Establishing Rules…

Since I have been performing San Antonio dog

training for 12 years I know that dogs thrive in a

structured environment. They want to know what is

expected of them... they want to know the rules. It

doesn't matter what rules you have, just that you have

some. I tell my clients if you don't have a set of rules,

then just make some up.

Sit down with the entire family and make a complete

set of rules. Consistency is the key to success, so make

sure that everyone is on board with the "RULES".

Last year I had several clients say that their dog was

better behaved after their vacation when the dog

stayed with me. At first I thought it was because the

dog had a lot of exercise and enjoyed being with

friends. When I thought about it more, I realized the

change was probably due to him being in an

environment where there is structure and rules.

At my house, while undergoing San Antonio dog

training, we have lots of fun...but we also have

RULES. We sit to get out of the crate, we sit for the

door to open, we wait at the gate to go out, we can't

play in the flowers, we sit to be fed... we take turns,

and there is "no nuisance" barking.

Here are my San Antonio dog training pointers on

"RULES":

1. Where should my dog sleep? Many clients ask

me if they can sleep with their dog as I do with

mine. Your dog may sleep in a crate, in a dog bed,

or with your son. It really doesn't matter. With my

personal pet, Sizzle, I have her sleep in the crate

about 20% of the time which helps mix up her

pattern a bit.

2. What level of play is acceptable in the

house? You set the standard. Play beyond that is

called "outside play". Put the dog outside when he is

running wildly and knocking things off the coffee

table. They will understand after a while.

3. Dogs on the furniture. Either way it's o.k. Or

maybe you allow your pet on the older sofa, but not

those new recliner chairs. If the dog gets on an

inappropriate piece of furniture... say "OFF" and

remove him. He will understand soon enough.

4. Where will your dog be when you are eating

meals? How about making a "spot" for him

somewhere that is a designated place in the

kitchen? That way he isn't hanging out under the

table at everyone's feet.

Some other "Rules" would be:

Where will the dog eat?

Where will he potty?

What rooms will he be allowed in?

How much time will he be outside?

Please comment on anything I have suggested and

feel free to give me call to discuss "Rules" for your

pet. Maybe a couple of weeks with me could do the

trick, ~ 830.981.5003.
