Day five of Dog Whisperer Week brings you more online tips from Cesar and tonights episodes should help you out even more. Enjoy!
 |
Training your dog is kind of like being on a diet! Lasting results take time, patience, & consistency. |
| |
A dog’s bad habits should never be tolerated. Remember, no attention unless they are calm and submissive. |
| |
Your dog’s misbehavior could be a reflection of your own. You’ll both benefit from being calm and assertive. |
| |
Facing a hostile dog? Don’t panic, stand firm; own the space. Don’t make eye contact or move until he backs off. |
| |
Eye contact is often a challenge to dogs. You can ease tension with my “no touch, no talk, no eye contact” rule. |
| |
Laughter isn’t the best medicine when it comes to dogs’ bad behavior. What you find funny is actually instability. |
| |
Dogs need rules. If there's no strong, assertive pack leader, they'll learn to do things their way, not yours! |
| |
Make a difference in the lives of homeless dogs. Volunteer at your local animal shelter! |
Tomorrow is the final day of Dog Whisperer Week, so be sure to come back and visit for the last series of tips for your pooch and you!

We have a sixteen week bordie collie pup,female, we brought into the family to give our three year bordie/lab mix a companion to keep her company when we are not home.
The have bonded tremendously, but the only issue we have is the puppy biting the 3 yr old. Syrah, the older dog is very gentle and allows it. Now she has little scabs from the bites. We stop it when we are home, but can't figure out how to completely stop it when we are not home.
HELP!

I have a husky/timber wolf. when I go to feed her or to just pet her or play she bites you (its a play bite) but she bites real hard. I tried doin the things you do on your shows but its not working. she also likes to jump up on people and she has sharp claws. When she jumps up on you she cuts you with her claws making u bleed. She jumped on my 4 year old cousin if she hadn't of got pulled off she would scratch her all over. what can I do? I'm afraid she's gonna get agressive. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
