Please be considerate. Think before you use fireworks!

Instead of buying fireworks this year, buy some pet food, treats and toys and donate them to your local shelter or rescue.

Make a difference, not just a bunch of noise.

Verbal Feedback is Solid Gold!
The TOP TEN REASONS to Consider PRAISE instead of a Click!
1. Praise is a marker; "G'Dog" is equally as short and precise as a bi-phasic click.
2. Praise is also a powerful Primary Reinforcer in its own right.
3. Praise acquires massive Secondary Reinforcing powers throughout life; "G'Dog"—>"Couch", "G'Dog"—>"Go Sniff", "G'Dog"—>Chest Scratch, etc., etc., etc.
4. Praise is ANALOGUE providing two pieces of information: 1. Well Done! Correct! and 2. How well done. Praise can accurately mirror the QUALITY of behavior.
5. Praise is a personal and engaging show of acknowledgement and appreciation for a good job well done.
6. Praise is always readily forthcoming (unless you're eating chocolate or sipping beer)
7. Praise is hands-free — no gizmo to find or operate.
8. Praise is the best way to attract and keep your dog's attention, fascination, and engagement — Mesmerize Your Dog!
9. Praise improves your vocabulary — use three different adjectives each time: "Who's the most brilliant, wondrous, cerebral beast!"
10. Praising a dog gives dog and owner a massive blast of dopamine and oxytocin. Praising makes the dog feel good and makes us feel good.

Helping Dogs, and the Humans Who Love Them!

A Better Dog 4U offers Dog Obedience Training as well as Tips and Insights that will help give you a better understanding of your dog.

Living a happy and fulfilling life with your dog begins with an open line of communication. Once this communication is open, training is simply showing your dog what you want and expect from it.

At A Better Dog 4U our training methods are personality and relationship based. Our behavior reinforcement training is time proven and it gets results while making it fun for your dog to learn.

Successful dog training revolves around knowing the dog first. Training begins with understanding your dog’s personality, knowing it’s likes and dislikes and accurately timing reinforcement when a behavior is done correctly. Using consistent communication is the final step to successfully training a dog.
