• How Should I Train My New Puppy?? (PDF file)
  

  This article by Dr. Sophia Yin, is on how to get a perfect pup in 7 days, using the "Learn to Earn" model of training. Because dogs learn that the only way they can get what they want is by sitting and looking to you for permission, the learn to earn program teaches them

  • to control their emotions (self control) even if that means remaining calm in order to get attention from you.
  • to pay attention to you, your words, signals and guidance are important.
  • when faced with a difficult situation, they can and should look to you for guidance.
  Consequently, the learn to earn program is useful for dogs with fear, anxieties (including separation anxiety), arousal issues or hyperactivity, inability to focus on their owners, well as just general lack of training and unruly behavior.
