Question
i am planning to buy a lhasa apso.so i have started to research about them.i read that some of them are stubborn and are difficult to house train.then how will i be able to train them?

Answer
Khushi,
Thanks for writing. I have many clients with Lsahas that are housetrained and very cooperative.

People say a dog is stubborn because the dog doesn't do what they want. In most cases it's because the people are not consistent or are following outdated advice.

You can get information about housetraining at my web site.  Good Luck. Thanks for writing.

Puppy questions about House Training, Crate Training, Play-biting? Please visit my website. Site address is http://www.howsbentley.com.

I will answer all questions about canine behavior and training, training methods and equipment. Be ready to provide dog's name, age, sex, breed and how long you have owned the dog. In addition, it'd be great for me to know how long the problem has been occurring, what you have tried to solve the problem(s) and what were the results.

The more information you provide me - the better equipped I will be to offer sound, helpful advice! Thank you.
