    His name is Cesar Milan and he is pretty amazing. Most of what he does is simple common sense, you have to be the pack leader of your dogs, they need to know you are in charge and you call the shots. The trick is that you have to be able to remain calm and assertive, yelling and getting frustrated does no good.

    For instance: I got a 6 month old lab/pitt bull mix about 3 and a half weeks ago. Every night when he is calm I work with him teaching him sit, down, and stay. He is doing soooooo well! First I get him to sit, using one word…Sit…I say it strongly with confidence but not so much that I am yelling. Then I would give him a treat and praise. After a few days, I started adding Down! to the session and while holding the treat so he could smell it, I pointed at the ground between his front legs. He lays down, he gets the treat. A few days later I added the stay part. I did the first two steps, then put my hand on his forehead and said STAY. I backed up a step or two, he stayed then gets a treat. Day by day I move away while he is in the "down-stay" (a dog’s natural instinct is to follow, "stay" is the hardest thing for them to learn) He is doing so well that he "stayed" at the bottom of the stairs while I walked up and out of sight. Then I use a one word command with his name to tell him to come: "PJ- COME" and he does. He gets praise and a treat.

    He is also learning to walk on a leash without pulling! Every time he starts to pull, I pull back one short time and say no! I bring him back to my side and we go on. It took a lot of walks and was very frustrating for the first week but today he did it!!!!!!

    Today we also did the "sit, down, stay" while we were out on a walk, there was noise, people, and traffic and he did all three! woo hoo!

    The main thing is that you always remain calm and in control, no matter WHAT the dog does. You cannot yell and get all excited, your dog will act on that and it will make things worse. Making sure he gets exercise helps too. A dog cannot go day after day without releasing energy. A walk that is at least half and hour to forty five minutes every day is vital. A good game of fetch works too. They need to get somewhat worn out.

    Many towns have pet stores that offer group obedience classes for about $50 to $100 dollars, you can also ask the local animal shelter for some suggestions for trainers.

    Good luck!
