Greetings from La La Land

Hi, I've only recently discovered Natural Dog Training as a third-way alternative to the two popular paradigms of dog-training. While I have some misgivings about the "quantum mechanical" underpinnings of some of Kevin Behan's more counterintuitive theories on dog emotion, I generally like the approach of enticing your dog(s) to be more, not less, attracted to you.

I have two dogs, which I will here dub V and TC --- V, a very vocal 7-year-old miniature dachshund with a veritible smorgasbord of behavioral "issues," and TC, a pretty-well-adapted-to-the-human-world 55-pound rescue mutt. My guess is that TC is about 3 years old. Both dogs are male.

So hello! I'll be posting some questions about my guys in the days to come. And, thank you, Neil, for providing the space to do so.
