Make your dog the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had. My dog training book is a Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do what you ask him to do. Stops behavior problems, too.

What other people say about my dog training book:

Andrew Rigatto:

"I am completely blown away by your vocabulary and respect program. You've pulled everything together into one solid package of sensible dog training. Anyone can follow this program, no experience needed, and end up with a much better dog. Congratulations on an outstanding job!"

Dennis Appleberry:

"In my humble opinion, this is the most practical course on family dog training you will find anywhere. Whatever your dog needs to know, it's in this book."

Connie Hiller:

"No dog owner can afford to be WITHOUT this book. It is the most sensible teaching program I've ever read. The lessons are easy to understand and easy to follow."

Rhonda Sacowicz:

"Michele, I love the way you write. Wish I could write so well. Super book, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a smarter dog."

Deb Gulick:

"I have three Goldens who are good natured goofballs. I love them dearly but when they get excited they don't pay much attention to me. I tried just a few of your suggestions and it's like this light bulb went on in their heads. This is a great program Michelle. You've really outdone yourself!"

Jennifer Adcock:

"In just a couple of days I've taught my Rhodesian Ridgeback whose name is Kyle, seven new words that I never would have thought of teaching him. They're so useful!"

Joseph Adinaro:
"This book tells you not only what does work, but what doesn't. Before I bought your book I was doing a lot of the "Doesn't work" and it showed in my Dobermann's stubborn behavior. Now I'm doing what you tell me "Does work" and his stubbornness is completely gone."

Andi Sheets:

"I love my dog Junie, but he was impossible to live with, what with the "accidents" on the floor, chewing the table legs, etc. I was just days away from giving up on him. Now I've seen a 1000% improvement in his attitude toward me. He is his same lovable self but paying attention to me now. Thanks Michele, keep up the good work!"

Jean Gobeil:

"I have read so many books trying to figure out how to get my dog to listen to me. I should have just bought yours first. All I had to do was follow your plan and everything worked just like you said. Tiki behaves so much better now, I just love it!"

Chris Gonzalez:

"I can't thank you enough for this terrific book. It's like a gold mine. It explains just EVERYTHING you need to know to get your dog acting like a gentleman."

Nadina Schmidt:

"I wish I had had your book when Shiloh was a puppie, it would have saved me making a lot of mistakes. But now I do have the book and I'm fixing my mistakes!"

Corene Stormant:

"I collect dog training books and this one is at the top of my short list. I highly recommend it. You will learn TONS of useful information from this book."

Shomir Banerjee:

"Your book is simply amazing. It went far beyond my expectations. I believe it is going to be the single best investment I have ever made, when it comes to my dog."

Albert Bakos:

"I am flabbergasted at how much information this book has. I seriously think you should be charging $30 or $40 for this much information. All the other training books come no where near this one."

Cassandra Croteau:

"After reading your material, I can honestly say my dog is twice as good as he was before I read it! To say his behavior has improved would be an understatement. Thank You Michele."

Roberta Stotz:

"I've never seen anything like this training program. I'm still reading it, in fact I refer to it every day to find out how I should handle some situation that just happened with my dog. Seriously folks, this is all you need to raise your dog right."

Milan Zeljak:

"I am 100% satisfied with this book. It would take years if I tried to learn everything you know about dogs. Thank You for all the work you do with your web site and your books, helping us owners with our dogs."

Michelle Farruni:
"This is fun! After just a couple of days following your instructions, I can now "send" my two dogs all over my house -- "Go stairs! Go bed!" Go crate!" and they race each other to be the first to get there. My husband can't believe they learned this so quickly."

Dianna Mills:

"This book told me everything I needed to do to make Shadow a better family dog. That's what I wanted and that's exactly what I have now, after reading your book and following your advice. It worked!"

Marcia Ducharme:

"I learned how to communicate with my dog and get him to understand me and do what I say. This book makes so much sense. I like the step by step lessons."

Mary Landom:

"Since purchasing your book and following your advice, I am happy to report that Sassy is asking to go outside and also she stops barking when I tell her to."

Cyndy Forbush:

"I wonder if you realize just how much you've helped me? My husband was on the verge of find another home for our teacup chihuahua when I bought your book. Now Rosie is using her litter box and she doesn't offer to snap to anyone any more."

J. Kenagy:

"If you have a dog, you should have this book. It will give you a whole new way of looking at your dog, why he does what he does, most important what you can do to guide him into doing the right behaviors."

Alex Pierce:

I found out my wife and I were doing a lot of things that were enabling our shy dog to go on being scared of the world. Now we know just how to respond when Jinks hides behind the couch or growls at people. And you know what? She's getting much better!"

Scott Stingley:

"Even if you're just thinking of getting a puppy YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY THIS MANUAL... The time and effort you put into reading it will put you way ahead of most puppy owners and save you months of trial and error and searching for answers. Trust me, the answers are all here in this book!"

Aiko Yoshida:

"My puppy Jiro was bouncing off the walls and I was at my wits end. He was a kind puppy but would not listen. Your book explained how to handle misbehaviors in ways that were very sensible. When I started doing this, Jiro understood and now he minds me and has settled down. I am so pleased."

