DOG TRAINING TIPS
Sandy Butler, author of "Train Your Dog in One Hour," offers these simple tips for training a dog:
Use only two words — the dog's name and a command.
Make eye contact with the dog as much as possible.
Never hit the dog for any reason.
Never rub a dog's nose in feces or urine.
Never use a choke collar on a dog.

Is it possible to teach an old dog new tricks?
is it possible to teach an old dog new tricks?
Absolutely, said Sandy Butler, author of "Train Your Dog in One Hour," who signed books and demonstrated her obedience training techniques last night at Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hamshire St., to about 30 people.
Butler, who always has been a dog lover, has no expert training in handling animals. She gained experience through her childhood ownership of an Irish Setter.

She developed a talent for training dogs after owning a candy store in Colorado that was next door to an animal shelter. She said that frustrated dog owners often would ask her to watch their pets until the shelter opened in the morning.
Butler offered to train the dogs in one hour or less if the owners promised to keep the animals rather than leave them at the shelter.
Butler offered to train the
Word began to spread that she was good, and about 20 years ago, a new career was born.
Butler has been interviewed on radio programs across the nation about how to train dogs. She noticed that she tended to receive the same questions, so she produced two videotapes, which demonstrate her dog training methods.
the training every step of the way," she said.
She said that the keys to training a dog were clarity, conciseness and consistency.
All dogs will test their owners, she said. It is up to the owners to speak to dogs in a way that they will understand and will respond to.
Although dogs will test their owners, she said that they were eager to please.
"Dogs want to do what we want them to do more than anything in the world," Butler said. "They just don't know what that is. We have to show ___.
"A dog will try to be alpha if you let them," Butler said, referring to how a dog wants to be in control. "They're always testing the pack order."
She said that her training methods were so simple that even a 5-year-old child could use them.
"Children need to be involved with
them."
She said that showing them involved two words — the dog's name and the command. Then, she said, when the dog obeyed the command, the owner should praise it lavisily.
"Hitting a dog just teaches it fear." she said.
Owners also need to use body language to physically show the dog what to do. She emphasized that owners always should be positive with their dogs, and never hit them - even when they leave surprises indoors
The dog that Butler trained at the book signing belonged to a store employee, said Susan DePrenger, community relations coordinator for Borders.
Maggie Wood, Borders employee, volunteered her dog,
Daisy, because she wanted her dog to receive some obedience training.
She said that Butler's training methods were good for Daisy, who was taught to sit, stand and stay.
"I know this works," Wood said. "You just have to do it. Training a dog isn't that hard." Stacy Hoobler, an employee at the Lawrence
"I've used the two-word method to train all my dogs," Hoobler said. "It just makes sense."
Although Allison Bernard, Overland Park senior, did not go to Butler's dog training demonstration, she said that she used a similar method of obedience training for her dog, Jake. Bernard's mother used to train dogs.
Humane Society, said she had used similar techniques.
"The shorter the command, the more likely the dog is to remember it," Bernard said.
