"I am currently a dog trainer and this course helped me so much. I went to a dog training academy for my education and they didn't address the issue of barking in such a clear way.

During this pet training course you'll discover how to communicate to your dog in a language they understand and learn the calm and confident words and dog training methods that quickly stop incessant barking at the front door, back yard and even at the mail person. You'll also learn how to integrate dogs that bark at men (or women) and also the best methods to use for dogs who bark in the car.

In this dog training course you'll also learn how to integrate dogs that bark at cats by using an amazing and easy to do 'De-sensitizing Technique.' This simple pet training method changes unwanted excitable reactions to balanced behaviours when there is a 'trigger' such as cats, birds, noises etc.

Learn the Simple, Clear, Concise Communication And Dog Training Methods Which Dogs Love that Stops:

  • Barking at the front door

  • Barking in the back garden/yard

  • Dogs going ballistic when the doorbell rings

  • Barking and aggressive behaviour when the mail person delivers the mail

  • Barking at men (or women)

  • Barking in the car

  • Barking at cats or any other 'triggers.'

You Can Teach Old Dogs New tricks, And Young Ones Too With These Dog Training Methods.

Dogs live in the present moment which means when given the right information and dog training techniques their behaviour changes fast, even if they've been behaving a certain way for a long time.

Once you've learned what dogs are looking for and know what dog training methods work you'll know what to do for life. Dogs speak the same language regardless of age or breed. The dog training methods you'll learn will work with your dog, your friend's and family's dogs and any other future dogs you may get.

Dogs are not like computers they do not require constant updates or need to have new programs or new pet training methods developed, once you know what to do you've got it.

What You'll Get From This Dog Training Course.

This dog training course is designed for any dog owner, regardless of their experience, who would like their dog to bark and alert them when someone comes to the front door, or if there's a disturbance in the back yard, but to immediately stop barking on command.

This pet training course focuses on empowering you, the dog owner. You're given the tools, knowledge and dog training methods in order to get your dog to listen to you and respond favourably to what you say. You're shown exactly how to do the dog training methods through step-by-step video demonstrations using the pack leader theory combined with positive reinforcement techniques.

During this pet training course you'll learn precisely how to stop your dog from barking incessantly when someone comes to the front door and how to cease barking in the back yard on your command.

You'll also learn dog training techniques that convince your dog, in a kind and confident way, that you are in charge and that their job is to alert you, as the pack leader, that there is potential danger rather than demonstrating uncontrollable territorial behaviour.

During this dog training course you'll  also discover why the mail person makes dog barking 10 times worse plus the crucial part you play - your reaction and what you say can either calm the situation or encourage more frenzied behaviour from your dog. This pet training course will teach you how to give the right message to your dog which causes them to relax and trust in your decisions.

By the end of this course you'll have the dog training knowledge and confidence you need to make a positive difference to your dogs incessant barking when someone comes to the front door and in the back garden/yard. You'll also know how you can become your dogs pack leader without shouting, hitting or using force, in this area. As well as confirmation of where you are already doing things right and suggestions where some 'fine tuning' may be beneficial.

Imagine someone coming to your front door or a disturbance in your back garden/yard, your dog barks to let you know that someone's there and stops barking straight away when you say, that's what you can look forward to after completing this dog training course.
