Common Sense Solutions to
House Training Problems
Leerburg® Dog Training eBook - 165 Pages
House training problems are one of the most common reasons that people give up their pets. This is really a sad statement to have to make because the solution to almost every house training problem is very simple common sense solution. I cannot tell you how many emails I get every week from pet owners that are pulling their hair out trying to solve their dogs’ house training problems.
There are a million "old wives tales" out there that are nothing more than misinformation on house train dogs. Everyone has an opinion on how this should be done and what to do when a problem arises. You only need to ask a relative or a neighbor or friend. The problem is most of these people do not have the experience to offer good sound advice.
I have owned dogs for over 50 years. I have bred over 350 litters of German Shepherds and been a police K9 handler for 10 years. I have produced over 125 dog training videos and DVDs since 1982 and cannot remember how many dogs I have trained in my life. This translates into a lot of dog training experience. I have the largest dog training web site on the internet (Leerburg.com) which is over 10,000 pages.
I get over 100 dog training email questions every day off my web site. Over a 4 year period I collected all of the house training emails and used them as the foundation for organizing the material in this book. I originally wrote the book for my puppy customers (who NEVER have problems house training their Leerburg dogs). This book is the best house training book on the market.

Dealing with Dominant
& Aggressive Dogs DVD
3 Hours, 30 Minutes
Most behaviorists lack experience in dog aggression:
It is important to point out that the vast majority of dog behaviorists are unqualified to offer advice on dog aggression and/or dominance. This DVD (and the eBook I am writing) provide enough information to help dog owners determine if an individual is qualified to assist in these areas.
In fact, this DVD should be used by behaviorists, professional dog trainers, and veterinarians alike to learn how to handle their customers' problems.
The chapters in our DVD:
1-The work that is expected of pet owners before they start this program.
2- Sixteen different forms of aggression are identified and explained.
3- Four different targets of aggression are discussed
- Aggression towards Owners
- Aggression towards Family and Friends
- Aggression towards Strangers
- Aggression towards Other Animals
4- When Does Dominance Start?
A- Understanding temperament in dogs and how it relates to dominance.
B -The role of genetics in dominance
1- How to live with and handle a dominant puppy
5- A section on EQUIPMENT needed to safely live with and train a dominant dog. This is an extremely important topic. It's one thing for a training aid to fail during obedience training. It is 100% a different thing for a training aid to fail during a handler attack or during an episode of dog aggression.
6 - Living with a Dominant Dog.
A- The Ground Work to Becoming a Pack Leader
1 - The importance of dog crates and how we use them in our home
B- The importance of Exercise as it relates to dominance
1 - Dominant Dog Problems and walks
2 - How to deal with Animal Aggression on Walks
3 - The importance of a Protocol for YOUR WALK - the walk is YOUR WALK not the dog's WALK
4 - Flat Collars vs Prong Collar vs Dominant Dog Collars vsRemote Trainers
C - Becoming a Pack Leader
1 - How I establish pack leader status with my new dogs.
2- How non-pack leaders can become pack leaders
D- Obedience training as it relates to Pack behavior
1- the THEORY of CORRECTIONS IN DOG TRAINING
2- This DVD is not a substitute for "Basic Obedience training"
** If you don't have my Basic Obedience DVD you will need to get it along with this DVD.E- Feeding A Dominant Dog - how to eliminate food aggression issues
7- How to break-up a dog fight without getting hurt
A - How to Introduce a New Dog into a home with existing dogs
B- Alpha Rolls- what they are and why they are dangerous
C- Dog Parks - a very bad idea
