The tiny notice in the store window had few words on it apart from dog training NYcoming soon. Although this was a somewhat mild introduction this was actually big news to anyone who knew Milton Eubanks and realized that he was also the proud owner of dog training NJ. This was a man who had enough faith in his abilities to not just rent but to buy buildings from which to operate his canine instruction businesses. He had clients who were actually on a waiting list to engage his services and he was becoming well known in the world of puppy guidance and education.
Since he could remember Milton had loved puppies and had developed a gentle way of dealing with them. He had not considered the field of canine instruction until he had discovered he had a talent that was being tapped frequently by people that he knew. He also discovered that these same friends and acquaintances were willing to pay generously for his help in developing a well-disciplined animal that they could trust and enjoy more fully. Early on, Milton made his instruction facilities user-friendly by insisting on these four commitments from canine owners:
1. Every puppy would arrive precisely on time and be on a leash even if it seemed to be well-behaved and calm by nature. He knew that there would be other animals who were having trouble behaving and that they would create a disturbance if given the chance until they were well-disciplined enough to control their impulses. His desire was to avoid a situation on the premises that would create unwanted publicity for his business.
2. Each owner had to sign a form promising to attend each class along with their puppy. The theory behind this was that a well-instructed owner holds the key to a well-behaved pet so attendance by the same family member who would take the lead in discipline was mandatory.
3. Each pet owner was required to commit to spending sixty minutes daily performing prescribed drills with his or her pet that were designed to encourage obedience from the animal. Failing to provide this continuity would create an atmosphere where the puppy would sense that instruction and discipline was available only part of the time.
4. Every client was given a sheet with detailed suggestions for diet supplements, scheduled visits to a veterinarian and even grooming hints to further encourage good health and good pet-owner interaction. This type of specific instruction was usually met with surprise from the client but most expressed appreciation after a while when they discovered that the knowledge that Milton imparted created a puppy that was healthy, well-behaved and committed to its owner.
Because Milton used these four strategies and insisted on cooperation from his clients, he found himself in a successful business that produced well-disciplined puppies and also customers who found that his way of dealing with animals showed wonderful results.
