subject: My dog barks...What can I do? Wireless Door bell, using Park it along with the door bell [print this page] If you really wrap your head around this idea, you can easily see how many problem behaviors can be fixed! We are always ready to let a trainer know what our dog is doing wrong (what we don't like!) but spend very little time on what it is that we would rather do (what we would love to happen!) This is exactly the $64,000 question in dog training. What it is we want? Don't waste time trying to get inside your dogs head, or asking the philosophical question "What is motivating my dog to behave this way?" Focus on just two things! What is the behavior I don't like (what I want to go away) and what is the behavior I want to see (what I want to reinforce.) Do this and you will be on your way to becoming an incredible dog trainer, not to mention a wonderful dog owner! I'd like to mention at this point, this idea does not end with dogs; it works on kids, spouses and even the mean and nasty boss! You cannot change an existing behavior without knowing what different behavior it is that you would like to seeJ! The next blog will take this idea into another common problem dog behavior...The dog that jumps all over you!!!!
