You CAN Lead A Horse To Water And Make Him Drink

I know it’s a common statement but you CAN lead a horse to water and make him drink. In fact, you can make him drink a lot of water. How is this done Kemosabe? Very simple. All you need is some…. …..SALT! Put a generous portion of salt in the horse’s oats and ole Seabiscuit will race to the closest water. You won’t have to lead him, he’ll lead you. NOT that I would ever recommend doing that, but what I would recommend is using treats to train your dog. I was teaching a class the other night and one… Read the rest

Get Your Stinking Dirty Paws Off Me

Little fun and excitement yesterday. Mrs. LaFluer needed help with her newly adopted dog. Being a lifelong dog lover, she had small dogs all of her life. This time she adopted a puppy and was told he would be on the small side. Now with a 60 LB. ball of energy, she needed help. She made a smart move and called in a top dog training specialist (me) to help bring him under control. I was there for about five minutes and even with all my expertise, experience and unlimited knowledge of Canis lupus familiaris, I knew I would not… Read the rest

Automobile Mogul Reveals Secret To Making The Right Decisions For Your Dog

I’m not sure if this story is true but it makes a great point. I once heard that Henry Ford would always take a potential key employee out for dinner to observe him during the meal. He was looking for one move. One move that would determine if he was going to hire the guy or not. The move? SALT! He didn’t mind if the chap used salt what he wanted to know was…. …..did he taste the food before adding the salt. Imagine that! I guess ole Henry wanted to know if the dude was going to make a… Read the rest

How To Avoid Having A Bad Day

A couple of weeks ago I was working on a beautiful beach in Westport, MA. I was really looking forward to the day. I had three appointments on the same beach that day. What a way to start the day. Dogs, lots of sunshine, warm weather, it was going to be a great day. My client shows up and we were going to work on recalls (come when called). I explain a very effective exercise to start training their dog to come to them. I always do this on a long line for the dog’s safety. I am holding onto… Read the rest

How To Help Your Dog In A World Full Of Creeps

Are you afraid of anything? Chances are, you have some fears. Many of the things we are fearful of are fake. There is nothing to really be afraid of but we can’t help but being afraid. For instance, I am not afraid of clowns, spiders or snakes but I am afraid of….. …..the shower. The clinical term is Ablutophobia. Here’s the interesting part. I’ve never had a single traumatic event happen in the shower. All my fears are in my head. I think it stems from the shower scene in the movie Psycho which terrified my mother who never even… Read the rest

I Have A Bad Feeling That Whenever A Lesbian Looks At Me…

I have a bad feeling that whenever a lesbian looks at me they think, “That’s why I’m not a heterosexual.” –George Costanza I almost fell off the couch the first time I heard this line watching Seinfeld. I saw it again the other night and wondered what dogs think when they look at us. It’s tough to try and figure out what others are thinking. In fact, it’s best to just forget it all together and live the way you want. I always like what Eleanor Roosevelt said: “Your opinion of me is none of my business.” All kinds of… Read the rest

Why Your Dog Jumps, Bites, Barks At You – And How To STOP It

Did a little baby sitting yesterday. Maybe the right word is puppy sitting. Our neighbors, finding out that they were living next door to The Amazing Dog Training Man, decided to fast track their plans to get a puppy and brought the little guy home over the weekend. Smart move, I’d do the same thing if I lived next door to me. Anyway, they have a great advantage, not because they live next to me,but because the puppy has not yet developed behaviors that we humans deem unacceptable and in most cases – bad! And I am going to meet… Read the rest

He Wanted To Actually Fight Me In The Middle Of A Wedding!

Years ago my cousin was married to a guy that I thought was a real class A chump. This was not just my opinion of him. I had my reasons. You see, one fine day we were all together at a wedding when my cousin’s husband challenged me to a fight. He was serious. He actually wanted to throw down right in the middle of the festivities. Luckily, I happen to be a peaceful man and declined his invitation (not to mention I kind of like my teeth where they are). Anyway, last night the Washington Redskins lost to the… Read the rest

Why You Need To Be Like Tom Brady When You Have Dog

So last night Tom Brady showed what he was made of and stomped the Cincinnati Bagels into the ground. Living in Massachusetts, I get to listen to the Boston media and all week they were talking about Tom Brady being all done. Time to retire. And then last night he comes out of the box on fire. Two touchdowns in the first quarter and there was no looking back. The sad fact is that there were quite a few fans that also turned on him. NOT me, I’m a loyal Brady fan to the end. The guy has brought us… Read the rest
