Here’s Why The Coronavirus May Be The Perfect Opportunity To Stop All Of Your Dog’s Behavior Problems

/ Einstein Dog Training/

Why live with a dog that’s driving you nuts– just because of the coronavirus?

While the media carries on and on about COVID 19, you’ve probably noticed one piece of advice that the talking heads tend to gloss over: 

It’s Okay To Go Outside (Especially With Your Dog!)

According to Dr. Ruth Berggren, an infectious disease specialist at UT Health San Antonio: You don’t need to stay cooped up inside your house all day, as long as you’re being smart and cautious.

And according to best selling dog training author Adam G. Katz, “It’s especially important during times like these that you stimulate your dog’s mind through training and play. It prevents a buildup of frustration and anxiety.”

This Change In Routine Can Affect Your dog

If your dog isn’t used to you being home all day, this can create problems now, as well as when you return to work. Structure during this time is important not only for your sanity, but for your dog’s as well.

Your Dog Can Sense Your Emotions

As long as you maintain at least six feet from another human (and remember to wash your hands!) … you’re free to play outside.

You’re going to be alright if you stay home. Both you and your dog. But…

… your dog shouldn’t have to suffer because of this virus.

In case you’re wondering: Dogs can’t catch the coronavirus.

Thankfully.

But even though your dog is safe, is there still a possibility that somebody (a dog trainer, for example?) carrying the coronavirus could touch your dog’s coat and then you later catch the virus when you pet your dog?

Not with our newly developed “COVID 19 Safe” dog training protocol.

Here’s How You Can Still Get Your Dog Professionally Trained (Without Risking Contagion!) … Because Of Our Newly Developed “COVID 19 Safe” Dog Training Protocol 

We’ve been busy developing a safety protocol that allows you to continue to get your dog to listen to you, anywhere you go– without putting you in jeopardy of catching the COVID 19 coronavirus.

Our “COVID 19 Safe” Dog Training Protocol Means That
Your Dog Won’t Miss Out On A Good Education!

This means that we at Einstein Dog Training can still help you stop the biting, barking, nipping, chewing, pulling on the leash, running away, and pretty much every other dog behavior problem you may be dealing with during these trying times. We’re offering:

  • Live video evaluations that are from your home… where our dog trainers can take their time discussing your problems safely. Typically we ask you to send us a few video clips of your dog, and his behavior problem if you can catch it, so the trainer has an opportunity to get to know your dog.

  • “Coronavirus-Safe” pickup and drop-off for Board & Trains. Just to play it on the safe side we’ll meet outside your home and use a same tie-out mechanism (clip our leash on/off so we’re not trading leases) for the “hand off”.  Additionally, once we finish your dog’s “Board & Train” program we’ll bathe him thoroughly (just to be extra cautious) … and once bathed we only handle your dog with gloved hand.

  • All private lessons are now conducted outside. Our dog trainers will coach you through the handling exercises– while staying 6 feet away at all times. Additionally (and again… just to be safe!) gloves will be worn.

  • Skype-based One-on-One Dog Training Programs: For those desperate dog owners who need to play it “extra safe” (for example, if you’re in your Golden Years or you suffer from a compromised immune system) … your dog can still benefit! Skype is a free app that lets anyone video chat between computers, tablets and mobile devices. (Available for both Apple IOS and Google Android). We have designed a dog training “coaching” program that allows us to work with you… without even setting foot in your home!

So instead of you and your dog lying around the house and losing your minds, the coronavirus may end up being the perfect opportunity to stop all of your dog’s behavior problems
