All right. Welcome back to the Make Your Dog Epic podcast here, where we talk about all things related to Tulsa dog training, and on today’s specific show we’re talking about, what does high quality dog training consist of? What does high quality Tulsa dog training consist of? Now, normally we’re joined with JT, but JT, he has an injury. Did you hear about his injury?
James:
I did not.
Speaker 1:
He has a vocal injury.
James:
Oh, come on.
Speaker 1:
I’m injured. I called him today and he sounds like Joan Rivers. He does not sound good. So, if you were thinking about hiring a dog trainer to train your dog, what questions would you have?
James:
I want to know, can you make it sit? Can you make it stay? Can you make sure it doesn’t pee and poop in my house?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and if you were trying to think about paying, you’re going to part with your hard-earned money and pay for a Tulsa dog trainer, what would be those immediate questions that you would ask if somebody, they pick up the phone, “Thank you for calling Make Your Dog Epic. How can I help you?” What would be those first questions you’d ask right off the bat?
James:
Is my dog going to pee in the house when we’re going training it?
Speaker 1:
This is what you would ask?
James:
I would ask that.
Speaker 1:
You would get right into it.
James:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
You wouldn’t be a big rapport guy.
James:
No, I’m just-
Speaker 1:
You’re not going to go, “Oh, yeah. How are you doing? What’s going on?”
James:
I’d be calling. I’d be pissed off. Keep the dog from pooping in my room.
Speaker 1:
But you’re not going to be a warm-up guy. You’re not going to sit there on the phone just talking in circles for a good 10 minutes.
James:
No, let’s get down to business.
Speaker 1:
Okay, well, let me walk you through what does high quality Tulsa dog training consist of? First off, the first lesson that we offer at Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa dog training is always 50 cents. That’ll be my response to you. First lesson is 50 cents, and why would I charge you 50 cents?
James:
You know that your service, your training, your Tulsa dog training works.
Speaker 1:
And it’s 50 cents, so you’re kind of going, all right, well, why not?
James:
I don’t have anything to lose.
Speaker 1:
Now, if I said to you, “Hey, it’s 50 cents,” what would be your follow-up question, you’d probably want to know?
James:
Okay, when’s the soonest you could come out to my house?
Speaker 1:
And we try to get everybody in within 24 hours if we can. Okay, that’s sort of our response time. All right, so now I’d tell you it’s 24 hours, and what would you say next? What would be your next question there? Okay, because you’re the customer, and you’re the one who’s wanting to get the dog trained. What would you ask?
James:
And how much time are you going to spend with my Tulsa dog?
Speaker 1:
Well, let me walk you through it. This is how it works. Okay, so we train your dog for about an hour for the first lesson for 50 cents, and then we’d say, “Okay, based upon White Fang’s behavioral issues, based upon Kujo’s issues, based upon the Yo Quiero Taco Bell dog that you have here that won’t stop biting on people, we’re going to go ahead and recommend this package for you, this package, or this package.” Three packages, and the packages are based upon the breed of the dog and what kind of training you want to provide for the dog, okay?
At the end of the day, people could spend $500 on dog training, other people could spend $3,000 if you’re trying to train a dog, that could be like a guard dog for a high security sort of thing. And then we would say, “Do you want package A, B, or C?” And you’re like, well, I want this one, but this is a little out of my budget, and we’d say, okay, well what about this? And we figure out a package that works with your budget and that works for your breed of dog, and then we tell you how long it should take. Now, this just in, we want to train your dog as fast as possible.
James:
That’s what I want.
Speaker 1:
We don’t want to keep your dog and take your dog for months. We want to take your dog for weeks if we can. It’s like, we would say, “Okay, this should take about two weeks,” and then we role play work with train with the dog until the dog no longer has those behavioral issues. Now, you want to get kind of a sneak peek on how that works?
James:
I do.
Speaker 1:
All right. We’d walk up to your dog, we’d say, “All right, dog. How you doing? You doing good?” And typically, we don’t get a lot of response from the dog at that point, and we’d say, “Okay, we’re going to teach you to sit,” and then we have to go over and over and over the same routine until the dog sits. It’s like shooting free throws. Can you shoot free throws?
James:
I’m okay at free throws.
Speaker 1:
But you get the idea. You practice over and over and over and your coach comes up to you and goes, “No, no, no, bro. You’ve got to hold the ball this way. Bend the knees. Come on. This is how you do it. This is how you, okay, there you go.” Then you just keep doing it.
James:
Right.
