You don't have to take the time and spend the effort working to train your dog. You just drop them off to a supposed professional and pick them up a few weeks later and BAM! – they're fully trained. They call it “board and train,” or “doggie boot camps.”

Teaching Self Control Your dog will need to learn that rude behavior will not get him what he wants (e.g., attention, play, access to toys, etc.). One way to discourage this behavior is by turning your back to the dog, crossing your arms, and avoiding eye contact. Once he is calm, you can engage with him again.

Almost all vets agree that positive reinforcement training is the most effective method of dog training. Positive reinforcement training essentially focuses on rewarding your pet for good behavior, rather than punishing bad behavior.
