Eight Easy Steps to Ruining Your Dog


  1. Isolate him. Make sure he thinks the world is a strange place.
  2. Soothe him whenever he is frightened. Tell him it's ok and stroke him gently.
  3. allow him to growl. Tell yourself, "It's ok. He doesn't mean it."
  4. When he strugles to get out of your grasp, let him go. This teaches him that you have no controll.
  5. Hold the leash tight everytime something frightening happens. Even better, say "Uh-oh" as you pull the leash tight.
  6. Never let him play with other dogs.
  7. Don'tneuter him.
  8. Leave him with children unsupervised. Allow children to harass him because he is such a "good dog."
