• Puppies and dogs are like small children, they need your attention all the time.

• In order to he happy, healthy and well-adjusted, your canine buddy should be socialized with almost everyone, everything and everyplace. It’s fun getting out and going on excursions with your dog.

• Communicating with your dog is more then just your voice, you also communicate through your emotions and body language. Dogs are sensitive.

From Week 1


CAMP MIGHTY PAW

7

• Make sure your dog learns who you are as well as you knowing about what your dog is. Even though we must learn how to take care of our best-friend, our best-friend needs to know the boundaries in which to live in our human world.

• Remember, you are not alone. Many people from all over the world have the same problems with their dogs. The important thing to do is to not give up, have a routine and live a good happy lifestyle no matter who you are or where you come from.

From Week 1


CAMP MIGHTY PAW

• Check your dog’s health weekly making sure they stay happy and healthy.

• A dog’s psychology is very simple, they don’t need to be coddled like a baby. But they do need to be socialized with other dogs and people to maintain a healthy mental state of mind.

• Dog’s are sensitive creatures and they do feel emotions.

From Week 2

• Each dog trainer has their own special way to teach and connect with dogs. Cesar Millan helps rehabilitate older dogs with problems while Planet-Puppy focuses on establishing good puppy-parenting skills (to reduce the amount of problems a dog might have when it’s older).

• Obedience training needs to be practiced everyday while you are positive and happy.

• If you get frustrated with your dog while training him or her, take a break!

From Week 2

From Week 3

• Dog training is like a sport you have to practice regularly. You are a winning team.

• Every dog has a bad day. • Mentally, “a dog will forever be like a kid of 14.” • If a dog’s behavior turns negative, consider a “time-out.” • Practice some simple obedience training daily to keep your

dog balanced and well-behaved.

“My dog will not listen to me! Why?”


CAMP MIGHTY PAW

12

Have you ever watched a television show that helps bad dogs to change? Well these shows such as The Dog Whisperer, Dogs in the City and It’s Me or the Dog all feature roughly the same problem, the dog owners lack of simple dog obedience training. Let’s watch an example of Animal Planet’s “It’s Me or the Dog” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlmKXtvltNs In this YouTube clip you will see an adult dog’s behavior, whose had no obedience training, change from being ill-tempered to mentally stabled. The training suggested, advised by the expert, was very simple. She suggested doing short 5 minute training spurt sessions twice a day. Do you understand why? Watch the video again to find out the answer.

“My dog will not listen to me!

Why?”

“My dog likes to bite when we

play!”

Let’s watch some more YouTube videos of bad behavior and how humane corrective actions can change a bad dog to being good! Videos are from Animal Planet’s: “It’s Me or the Dog.” • Difficult Case #5:

• features the use of a “Time-Out:” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUREXCizjb0&feature=relmfu

• Difficult Case #4: • features helping a rescued dog. • Watch the expert train the dog, her eye is on the dog all the time and her timing is immediate when the dog starts to behave badly: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEwlz2w9b78&feature=relmfu

• Difficult Case # 7: • features why it’s important to research the dog’s breed before purchasing the dog: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDQUHeOHXrE&feature=relmfu

Dogs don’t care what kind of job you have, your position in whatever company your in, how much money you make, what color your skin is, what country you are from, what type of house you live in nor do they care about what you look like in the morning or how bad your breath is!

But dog’s do care about rules, boundaries and limits. They need a routine, they need simple obedience, they need exercise and they need your good vibes. Dogs

can handle tough love and good leadership with various types of communication.

The #1 key to ANY successful

relationship is GOOD

COMMUNICATION.

So as we come to the end I want you to

remember that a dog is not just a dog…
