Dog obedience training was one of the most frustrating things I have ever done in my life.
Who knew that it would be so hard to get a dog to obey simple commands? I have plenty of friends who have perfectly trained dogs so I figured it couldn't be that hard.
Have you had an experience like this? Spend 3 hours doing nothing but talking to your dog trying to get him to do what you say just to have him look at you like you are crazy.
Then you start to wonder if you are really losing your mind.
If not then you will shortly when you start trying to train your dog.
I spent a lot of time online trying to figure out a master plan to get Einstein trained and obedient.
I put together what I thought would be a plan for the ages.
I figured that the odds of what I had planned failing where almost nil.
After 4 weeks of trying to get Einstein to do anything I said I was starting to doubt my master plan.
Turns out all that information online is free for a reason.
The reason is that the people giving the advice have absolutely no clue what they are talking about.
That was when I decided to go ahead and buy a dog obedience training course.
I ended up going through 2 of them with very little success.
I could barely get Einstein to sit at the end of both of them.
I was just about ready to give up.
I finally stumbled onto a site that offered a free 6 day mini course on how to train your dog.
I figured why not give it a shot.
What did I have to lose? It turned out to be better than anything I had seen in the whole previous month.
This free course made everything else I had tried look pretty stupid.
So I had made some improvement but I still wasn't happy with the result.
I then decided to go ahead and purchase the full blown course.
I absolutely loved the videos that came with it.
I actually saw what I needed to be doing to make Einstein obey.
It was a real eye opener to what works.
