Trouble Shooting Section

Dog won’t let you trim it because the clippers are too loud. Try scissors. Get more quiet clippers. Send the dog to the groomer to get a patch from a professional.

When a dog (mostly puppy) will not comply at all. Take the dog outside, walk it around, play with it, etc. Then go back and try again. 

When a dog throws a fit when you introduce the prong collar. Be gentle but stern and explain to the family ( especially if the dog has been getting away with pulling and doing what it wants on a leash) that the dog is testing to see what it can get away with and that I am letting the dog "have its moment" and figure out on its own that it can pull and whine all it wants but its not going to get him anywhere. 

When a dog is a baby and cries about everything. The best way to get over this is to be gentle and let the dog learn that whining and crying isn’t going to help it get its way.
