tidbit-
I just had my 2 dogs and cat "pose" for their pictures with Nancy and Jack Logozzo - They are wonderful to work with and the entire proceeds from their pet portraits are donated to the Animal Shelter to spay and neuter pets. Really --- They asked me to make my check out to the Animal Shelter- Nothing went to them- Wow!
Hey, Karen: Maya could do with some more exercise to help lower that energy level. Longer walks - away from the yard, a couple of times a day should help with that.
She behaves in the house for you as she has learned you mean business and will stop her behavior. She needs to learn that this applies outside as well.
Also, if she's refusing to return to the house, stop calling her. You're simply teaching her to ignore you. Go to her. Don't make a big deal of it or she'll turn it into a game. Take your time, wander around, you'll catch up to her. Then you can administer a correction for not coming.
Use that correction sound if you catch her on the items outside.
Most chewing is a result of too little controlled exercise.
If you take her on a 40 min walk, about half-way through she'll need to go and you can let out the leash to the end, let her do her business, then re-set her for the walk.
As for the house, pick a place where she can see you, but from a distance and insist, even if you have to take her over to it, she lay down there and don't let her meet anyone until she's perfectly calm. Then she may be called to greet as long as she sits. Tell your guests to totally ignore her presence and that'll help her get calm.
If she's not listening to you then you aren't clearly communicating that her behavior is unacceptable. You are nagging - that doesn't work.
Also, Labradoodles are fairly slow in maturing. The more you expect from her in the way of self-control, the more she'll begin to mature. See you Saturday.

Kudos to Jack and Nancy for supporting spay and neuter. Thanks.
