The truth is, unless you learn how to speak your Cavoodle's language, you'll never get success with your training. In this episode, I’m sharing the real key to raising a well-behaved puppy - and it’s not more commands or stricter routines. It’s learning how to speak dog.

Imagine having a puppy who sleeps for 20-22 hours a day, doesn't bite you, jump on you, chew your furniture or have excessive energy.

Imagine having a puppy who sleeps beside you as you watch TV and relaxes in the living room when you have friends over.

Finally, imagine having a puppy who lies quietly at your feet at the coffee shop and doesn't cry or bark for attention from everyone who walks past you. Sounds like a pipe ...
