My neighbor was amazed. Just two weeks after bringing home my beautiful 9-month-old German Shepherd, she was already responding reliably to off-leash commands. She would come immediately when called and react promptly to the word "No!" from a distance without any yelling.
“How did you do it, Adam?” my neighbor asked. “We’ve had our dog for over three years, and he never listens like that. But your dog responds to just a whisper!”
“It’s all in the book,” I told him, referring to a resource I trust.
Despite his insistence on reading it, he still asked for a quick tip. I explained, “The secret is to start right from Day 1. Never give your dog a chance to learn that not responding is an option without a negative consequence. That’s key.”
I elaborated, “Teach your dog what each command means, then allow her to choose whether or not to obey while being prepared to reinforce the desired behavior. If she tries to run off, she’ll learn to make a choice every time I call: respond and receive praise, or face a correction and try again.”
“Consistency is crucial,” I added. “Every action should yield the same outcome, either positive or negative. This way, your dog quickly learns that responding to commands minimizes negative experiences and maximizes positive ones.”
Much like us, dogs seek to avoid the negative and embrace the positive. My method, detailed in the book, focuses on “Three Keys to Behavior Modification.” By understanding these principles, you’ll be astonished at how rapidly your dog learns.
Thanks for reading!
