Why Won't My Dog Listen to Me?
Anthony Johnson
The first phase of training is to establish yourself
as the top dog. Your dog won't fully work for you
until you become the alpha.
Okay we covered a few points that really
touched home in my last special issue. I
felt I needed to explain this a little more.
I am constantly getting email from dog owners
all asking the same questions over and over
again. Friend, I don't know what you do for a living.
Whatever it is I'm very sure you are an expert
and if I could ever use your services I will
gladly ask. I won't question what you advise
if you prove to me you know more than I when
it comes to the problem you're helping me solve.
To make something right you sometimes must pay
a price. It doesn't matter if it's money or time.
In the end you must pay a price. With your dog you
are heading for many frustrating days and or nights.
When you first signed up for this newsletter and I
became aware of you I assumed you needed help
and you needed it fast. Well I am an expert on
dog training and behavior modification. You
have to let me help you. I promise not to fail you.
It is ever so difficult to help you if you aren't
willing to make the effort to modify your dog's behavior.
Please don't become offended when I say something
to you. Sometimes when one reads a sentence they
feel is being directed at them, it causes them to get
upset. I would never offend you. I will however
tell you the truth.
I ask you in the last special issue to change your way
of thinking. You have to treat our contact together as
if you're visiting my academy for dog training. This
isn't the type of newsletter that shows up in your inbox
filled with jokes or love quotes. The content in these
newsletters would cost several hundred dollars to
learn from top pros. The video system which is
available at a special consumer cost to help those
on fixed incomes is an ever important part to dog
training.
The free dog training newsletters will help you accomplish this.
Respect, respect and more respect is the initial goal.
You must get the point across to your dog that he must
respect you at all times or suffer the consequences. The
consequences are of course the correction. Once
you've successfully become the alpha you'll find
it extremely easy to train your dog.
Many of you are trying to do to much to fast.
This first goal is being promoted to alpha status.
The newsletters will accomplish this.
The second goal is successful dog obedience.
The dog training video system will teach you how to do
this fast. The final goal is to remain in charge at all times.
Many of you are saying your dog is to hyper
to train. He's hyper and won't listen to you
because he doesn't respect you. You have
to give your dog a firm reason to believe he
must comply with your commands. This is
why the video covering the correction is so
important. So many ask what is a correction
and how do you do it.
It doesn't matter that you have a prong collar.
You must know how to correctly use it. Being
able to issue motivational corrections is the
fastest way to get the point across. Your dog
will learn to do what ever it must to avoid a
correction.
I got this recent email from a now happier dog
owner.
*************************************
"Hi Tony, I want to first say how right you were.
I agreed with you from the start and I went to
the pet store to buy the prong collar. I decided
I would cut out a few of my pleasure weekends
and buy the videos. You were right when you
said there are some things you must see for yourself.
I know alot of your readers won't get that point.
I'll try to help express the importance of your
videos.
If you are trying to correct your dog and it isn't
having the desired effect. It's because you aren't
using the right technique. The videos are wonderful
in this regard. I can see now why dog obedience
schools charge so much. These videos have cut
my training time in half.
Everything was so much easier when I finally learnt
how to use the right technique. There was no way I
could afford $195.00 for these videos. I will say
this, if I knew ahead of time they would have helped me
the way they have I would have given up going to
the movies and spent that much. Thanks for lowering
the price for people like me".

*****************************************
Again, you have to change your way of thinking when
it comes to these newsletters and videos. You are in
dog obedience school right now. You must treat this
as such. You must have the discipline to do the things
I'm revealing to you. Some of you are so spoiled to
the free Internet. I haven't tricked you into
signing up for a free dog training newsletter then sent you a bunch
of cut and paste articles only to be followed by ads
for my dog training system.
My free dog training newsletters alone have helped thousands
of people. Those are the ones that take training their dog
serious.
They purchased the videos not because of a hyped up
newsletter, but because I have already proven myself.
You are already aware of my knowledge because you
are receiving powerful training advise in your inbox.
This is a course. It's like you've been lectured on a
career enhancement discussion. You decided to take
the course so you signed up and purchased your
school materials. You did this because you know
there is no way you could complete that course without
the right materials.
You have to have the same mindset when it comes to
training your dog to coexist with you. You are receiving
the same type of training as my clients receive. The
only difference is they pay big bucks for it, so again you
are getting a wonderful opportunity to solve your dogs
behavior problems and top obedience training.
I hope you can feel what I'm saying and take this to
heart. I have thought about discontinuing this online service
for quit sometime now. The Internet has really spoiled
people.
I really felt that people were serious about wanting a
dog that they could coexist with. I certainly wish I had
the opportunity as you when I wasn't a trainer a went
through the same things you're going through. I would
have welcomed any help and if the person helping me
proved to me they knew what they were talking about
they would have had a good customer. I'm a firm
believer in the deed first. So for those that feel
this is just another newsletter list that simply
wants your money and really hasn't anything of
real importance to share, please take the time
to read each issue and try what I'm saying with your
dog.
I just bet you'll find that I have a lot to share that
has great value. I can help you and your dog only if
you fully allow it.

Have a good day
