FROM: Dr. Dennis Fetko, “Dr. Dog”
TO: Frustrated Dog Lovers Everywhere
I want to clarify one point right at the outset:
I Am NOT Talking About
Obedience Training!
Obedience training is a good thing--but learning to “sit”, “stay” and “come” won’t EVER solve your dog’s behavior problems.
If you obedience-train a dog that bites children, you’ll end up with a dog that sits, stays and--bites children. In other words...
You end up with an obedient
dog that still bites!

“Dear Dr. Fetko, The class you put on in Longview was the best canine behavior class I have ever attended. I have been in this crazy business since 1972 and I have read a lot of animal behavior books, attended more than a few animal behavior workshops and dog training classes.
I have found the information and training you provide to be the best and most usable in the animal shelter business.
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that what you are teaching works…"

The methods I reveal in my ebook Dr. Dog’s FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions are not based on some mindless notion or fad. And they’re not just my opinion.
Every one is based on solid animal behavior research ... proven in the field with thousands of dogs.
It really comes down to basic dog psychology ... using the premise that rewards work better than punishment and realizing that dogs don’t understand what the heck you’re talking about when you’re yelling at them for chewing up your slippers.
Yell at your dog and he’ll just look at you with those sad eyes. He might even look remorseful. You think you’ve made your point. But no...
If your dog doesn’t understand what you say, you’re punishing him for being ignorant—not for being bad!
You will learn to “Talk Dog” and really communicate to your dog what you want him to do—and to motivate him so he wants to do it!
So, if you’re just about at wit’s end, friends don’t drop by as often as they used to and the neighbors secretly pray you’d move to the other side of town, there is a solution that’ll make all your worries vanish ... and in just a few days.
“Dear Dr. Fetko, I wanted to write to thank you for the miraculous change in my dogs!
Before your advice, I had no control over my dogs. Outside, they pulled, barked, and jumped on people; inside, they whined, demanded constant attention, and behaved like spoiled brats…
Now we have all changed! We just returned from an enjoyable trip to the shopping center.
My dogs were relaxed and calm in the car, didn’t pull as we walked around, sat down obediently when I stopped, and never once barked! I was secure in my leadership position, happy to praise them when they earned it, and calmly in control.
I have learned to be a better dog-lover!
Thanks, again! Esther L. M., San Diego, CA
Now, with the methods I reveal in my ebook, Dr. Dog’s FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions, you can quickly and easily train your dog to...
- Walk with a loose leash (no more strained arm muscles from Godzilla leaping to take a bite out of that passing Buick)...
- Bark only to warn you and stop when you say “Quiet!” (After a week your overjoyed neighbors might even bake you brownies)...
- Stop chewing up the couch (so you can sit on it, not sink into it)...
- Greet you and visitors without mauling you (no more torn clothing … no more embarrassing claw marks)...
- Eliminate OUTSIDE and in a place you designate (no more daily hunts with the shovel and plastic grocery bag)...
And get this...
You can even train your dog to eliminate ON COMMAND (perfectly humane and a whole lot more convenient for you).
It’s All Fast, Easy and Fun!
After repeated requests from listeners of my weekly radio program and other dog lovers across the globe, I’ve decided to compile all my behavior training “secrets” into an ebook you can instantly download. Start getting positive results today!
“…If every city had Dr. Dog, animal behavior problems would not exist.”

I’ve held nothing back in writing Dr. Dog’s FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions. In my jam-packed ebook, you get solid, no-nonsense solutions to every conceivable problem you may face.

“Dr. Fetko, You’re THE BEST presenter ever to address a Dog Control Conference in our field
in this country. I still receive compliments about the quality and content of the one and only Dr. Fetko’s Seminars.”
New Zealand Dog
Control Conference
“This is an unsolicited letter of praise to add to your collection…I was in possession of a wild and wooly Airedale who thought ‘heel’ was something to chew on.
With your help, Bogart has grown into a strong, understanding and well-mannered friend—whom I would trust with my car, if he had a license to drive.
I am totally impressed at your professionalism and innate ability to train…”
Paul B., San Diego, CA
And another “trick”...

- How to be the boss WITHOUT physical punishment! (Lots of practical, humane ways to show your dog that you’re in charge.) ...(page 11)
Let me pause for just a minute because this is really important…
You will NOT learn how to jerk your dog’s neck with a pinch collar. If anyone has to jerk, choke or beat up a dog to train him, they shouldn’t be allowed near anything with a pulse!
In dog training, “jerk” is
a noun... not a verb!
“You are without a doubt one of the best guests I have ever had the pleasure of interviewing on any subject.
About dog psychology and problems, you are Number One in the Universe. I can’t tell you the superb feedback I received following your appearance on WJNO…I want you back!”

Listen...
I’m just amazed by some of the idiotic methods too many so-called “experts” want to pile at your doorstep. None of that here!
You will NOT…
- Use “clicker training.” Your dog is not a laboratory experiment!
- Squirt your dog with water. How would you like a garden hose in the face?
- Use any harsh methods to control your dog. Train your dog. Don’t attack him!
You WILL …
- Learn to communicate with your dog so he actually understands what you want him to do. (Hey ... dogs are smart. So use my smart strategies. See the jaw dropping difference for yourself!)
- Use gentle methods that truly strengthen the bond of love and respect between you and your dog.
- Enjoy the double takes from your friends and family as they wonder how that troublesome behavior simply vanished.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s more. Much more.
“You provide a tremendous service to dog owners. Now that Tuoca is a two-year-old beautiful, happy, healthy, and well-behaved member of the family, it’s hard to believe she was such a terror as a puppy. While I’ve thanked you many times to myself, this formal THANK YOU is long overdue.
You took the time to talk to one very upset person (me) for no fee, and, in your kindness and knowledge saved my emotional life and, the very real life of Tuoca.
I shudder to think what the outcome of this story would have been if you hadn’t answered your phone that day. Again, thank you!”
Mrs. A. M., San Diego, CA
Easier Than You May Think!
Right about now you may be thinking, “Oh my gosh! That‘s an awful lot to learn.” Or maybe this: “My dog is so set in his ways, he’s never going to change.”
Not true ... on both counts.
When you learn my secrets of “talking dog” ... thinking like your dog ... teaching Atilla to behave becomes amazingly quick and easy! And so many dog owners tell me when they do “talk dog”, their dog seems much smarter than they ever thought possible!
And get this...
Proven Methods ... 96.4%

Only you’ll learn my proven tactics instantly ... no trial and error ... no long years of research. I teach these methods to Animal Control Officers, Humane Society staffs and in University Veterinary Schools. And now they are yours!
“I can say that your presentation aided me greatly with one of my Irish. I realized ‘our’ problem was mostly my fault!
‘Am pleased to say that after just two days, things have improved TREMENDOUSLY—and that deserves a huge THANKS!”
Jan S., Bonita, CA
Each chapter is devoted to a specific behavior so you can find the solution to your problem quickly. And get this...
Retraining takes just a few
minutes a day for just a few days.
Boom! Problem solved.
It’s that easy!
If you’ve already tried conventional obedience training, you know it won’t solve behavioral problems. If you’ve been thinking of dog training, let me save you hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars and a lot of additional headaches (like carpet cleaning, furniture repair and possible lawsuits).
I can’t tell you how many of my clients have tried obedience training and even weeks of “Board and Train”--for thousands of dollars—and have given up hope of ever having the dog they wanted. They are incredulous when my “fast, easy, and fun” methods finally solve their dog’s behavior problems
including barking, chewing, fighting, biting, aggression, soiling,
jumping, and more...
