Our Misbehaving Dog
It's the bane of every families existence. The moment you bring a new dog home your house is literally a 'marked' target. Such was the case when we brought home our Golden Retriever/Lab mix from the Humane Society. My kids were so excited to have a new dog but what we didn't realize was that this dog had history. Of course moving into a new home didn't make things any easier for her. "Josie" was urinating and defecating in nearly every room of the house. This had to stop and it had to stop soon. But we weren't sure how best to train her how to do this. I started looking on the internet and there are literally hundreds of web sites and books on the subject of training your dog and how to do it without punishing them for something that comes naturally to them. Not only did it help us to retrain "Josie" with her potty problem but we've also had success with several other cool dog tricks. So, if you are as lucky as we were to bring a new puppy home and you need a recommendation for a great e-book I highly recommend 'Sit, Stay, Fetch: dog Obedience Training.' by the folks at Kingdom of Pets. Sit, Josie, Sit. Good Dog.
