Segment 2

ASKING AND ENFORCING BEST BEHAVIOR IN A PLAYPEN/OR A CARRIER
WHEN YOUR DOG IS CRYING OR BARKING IN HIS PLAYPEN OR HIS CARRIER, USE OUR 3 STEP ALPHA TRAINING TECHNIQUE:
1) A CLOSE PROXIMITY, VERBALIZE “QUIT IT” IN YOUR TRAINING VOICE, LOOKING AT HIM STRAIGHT INTO HIS EYES.

IF HE STILL IS BEING A BAD DOG:
2) AGAIN VERBALIZE “QUIT IT” IN YOUR TRAINING VOICE, AND AT THE SAME TIME SLAP THE SIDE OF THE PLAY PEN OR CARRIER WITH A FLY SWATTER. (FLY SWATTERS CAN BE FOUND IN A DOLLAR STORE). IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU HAVE SWATTED THE SIDE OF THE PLAY PEN OR CARRIER, POINT IT AT HIM AND IN YOUR TRAINING VOICE SAY “QUIT IT”.

NEVER USE THE FLY SWATTER TO HIT YOUR DOG.

WAIT FOR HIM TO MENTALLY PROCESS THIS LAST COMMAND – GIVE HIM ½ MINUTE TO CALM DOWN. IF HE DOESN’T CALM DOWN YOU PERFORM OUR ALPHA PIN DOWN ALPHA TRAINING TECHNIQUE:
3)THEN CLIMB INTO HIS PLAY PEN, OR DRAG HIM OUT OF HIS CARRIER AND GENTLY PUT HIM UPSIDE DOWN – DO SO ON A CARPET, BE MINDFUL OF A HARD FLOOR AS YOU COULD HURT HIS BACK.

PLACE YOUR HAND IN BETWEEN HIS FRONT LEGS AND GET RIGHT INTO HIS FACE AND USE YOUR ALPHA TRAINING VOICE “QUIT IT”. LOOK AT HIM RIGHT INTO HIS EYES AND KEEP CONSTANT PRESSURE ON HIM UNTIL HE HAS STOPPED CRYING, GROWLING, THRASHING AROUND FOR 10 SECONDS.
PRAISE HIM AND ALLOW HIM TO TURN OVER AND GET UP. DO NOT TOUCH HIM FOR ½ MINUTE.

HE CAN COME UP TO YOU AND SAY SORRY BY LICKING YOUR HANDS AND FACE BUT DO NOT RECIPROCATE. THIS IS BECAUSE ALPHAS DO NOT SAY “SORRY” WHEN THEY HAVE DISCIPLINED ONE OF THEIR PACK MEMBERS, THEY SIMPLY CARRY ON WITH THEIR DAY – REMEMBER DOGS LIVE IN THE MOMENT – NO PAST, NO FUTURE, JUST NOW.
