•Trying To Stop Jack Russell Terrier From Sleeping With Us
Adam:
My boyfriend has allowed his wonderful, very well-behaved Jack Russell, who is two years old, to sleep not just on but in his bed. We are trying to teach her to sleep in her bed which is on the floor by our bed but it's proving very difficult! She's managed to sleep there until about 4 AM, but then the whining starts and she ends up with us. It's not really a problem so much when we are at our house but we are planning to go on holiday and she will be staying with my parents and they...
•German Shepherd Whines When Left In Kennel
Dear Mr. Katz:
I have a 6 month old German Shepherd named Thor. Having read your book, I applied your techniques to him and he responded very quickly, to my surprise!
He is quite good at a sit-stay and down-stay now, which is very, very useful. I do have one problem that I couldn't fix with him though.
Here are the circumstances and the problem:
Thor lives outside in a dog kennel/pen thing, I walk him every day and play ball with him and always make sure he has food and water, I brush him...
•What Andy Griffith Can Teach You About Dog Training
Some people get worried and excited when their dog is off-leash and he's done something that requires you to correct him. Because the owner is both worried and excited, they move fast toward the dog, concerned that the dog might run off before they can correct him. However, if you've done your long-line work properly and you've laid a solid foundation for your off leash training, there really isn't any reason for you to worry that your dog will run off. So, what does this have to do with Andy...
•When Is Dog Reliable Off Leash
Dear Adam:
My name is Diane and I have a German Shepherd named Ajax.
I have watched your video over and over again on having your dog come every time you call him. I have done all you have said (believe me, I'm a fan of yours now).
(To read about the videos that she's referring to, please take a look at http://www.dogproblems.com/newvideos/htm)
My problem is Ajax does everything on long lead, well. I try setting him up but he never fails to come. I tried the short leash, tab, etc...

•Teaching A Quick Response To Commands
Dear Adam:
I have read the first 125 pages of your book.
You reference, training collar several times. I have probably overlooked this, but what do you mean by training collar? Is it a pinch collar or one that delivers a shock? So far I have used your techniques with a great deal of success. We use the get busy command to make the dog relieve himself. After three days, it works very well. The dog sits well, too. He still needs a hand signal from time to time. We're currently working on the...
•Verbally Correcting One Dog When You Have Two
A poster from our discussion forum asked:
I have two dogs- - a Pit Bull and a Boston Terrier. I have read that you should not use the dog's name and [the word]No together so that the dog does not associate negative feelings with his name. So how do I tell one dog No, without both feeling like they are both in trouble?
Situation: The Pit Bull is happily playing with her chew toy. The Boston Terrier is chewing on my sofa. How do I let the sofa chewer know that he is in the wrong (the Boston...
•Is Your Dog Ever A Pain In The Neck
Do you ever experience those moments when your dog is a proverbial, Pain in the neck?
Maybe you're sitting at your desk, and your dog won't stop shoving his head into your lap... demanding attention?
Or maybe she's just restless for whatever reason. Or feeling needy?
Well, there's really three things you can do:
#1: You can put the dog in the kennel/crate. Just because your dog is demanding attention, doesn't mean that he's always going to get it. Remember: You're the Alpha dog. You're the...
•Leaving A Puppy Loose In The House
Hi Adam,
I purchased your book, and have made huge progress with my 6 month chocolate puppy (Kava). (To read about the book she's referring to please see http://www.dogproblems.com/newvideos.htm)
Kava is a good dog, very smart, and basically obedient. Thank you for the wonderful training information. Kava will soon be a good doggie citizen.
In the last two weeks, he has displayed behavior that relates to Separation Anxiety. He is chewing on books, pulling covers off the bed, digging, and...
•Dog Digs But Only At Night
Hi Adam,
I've been using your techniques for six months now and Zac, my Labrador/Heeler cross (two years old) is just about an angel now.
[To read about the dog training resources he's referring to, please take a look at: http://www.dogproblems.com/newvideos.htm]
The only problem I have is that he digs up the lawn approximately once every two months. I have him on a running lead when I'm not home and this prevents him from digging. However, he is off the lead over night. Most of the time...
•What You Need To Know When Picking A Puppy
This was a last minute e-mail I sent to a friend in California, who contacted me only a few hours befote she was leaving to pick a puppy from a breeder she's been researching.
(EMAIL FROM ME, STARTS HERE)
Actually, everything looks really good - for a show breeder. And even better, what I really like is that she's doing things with the dogs (using them in commercials) - which to me, suggests that the dogs she's breeding should (in theory, anyway) have solid temperaments.
The only thing I...
