When I got my first dog, a beagle, as my pet several years ago, I was thrilled. I was finally able to have my very own lively, obedient, and loving pet. After about week, I became very frustrated. If happened to own a dog too, then you know what I mean. Taking care of Sally was like having to take care of an unruly child.
I already had some knowledge on how to train Sally. But it didn't seem to work, Sally would continue her bad habits in spite of what I've done. She would let it out anywhere she pleased. The incessant barking, whether it's indoors or outdoors drove my neighbors mad. Do get me wrong, I love my pet, but this was getting out of hand. Sally was afraid of the simplest things: I can't even use the toaster without her barking like mad. Whenever an icecream truck drove by, she run for cover. She disobeyed my commands many times and would bark at my friends and neighbors for no apparent reasing. Taking her out was a pain. I was tired of having to fetch most of those frisbees myself. There must be something wrong with the way I'm training her I thought, so I went out and bought a couple of dog training books and read through them in about a week. I've applied most of the techniques in the book but a month passed and there was still no progress. I then tried other books and asked for advice from other dog owners. Again, almost a month passed and there was still no progress. I was exhausted. Having stress from work was bad, I don't want to be stressed at home too. I pondered for a while and realized that no matter how difficult a situation is, there's always solution if one is persistant.
With the newly found drive to train my dog for the better, I scoured for more information on dog training. Then I stumbled upon something that actually worked. I thought it was the same old stuff that's already in the books that I've read, but no this was actually something new and effective. It was a epiphany for me after I bought the manual and followed its instructions and techniques. After about a month, Sally was starting to become fairly obedient. Most of her worse habits were gone. She was on the right track for improvement. You see, there's usually always a solution to even the worse problems. The answers are out there, you just have to find it. I was glad I didn't give up early.
