Doggie Sleep-Over Training Camp

Your Dog LIves in My Home with Me and I'm With Your Pet 24/7…Lifetime Training


The amount of time I will spend with your dog in Doggie Sleep-Over Camp is between 500-800 hours! I then spend 6 to 8 hours with you before your pet is allowed to go home so you can learn your part.

When you understand your part your pet will give you the position as a leader. When you change your pet changes.

If we change your belief system and thought process then you will have control of your pet. After Sleep-Over-Camp, private tune-up sessions are free for the life of your dog.

Leonard Ludovico, the Dog Body-Language Specialist, is the only one who will be working with your pet. Leonard is very intuitive and has a natural ability to communicate with your pet.

Your Dog Does Not Stay in a Cage


Your dog gets to sleep in my home. I teach your dog in a way that comes from the animal and not from the human. Your dog will be walking off-leash easily within the first three days, and will feel so comfortable and natural off-leash, that it will become a habit. I don't put a learning curve on any of the pets that I train. That means wherever I go, so does your dog. I am his shadow. I watch every move that your dog makes and he keeps an eye on every move that I make. Your dog learns what behavior is expected throughout the day. I will teach you and your dog to be one and to be in harmony with each other.

I will build your dog’s confidence; improve his behavior and social skills. When your dog understands his pack leadership, obedience falls naturally into place. Your dog gets to run on 5 acres. A perfect place to Rehabilitate your dog.

Dealing With a Fearful Dog


I teach your dog step-by-step how to deal with his/her fear instead of avoiding what he is afraid of. Once your dog learns how to deal with it, it goes away.

The techniques that I teach are to watch the dog's body language. As it starts to go into being fearful, I stop the fear before it overwhelms the dog. If the dog is not allowed to be in that fearful place consistently, the dog can't practice being fearful. Soon, the fear goes away and the dog builds confidence.

A fearful dog can easily turn into an aggressive dog. Fearful behavior usually gets worse instead of better. However, with a little work, it can be corrected. There are no bad dogs.


What To Do If You Recognize Signs of Dominance In Your Dog


Usually, dominant dogs are very loving and affectionate toward people--until you do something they don't like.

    If you think that you dog is dominant or showing dominance-aggression the last thing you want to do is enroll in a group dog training class or contact a behaviorist who advocates using food or clicker training or behavior modification. Usually these people are the first to tell you that you need to destroy your dog and that it can't be trained. They will take your money and tell you that there is hope and then when the Food-Bribery does not work they will tell you to kill your dog.

    Some people would rather you euthanize your dog than admit that they actually don't really know much about canine behavior and will not admit that they can't help you or your dog. They will tell you that it is for the good of the dog and that all attempts to try and save the dog are useless. Because they can't fix the problem, they will blame the dog, and say the dog needs to be "put down."
    We don't believe in giving up on a dog that someone loves. We can help you with even your most difficult dog or problem.

    How big is the problem?

    * About 5 million people are bitten by dogs each year.
    * Almost one in five of those who are bitten :a total of 885,000: require medical attention for dog bite- related injuries.
    * In 2006, more than 31,000 people underwent reconstructive surgery as a result of being bitten by dogs.

    Who is most at risk?

    * Children: Among children, the rate of dog bite–related injuries is highest for those ages 5 to 9 years, and children are more likely than adults to receive medical attention for dog bites than adults. Recent research shows that the rate of dog–bite related injuries among children seems to be decreasing.
    * Adult Males: Among adults, males are more likely than females to be bitten.
    * People with dogs in their homes: Among children and adults, having a dog in the household is associated with a higher incidence of dog bites. As the number of dogs in the home increases, so does the incidence of dog bites. Adults with two or more dogs in the household are five times more likely to be bitten than those living without dogs at home.

    A dominant dog is the leader of the pack.

    If you were to observe the interaction within a litter of seven-week old puppies, you would quickly be able to spot which one is dominant. It is the one that always wins the games, keeps the toys, and eats the most. It also gets to pick where it is going to sleep. The dominant puppy is usually very territorial, as you might expect from a leader.

    A puppy’s dominant behavior does not change when it is separated from the litter and adopted into a new home. The dominant animal will naturally try and take control over its new surroundings and its new owner. Let’s say you’re the new owner. The relationship you develop between a dominant pet and you will determine whether your dog learns to be obedient or learns to be aggressive.

    A dominant dog can become an aggressive dog when it tries to take control in four areas: eating, sleeping, playing, and being touched. For example, if your dog barks at you to get you to feed him, and you do, then your dog knows that it can manipulate you. But instead, you may interpret this behavior as positive, or cute. After all, it would appear that your barking dog has developed a way of communicating its needs to you.

    A common mistake dog owner’s make is attributing human qualities to their pooch. Some might even argue that the canine member of their family is human. But the sad truth is that dogs are not people and therefore, do not think, feel, or relate like us. A dog cannot be raised as you would raise a child. Doing so will only lead to obedience problems between you and your pet. A dominant dog does not perceive situations as do humans.

    Say you allow your dog to sleep on your bed at night. This seems like a harmless thing to do since you are providing a nurturing and cozy environment for your pet. But what you are really doing is teaching your dog that it is not important to respect boundaries. This may further complicate the behavior of a dominant dog that is already showing the early signs of aggression.

    MORE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR

    A dominant dog begins to show signs of aggression when it dictates when and where it eats, sleeps, plays, and is touched. Once the dog feels it controls these four areas, its tendency to behave aggressively becomes worse. If your dog growls at you, misbehaves, or ignores your commands, then your canine has become too aggressive. A dominant dog is a natural-born leader with a tendency to take charge. When it comes to being a faithful companion or man’s best friend, the dominant dog would rather be the boss. He instinctually wants to take control of everything around him, including you. It is this type of behavior that will eventually cause obedience problems for your pet.
