Has this ever happened to you?

It’s more common than you might think.

You’ve excitedly brought a dog into your home, thinking …

… He was going to add so much joy and happiness to our family

… It isn’t going to be hard to get her to listen and be well-behaved

Maybe things aren’t quite turning out that way.

Is your dog running the show instead of you?

Walks are hard because you feel like you need a chiropractic adjustment by the time you get home.

Mealtime is a chore, both the dog’s and your own.

Coming home is difficult as the dog jumps up to greet you and knocks everything — and everyone — down.

More of this … and less of this!

Nothing’s Worked

You’ve tried yelling.

You’ve tried bribing with treats — that only works when you have the treat!

Now you’re left thinking what else can I do?
