I have two minature schauzers and they need help! I mean help they aren't bad dogs just they Jump alot! and i mean alot. And one is always nervous and bites sometimes. We heard things about Bark Busters that was good so we were thinking about them but we'd love to have Cesar Millan here but thats impossible but does anyone know any names of places or people who come to your home and help you with your dogs. The price is nt a major thing we just need help. SO please any names of proffesinals that come to your home or companies. thank you in advance big points for the best answer!

I would avoid ANY "franchise " so-called training companies......especially Fart Busters. A 30 second conversation with one of them should be enough to show you they are completely Nuts.

You can do a lot of this yourself with time an patience. There are many sites on line that will give you very good information and pointers. Here is one such site: freedogtrainingarticles.com/ Potty/ dog-toilet-training.php Your local library will also have dog training books. That is how I trained my two rescue dogs. One of the main things is to make sure you are using an assertive voice not a baby voice. You do not have to be mean and yell but you do have to establish your dominance. Time and lots of patience is key. Be assertive and not whimpy. Remember this is not your "baby " it is your pet. A well trained dog is a happy dog. A well trained dog makes a happy owner.
