For the past few weeks, Tracey and I have been working on putting together a complete training manual that is totally focused on puppies, and we are proud to announce The Puppy Manual.

The Puppy Manual is composed of tons of useful training information that is aimed at getting puppies and their owners started off on the right foot.  It’s filled with pages and pages of useful training tips, drills, protocols, and scenarios that are geared at turning your puppy into the dog you want him to be!  Take a look at the video that provides a ton more details.

If you would like more information on the puppy training instructional guide or would like to purchase The Puppy Manual, you can visit The Puppy Manual page.

Many dog training programs are structured and held once a week for a certain duration of time, usually in the neighborhood of 6-10 weeks.  While all training programs require practice and consistency in between lessons, what happens when you are finished with your 10 lessons?

While this approach is fairly typical and has worked in the past, Unleashed Unlimited offers a variety of training packages, most of which include unlimited lessons!  Here’s why we feel that unlimited lessons are a better solution for most:

All dogs and owners learn at different rates - Taking a cookie cutter training approach to every dog just doesn’t seem advantageous.  Unlimited lessons allow us to work the pace of you and your dog.

We have other things going on in our lives - Committing to every Saturday afternoon for the next 10 weeks is difficult for some.  This is not a problem with unlimited lessons, simply jump back into classes when your schedule frees up.

A higher curriculum takes time – Because we take our training to a very high level, we are not going to rush through the different skills.  Unlimited lessons allow us to move our clients and their dogs on to the next level when they are ready.

Training is an ongoing process - Just like with us, our dogs’ skills can get rusty with time.  Our unlimited lessons allow you to attend “brush up” lessons as you see fit, no matter how well behaved our pets are, there is always opportunity to sharpen our skills.

If you are currently shopping around for an Austin Dog Trainer, give Unleashed Unlimited a call!  Not only can you get unlimited training, but you can also get your dog training for free!

With all of the Christmas puppies coming into their own, we have recently been getting a lot of calls relating to typical puppy issues.  This is such an important time in those young dogs’ lives; so much of what they are learning, or not learning, is shaping them into the dogs that these puppies will become.

When seeing an older dog with fear issues, human aggression, nervous tendencies, handling issues, and other similar traits, it may be common to assume that the dog was abused when they were younger.  I have heard countless people ask, “I wonder what happened to that dog when he was younger that can explain these behaviors.”

Often times it may very well be a case of abuse that can be responsible for these behaviors, but more times then not, as a trainer, I find myself asking, “I wonder what didn’t happen to that dog when he was younger that can explain these behaviors.”

It’s this type of reasoning that is the focus of our Puppy Consultations and our upcoming puppy e-book – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  If you are the proud owner of a new puppy, now is the time to get started exposing him to the necessary drills and situations that will help shape him into a steady and social dog.
