 Tip of the week

Your dog perceives you as another member of his pack it is widely believed that dogs are descendants of wolves, because both are pack animals with an almost identical social structure. To develop the best possible relationship with your dog you must assume the role as the pack leader. This helps the dog respond, respect and bond to you more quickly.
 
               

            A Better Pet Dog Training was founded in 1989 by professional dog trainer James Closson. James attended Southern Oregon State College at Ashland, where he majored in Pre-Veterinary medicine. James was fortunate enough to study animal behavior under reknown animal behaviorist Dr. John Sullivan.  James was able to interact with Dr. Sullivan's pack of wolves and wolf hybrids thus improving his education on dominance, hierarchy positions and canine communication and Pack Leadership development. While in college James recognized the need for quality dog training. Training that would help dog owners eliminate their pets undesirable characteristics. James successfully  completed a formal apprenticeship of over 1500 hours, which included training techniques geared toward puppy imprinting, adult and puppy potty training, behavioral problem solving, Real World Obedience, Advanced Obedience, Police Service and Narcotic Detection and the European dog sport of Schutzhund.
             In addition to learning from several respected European and American trainers and then spending many years and hundreds of hours researching different training methods from around the world, James took the best available techniques from a variety of different trainers and combined them into a proven system of dog training. A system that is based on the well studied and documented behavior of dogs in social pack settings. Which became the immensely popular STREET SMART DOG TRAINING SYSTEM
. A proven training system designed to produce the fastest results possible. With out the use of Choke chains or harsh jerk & pull type methods.
