HELP! MY DOG IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
CONSTRUCTIVE CORRECTIONS FOR INCORRIGIBLE CANINES
DOG GOTCHA DOWN??? ASK THE TRAINER!
A LECTURE/DISCUSSION PROGRAM ON DOG BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS
& SOLUTIONS
For the past 38 years, Mr. Paul Thurner, Senior Master Trainer with Hacienda
Hills Dog Obedience Club, has been conducting obedience training classes
throughout the Southern California area. With several thousand
well-mannered
dogs to his credit, he is now presenting lectures on some of the most popular topics
on which troubled dog owners frequently seek his
advice.
Currently, he is offering his lectures four times a year
in the cities of Yorba Linda, Long Beach, and Mission Viejo. The following topics are
addressed:
CANINE BAD HABITS - PREVENTION AND CORRECTION
Personalized advice and corrective measures for various behavior problems
including nipping/biting, destructive chewing, house-soiling and territorial
marking, jumping up on people, digging holes, and taking off out the front
door. A question and answer period is included. You may want to bring
paper
and
pencil to take down some notes.

NOTE: This lecture is not meant to replace basic obedience
training. It is a great supplemental program, and if your time is limited,
this can provide you with a variety of solutions to get you quickly started
on the right track. However, we strongly urge you to also get your dog
into
basic obedience training, in order to get that communication established
through obedience commands. Every dog needs to be taught basic commands,
and
to understand that YOU are "in charge". This is accomplished by
your time
and commitment towards this effort, which is one of the many responsibilities
of dog ownership.
