owner pleased with positive trainer

Training Theory

Hi
For anyone who remembers my plight of being dog nanny to the beautiful doxie pup who was not being trained by his owner. Good news! We met with a positive-based trainer and now she is thrilled. I geuss she needed to hear from an expert . I hope it lasts because I think Filou might have ended up going down the wrong path in lfe, he was get very bossy. it wasn't enough for me to train Filou, he needed his owner to train him too.
Now he's much calmer, even after 24 hours of 100% supervision/management of house training, ignoring attention-seeking bad behavior and rewarding good behavior, and some simple leadership routines.
The owner remarked "I think he really likes the training"
Big Aha for her.
Hopefully this will continue to be a happy ending story.

Sounds promising! Sometimes people just need to hear it from someone else, this is pretty common.

What subscribers are saying about us (thanks!):

"This ezine is awesome! The content is great, but the best part is the "plain english" way it describes things. I print out all the posts and keep them in a binder. I do a lot of rescue work, plus have 3 dogs of my own. You can never have enough training knowledge and this is a great source."
- Terri Beardsley

" I have enjoyed and appreciated Aidan's input to the Training Levels Yahoo group for ages now and am overjoyed at Positive Petzine. I teach puppy kindergarten classes and often work with first time dog owners. As such I find that the more ways I can present a concept the better. I love being able to reference Aidan's work knowing that the training philosophy and techniques mirror my own. The writing is clear, concise and well suited to a novice pet owner whose major goal is a dog they can live with happily."
- Linda Vance

"This is a great site for helping people deal with common pet problems using methods that work quickly and effectively. They are easy to use and make sense once you understand something about what makes dogs do what they do - which is explained clearly. When I tried these methods on my dogs, they really worked, and were easy to do. Other commonly used methods did not work as well."
- Rickie Van Berkum

"This is an excellent site for anyone training a dog of any age. It has helped me tremendously with my 20 week old Jack Russell/Pomeranian. He use to be very hyper and out of control with the help of this site he has calmed down a bit and I am getting a dog that I truly wanted not some hyper uncontrolled dog. This is is good for any age dogs."
- Helen Badmone

"Positive Petzine is a wonderful resource for training. I will be sending many clients here for help with training problems, and training tips. Aidan provides clear, understandable and simple information for people who want to train their animals positively."
- Barbara

"Positive Petzine has great tips for dealing with dog and puppy training. Aidan's suggestions help to improve the relationship with our dogs."
- Caryl Wolff (doggiemanners.com)

"The ezine has helped me with my dogs so much it's amazing! The information is clear, precise, and very easy to follow, and it makes training my dogs extremely easy! This ezine is an absolute library of information, all of which is very useful when working with your dogs. I highly recommend it for anyone with dogs!"
- Suzy

"Aidan is always the calm voice of reason in a dog debate--not an easy thing in a world where the witty line "The only thing 2 dog trainers can agree on is that the third dog trainer is doing it all wrong" isn't even funny! His work is readable and helpful, and always leaves me saying, I wish I had said that!"
- Peg McCallum

"This is a great ezine. Lots of very good, easy to understand information for dog owners. As a pet training instructor I work with many first time pet owners (too many of which have just bought their puppy on impulse at a pet store) and they really NEED accurate positive information for training their new family member."
- Ina Davis (Pet Training Instructor)

"This site should be required reading for all dog owners, new or old. So much good information, that will help to get and keep a good relationship with your well behaved dog Thanks!!!"

"AWESOME!
This is one of the best pet news letters I have ever received. I have had dogs all my life and I am learning alot of new things that help make my life a lot easier and my dog alot better behaved."
- Annetta McFarlen

"Excellent articles. Most up to date training knowledge, easy to follow, and effective. Every new pet owner should read this ezine."
- Nan Cowin

"What a great resource! Positive Petzine is a treasure trove of information for the new dog or puppy owner. Older pets can benefit too as these positive techniques can be big catalysts for changing less than desirable behavior. The information presented by an experienced trainer is clear and concise and readily implemented. Both basic behaviors (like housetraining) and more advanced behaviors (like tracking) are covered, offering something for everyone. This ezine will help teach readers to build that fun, positive, extra-special relationship we want with our pets and help us enjoy them more. I like to think they will enjoy us more too!"
- Carolyn

I've learned alot from this site, I'm very glad I found it :-)"

"Aidan Bindoff's Positive Petzine is simply the BEST canine advice column I've seen in years. Everybody who's got a dog, who's thinking of getting a dog, who working with dogs and/or dog owners should subscribe. Trainers and schools should print and distribute these in classes. Clear, well-written, to-the-point, logical advice dealing with every behaviour problems pet dog owners could face. The world dog community can only hope Mr. Bindoff writes a book (or two!). In the meantime, read Positive Petzine!"
- Chantal Cormier

"Just to let you know, Lacey has completely taken her "no barking" lessons to heart. If I slack off on giving her daily attention, she starts barking again. No kidding! 15 minutes of playing fetch, and she's a happy girl. Your step by step lessons helped both of us SO much!"
- Connie O'Hara and the Island ZooCrew

"A Definite Must-Read-
Great- easy reading, wonderful problem solving techniques that REALLY work. Give it a try!!"
- dnb

"This ezine has it all for trainers. I have a new puppy and it has helped me alot. If I had known about this ezine when I got my first dog things would have been way easier. Everything is easy to understand and simple to follow. Everyone should know about this great source."
- Chelsea

"Great positive training tecniques in simple english. I love how they discuss the "why". By discussing the why you not only learn how to fix the problems directly discussed, you learn how create your own training plans using the same tecniques."
- Kathy

"I have been following this Zine since the beginning, and am now beginning to refer clients to read Aiden's articles. I believe that keeping information free and available will help pet owners to choose the RIGHT information. I also like the way Aiden shows his point of view without going into lengthy discussions of "And this way doesn't work, and neither does this, or this...""
- Courtenay Watson (Crowsnest Custom Canine Academy)

"I have learned a lot from Aidan's ezine. It is concise, positive and helpful. I've used the advice w/the training of our new puppy and w/our older dogs. Some of it is new information and some reinforces what I already knew/used. But reinforcement is always good!"
- Carol

"I'm another person who offers puppy training classes. The articles Aidan is making available by way of this ezine are just the thing for our puppy people. Good information in a very readable format. I very much appreciate having this resource available to me."
