You won't believe how much the simple act of training and working gently, patiently but diligently with a dog in training can reshape their behavior and change them into a happy, well-behaved but proud pet. But once they learn what's going on and what's expected of them and how rewarding it is for them to learn and do what you are teaching them, they begin to work hard and enjoy it so much! Once they learn they can control their own impulses for positive reinforcement and real rewards, you are off and running toward success.
