STOP MANAGING OR AVOIDING THE BAD MANNERS AND FIX THEM FOR GOOD.
Welcome To Urban Wolf
The Puppy & Young Dog Manners Specialists
We understand that you love your dog and want what's best for them.
And we also know that your dog would be even more enjoyable to live with if we could get rid of any niggly bad habits they have.
There's a temptation to wait for them to grow out of the biting, the jumping, the barking, the pulling on the lead, etc.
However, they seldom do so without being taught what's ok and what's not ok.
But when you get rid of their bad manners for good, you no longer need to...
Put them on lead or outside when visitors come over
Have your peace disrupted when people/dogs walk past your property or ring the doorbell
Walk your dog at quiet times of the day to avoid embarrassment (or cringe at the thought of walking them)
Fight for attention through their selective hearing
Hide your shoes and socks and keep everything you care about out of reach
Rescue the cat from being chased and tormented
Scrape through a sliver of a door opening in case they barge through
Avoid them completely when they're in a mouthy mood (or be used as a chew toy)
Helplessly watch them race around your house at 7pm because it's time for zoomies
Walk and feed them when they demand it because otherwise they become harder to live with
And any other changes you've made to your life to accommodate their bad manners and tantrums.
There Are ONLY 3 Reasons Dogs Misbehave.
1. Understanding
They don't fully understand what you want
A perfect example of this is if you've been teaching your dog not to jump up, and you may have even made good progress, but then visitors come over and your dog jumps on them and gets pats and told how cute they are. This gives them mixed messages and is one of the many things that can cause confusion.
2. Desire
They don't have the desire to do what you want when there's something more interesting happening
This is your dog if they do as you ask intermittently. They usually listen when there's a treat involved or when there are next to no distractions, but when they're excited or there's something more interesting in the mix, it's like you don't exist.
3. Self Control
They don't have the self control needed to resist doing the naughty behaviour
Dogs are impulsive, living in the moment. They see a ball, they play with the ball. They're not born with self control, but they can certainly learn and develop it as a skill. By teaching a high level of self control, they still have the impulse to do something, but before acting on it they choose to stop and check in with you to see if it's ok.
Usually it's a combination of at least 2, if not 3 of the reasons
We work on all 3 Reasons in every one of our Manners Courses.

It'll give you a quick and simple way to communicate that's very easy for any dog to understand
It's treat free, instead building and deepening your relationship so they have a real desire to please you and do as you ask
It gradually increases their level of self control so they have the skills to remain quiet (even if they want to bark or sook), resist jumping on you and visitors (no matter how excited they are), walk nicely down the street, and anything else you'd like them to do or stop doing