Jason Richardson:

"Buy it, you'll love it! The best dog raising book I've ever read, bar none!"

Claudette Breiland:

"After I received your course I found myself saying things like: No wonder he never listened to me! No wonder he was chewing up the furniture! Wow - so many things I was doing wrong... that's all changed now. I'm doing things right. And my Rottie is hanging on my every word!"

Christy Flanagan:

"Hi Michele, first let me thank you for a GREAT site and book! You were such a tremendous help to me and have made a huge impact on our lives with our pets!"

Joseph Adinaro:

"This book tells you not only what does work, but what doesn't. Before I bought your book I was doing a lot of the "Doesn't work" and it showed in my Dobermann's stubborn behavior. Now I'm doing what you tell me "Does work" and his stubbornness is completely gone."

Lee Yeager:

"Michele, I feel like I already know you, from the friendly way you write. Your book and advice has made a world of difference in our dog's behavior and I just wanted to say thanks."

Paige Dragich:

"First I want to tell you that I have gotten at least 50 times value out of your book compared to what I paid for it. Your educational programs work like a charm. I'm so happy with my dog now."

Dawn Ford:

"If you're looking for that "one" book that covers everything about raising your dog to be well trained, I personally don't believe there's a book out there that delivers more value that Michele Welton's vocabulary program."

Dennis Appleberry:

"In my humble opinion, this is the most practical course on family dog training you will find anywhere. Whatever your dog needs to know, it's in this book."

Teach Your Dog 100 English Words

"My name is Tippy (guess why?)
and now I'm a smart, well-behaved dog
because my owner read this web page!"

Hi! If you're like most dog owners, you were hoping when you got your dog that he would be the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.

You were hoping he would be bright, alert, attentive.

The kind of dog who listens carefully to you.

Who understands what you say.

Who DOES what you say.

We all want a dog like that.

But often...
it doesn't work out that way!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does your dog do any of these things?

Does he bark too much? When people come to the door, does he bark so much that you can barely talk to the other person?
Is he hyper? Does he jump all over people?
Does he go to the bathroom on your floor, or in his crate, or on the furniture?
Does he mouth at your hands, or nip at your ankles or feet?
Does he dart just out of reach when you try to catch him? Does he lead you on merry chases around the house, especially if he has something he doesn't want to give up?
Does he pull on the leash when you try to walk him?
Does he chew up things when you leave him alone?
Does he frequently nudge you for petting when you're trying to read the paper, or talk on the phone, or visit with guests?
Does he brace his legs and refuse to let go when you try to take something away from him that he wants to keep?
Does he struggle or complain when you try to open his mouth to look at his teeth? Or bathe him? Or clean his ears? Or clip his toenails?
Does he grumble or growl when you wake him up? Or when you move him from his favorite chair? Or when you try to take his food bowl or toy away from him? Or when you touch some "sensitive" part of his body, like his tail or paw?
Does he act aggressive or nervous with strangers or other dogs?

Dogs showing aggression and fearfulness

If your dog does any of these things,
don't feel bad.
You're not alone.

Thousands (Really! Thousands!) of dog owners have emailed me with these same problems.

And hundreds of owners have hired me as an obedience instructor and behavioral consultant to HELP them with these problems.

Cuckoo dog out of control In my experience, 99 out of 100 owners say that their dog's behavior could be "better".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's why I wrote...

TEACH YOUR DOG 100 ENGLISH WORDS.

View full cover

So you could solve these problems in the privacy
of your own home.

Without spending $50 or $100 on obedience school.

Without driving to obedience classes every week.

Without an instructor looking over your shoulder.

Without a dozen other owners and dogs milling around you.

I've taught public obedience classes, you see. Several hundred public obedience classes. Believe me, they can be barking bedlam. They are NOT the best environment for learning -- for your dog OR for you. They're just too hectic.

TEACH YOUR DOG 100 ENGLISH WORDS
shows you how to improve your dog's behavior...
by teaching him 100 carefully-chosen English words...
in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Follow my step-by-step, at-home training program and you will JOIN the 1 in 100 owners who have that smart, attentive, responsive, well-behaved dog we all want our dog to be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SO...

If you've just gotten a PUPPY (or if you're PLANNING on getting a puppy)...

I will show you how to turn him into the most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
If your dog is already well-behaved, congratulations!

I can show you how to make him even smarter and more attentive, with the LARGEST VOCABULARY of any dog on your block -- the absolute best dog he can be.
If your dog is currently misbehaving or is trying to be the boss in your household...

I will show you how to stop his behavior problems. He will settle down and start listening to you, paying attention to you, and doing what you ask him to do.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How does this step-by-step program work?

The numeral 2 Here's some good news:
Actually you get TWO programs!

You get my unique Vocabulary Program.

Your dog will learn 100 English words:

Stay.
Come.
Fetch.
Give.
Stop that. Watch me.
Lie down.
Drop it.
Wait.
Quiet. Back up.
Find (someone).
Leave it.
Enough.
Don't touch.

