Bark Busters Called to Help with Tyler Training!!!

Our young black and tan dachshund Tyler has been a challenge to train on some issues, and after 9 months of having him as part of the family, we decided to get help.
  Tyler came to us as a foster dog in Dec. 2012 through Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue.
WHAT WE TAUGHT HIM BEFORE - We took him to puppy school in Petsmart and I've been working with him since we took him in. In December, he didn't know his name, wasn't housebroken and didn't know any commands.
   So, we got him housebroken and taught him his new name "Tyler" (it was Repo before I think).  I also taught him a bunch of commands. "sit, stay, stop, go, up, down, and walk."
  WHAT WE COULDN'T FIXHe wouldn't wait for us to go out the door first; barking at other dogs, runs back and forth along the fence barking at the neighbor's dog (on the other side), run up the stairs first ahead of us, jumps up and down, nips, and runs barking to the front door.
   His behavior toward other dogs has been increasingly hostile whenever we walk- so we called in a professional: BARK BUSTERS.  (click for link) 


It works!  We practiced first in the backyard...
   PROGRESS IN ONE VISIT:  Sharon from Bark Busters came out and talked about Tyler's issues. We signed a contract for two (long) visits and training in the home- where it really mattered. It was amazing.  We already saw some progress to several of those problems during the 3 hour stay / initial meeting with the Bark Busters coach. Tyler has waited for me to go upstairs
