I mentioned the book "The Dog Listener" by Jan Fennell. My husband and I started using her techniques about 3 weeks ago. It is truly amazing that after 11 years of me thinking I was a pack leader I found out it was my dog. LOL

After using Jan's techniques, my yorkie is so much calmer and well behaved. It's AMAZING!!! I only wish I knew about this years ago. We treat our dogs like people and they thing they are the boss. Once we tell them that WE are the pack leader, they are much more calm and happy. I think the first week of working with her was harder on me than on my dog. Now when I come home, she says hello calmly and happily for me, noiselessly.

Check out the book, I highly recommend it. All this is done with possitive reinforcement and not punishment. Who likes to punish a cute yorkie anyhow?
