Hello,
I'm Sharon Bolt and I’m the founder of Good Dogs!
I’m a dog expert who has been featured in more than 35 different newspapers, magazines,
TV and radio stations and I am regularly featured on BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey.
I've created a series of videos for people who want to become professional dog trainers
giving tips on how you can become a dog trainer, how to work with animals and how to have a
successful dog training career.
Becoming a dog trainer and having a dog training career is an ideal choice for people who'd
like to work with animals.
With the increased number of dog attacks, dog bites and dog owners at their wits end
with their dogs' unwanted behaviour there is certainly a demand for more professional
dog trainers and an opening for the right people to have successful dog training careers.
So, let’s talk about how to become a dog trainer...
What I've discovered along my dog trainer journey is that there are 3 essential parts
needed in order to become a professional dog trainer.
1) A strong mindset with positive Beliefs and Expectations.
2) Dog training knowledge and experience.
3) Business knowledge and knowing the right Marketing Strategies.
In this video I'm going to focus on one of these vital parts and give you some puppy
training tips as you'll get A LOT of questions about puppies when you become a dog trainer!
So, let's talk about puppy biting!
This is one of most common unwanted behaviours puppy owners have and want to stop as soon
as possible, which is understandable as with those razor sharp teeth really hurt!
The easiest way to stop this is to act like a littermate.
I'll explain further.
In the litter when play biting becomes too hard, the hurt puppy will 'yelp' which is
their way of saying that the bite was too forceful.
You can mimic this response by saying a hurt ‘ouch’ when the puppy bites which often
stop them instantly.
Also, you could walk away which would further communicate that play and affection stops
when they bite.
Not only is it simple to do but it works too!
In order to help you with your dog trainer career, I've written an E-book that you can
download for free, which is called:

1) The Vital Part Your Mindset, Beliefs and Expectations Play in Becoming a Successful
Dog Trainer.