Plus 85 other words!

You can feel pretty confident that your dog will be the ONLY dog
in your neighborhood who will know 100 English words!

You also get my Respect Training Program.

Respect training is MORE than obedience training.

MUCH more than obedience training.

With RESPECT TRAINING, your dog learns:

To listen to you.
To pay attention to you.
To follow your directions.
To look at you when you speak to him.
To let you do ANYTHING with him.

Plain and simple, he learns to respect you. When your dog respects you, he looks up to you. He will do anything for you, and he trusts you to do anything with HIM. A respect-based relationship is what makes a dog a terrific companion.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's in the book? What will your dog learn?

Well, it might be quicker to answer what your dog WON'T learn -- he won't learn how to herd sheep!

What your dog WILL learn is everything he needs to know to be a superb family companion.

Here's a sample of what your dog will learn...

To immediately stop what he's doing when you say "No."
To sit on command. And to STAY sitting. Yes, even when you walk away from him. Yes, even when distractions tempt him to move.
To take things gently from your hand. No grabbing.
To look directly at you when you say his name.
To listen attentively when spoken to. Imagine a dog who pays close attention to what you say!
To come when called. Always.
To never run from you. NEVER.
To wait inside your door or gate. Even when it opens -- even when there are distractions tempting him outside -- until you tell him he can go through.
When you think of how often doors and gates open (usually every day), this lesson alone is worth the price of the whole program.
To wait inside your car without jumping out, even when the doors open.
To play fetch -- to bring his ball or toy back to you after you throw it.
To let go of something when you hold out your hand and ask for it. No more tug-of-war when you need to take something from him.
To search for a specific toy that you ask him to find and bring to you. Lots of fun and VERY impressive to see!
To walk politely on the leash. No more towing you down the street.
To "heel" close beside your left leg when you need him to be especially attentive, such as when another dog is coming toward you.
To find his way home, even from several streets away. Think how valuable this skill will be if, God forbid, he should ever become lost.
To lie down when you tell him to.
To STAY lying down for a half-hour while you do normal household chores. Yes, a full half-hour!
Most obedience classes teach your dog to lie down for only THREE MINUTES while you stand at the end of the leash. In real life, this is useless. You want your dog to lie down and stay put in a corner of the room, off leash, while you (and your guests) do your own thing. Follow the instructions in my program and your dog will do a 30-minute Down-Stay.
Here's something even MORE impressive...

Your dog will learn to lie down quickly when you give an Emergency Down hand signal.
- Even when he's all the way across the room or yard.
- Even when he's running or playing.
The Emergency Down can be a true lifesaver if you suddenly need to stop your dog in his tracks.

I have lots more to teach you! Your dog will learn...

To drop whatever is in his mouth when you tell him to. You never know what sort of trash he might pick up when going for a walk!
To stop barking when you tell him to.
To greet guests politely. No jumping on people who don't want to be jumped on.
To be housebroken. (This means going to the bathroom outdoors, or indoor litter box training for very small dogs.)
To stay home alone without barking or chewing things up.
To get along with strangers and other dogs.
No barking. No growling. No hiding behind your legs, tail tucked. No standing up on his hind legs, pawing at you to be picked up. No bolting fearfully to the end of the leash, trying to escape.
To do 11 tricks! Shake hands. Speak. Crawl. Play dead. Roll over. Beg. Dance. Circle. Kiss. Back up. Catch.
To stand patiently while you brush his coat.
To open his mouth so you can brush his teeth.
To lift each paw so you can clip his toenails.
To accept touching on any part of his body. No struggling or fussing!
To recognize the individual names of all the members of your family -- and to search for someone who is hiding. Also known as Hide 'n Seek!
To negotiate an obstacle course! Hurdles, tunnels, catwalks, even a seesaw. A fun and challenging course you can buy or build yourself.

TEACH YOUR DOG 100 ENGLISH WORDS is my A+ course in good manners and happy obedience. A step-by-step program of "nuts and bolts instructions" that covers every detail you need to know to make your dog the well-behaved companion you've always wanted.

Here's why I'm so sure I can help you.

My husband and me, with our Miniature Poodle, Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

I've been training dogs and teaching obedience classes for over 35 years now.
I'm the author of four hardcover and softcover books, available in bookstores and libraries, on choosing and caring for dogs, cats, and pet birds.
I'm the author of 13 books, available from my web site, on raising and training dogs.
My advice on raising and training dogs has been featured in newspaper columns and on television.
And I've written every word of this 1250+ page web site.

In TEACH YOUR DOG 100 ENGLISH WORDS, I'll share with you all of the advice, shortcuts, and tricks I've learned over my 30 years as an obedience instructor and behavioral consultant. It will be like having your own private instructor in your own home.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My writing is easy to read.

Read through my web site and you'll see that my writing is conversational, straightforward, and easy to read. And sometimes (I hope!) humorous.

I like to write as though I'm sitting across the table talking to you -- one on one.

Since I'm unable to do that with each one of you, writing to you is the next best thing. When I write, I talk directly TO you.

I'm glad that people enjoy reading my writing!