Speaker 1:
And then we go, “Okay, let’s go on to the three-pointer. Now that you’ve mastered the layup, now that you’ve mastered the free throw, now we’re going to move on to the three-pointers.” And you just keep doing it over and over and over, so what you’re doing with a dog trainer is you’re paying somebody to go through that monotonous, mind-bending, soul-sucking process of training a dog, so you don’t have to.
James:
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 1:
You could be at the steakhouse going, “Well, I think I will take a medium, well, medium rare, maybe… The time, the time that could be spent thinking about how to train your dog, you can be thinking about what kind of steak you want.
James:
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 1:
Or you could be thinking about nothing, you could be asleep, or you could think about playing volleyball. You could be out for a walk. You are basically paying somebody else to teach a dog to do that what you want the dog to do. And then, how we do it is we want to make sure you’re super happy. That’s why we have so many new great reviews. After we’re done with the dog training, we bring back White Fang, we bring back Kujo, we bring back the dog, and we say, “Your dog now is properly trained and we’d love it if you could leave us an objective Google review,” and that’s how we do it.
James:
That sounds great.
Speaker 1:
And you know what? We even have a scholarship pricing option for families in need, so if you’ve got a family out there and you’re going, “Gosh, White Fang. We got to train White Fang. We got to train it,” but you’re also saying, “We don’t have the money. We don’t have the money to train White Fang.” Well, you got two options here. One, you could say, “Well, we’re going to let White Fang just not be trained, and White Fang could pose a threat to those around us, and we could live in suspended terror of White Fang, wondering if white fang is going to wake up one morning and eat us.” Or you could say, some people can’t afford dog training. Some people actually, they put the dog down. It’s a sad thing, but people put it, have you ever heard about this?
James:
I have. Growing up my dog bit the mailman, it attacked my cousin.
Speaker 1:
So, you’ve heard about people putting the dog down?
James:
Right, yeah.
Speaker 1:
Have you heard about this?
James:
We’ve had family try to get us to put our dog down, but we just never did.
Speaker 1:
You’ve heard about this?
James:
Yeah. It’s a thing.
Speaker 1:
This is a thing that, this is confirmed. You’ve heard about people putting quote-unquote a dog down?
James:
I have.
Speaker 1:
You want to know something shocking?
James:
I do.
Speaker 1:
Most people that put their dog down say the reason why they put their dog down is because the dog is a nuisance and they can’t train it, and their dog’s holding them hostage.
James:
I believe it.
Speaker 1:
And we want your dog to be your best friend, not to be your enemy that’s holding you hostage. The only way that we can get that level of mastery and training is to put in the work and to put in the reps needed to teach your dogs. If you’re out there today and you want to get your dog properly trained, all you got to do, just go to makeyourdogepic.com. Makeyourdogepic.com. What you do is, you fill out the form and you request the first lesson for how much?
James:
50 cents.
Speaker 1:
50 cents, yeah. A lot of times people show up and they’re like, “I don’t have 50 cents.” You know what, buddy? You can keep the 50 cents, but the idea is that it’s a figurative charge. The idea is that you get a chance to experience what we do before we charge you to do it. Now, James, what we’d like to say on the Make Your Dog Epic show is we’ll talk to you again in five minutes. That’s what we like to say. That’s just kind of how we like to end the show, so I’m going to go ahead and end the show by saying that. Are you good with that?
James:
I’m good with that.
Speaker 1:
Okay. I’ll see you in five minutes. All right.
Carl:
Is your dog and furry friend holding you hostage? Will your dog not stop pulling on its leash and eating your sausage? Who wrote that? Well, I don’t mean to brag, but I actually wrote it and wow, it rhymes. People dig it, like a dog. You get it? Okay, so I’m just going to keep reading. Will your dog not stop jumping on you or pooping in your house like you’re on the set of Jumanji or living in a zoo? It only took me two weeks to write that line while sitting at the base of a waterfall while gazing upon my epic dog. The dog that once held me hostage was now my best friend. It’s so good. The dog that would never listen was now all ears. It’s so good. I just want to cry. Pull yourself together, man.

James:
Wow. Man, Carl, you are a talented vocal artist.
Carl:
Well…
James:
You can sense your, I can feel the passion. It’s contagious.
Carl:
Well, my friend, I am passionate about the product. I once went 60 days without sleeping.
James:
Really?
Carl:
My wife’s wedding dress got eaten and my neighbor, Pam, was bitten by my dog.
James:
Oh, man.
Carl:
My quality of life was at an all-time low. I actually didn’t invite people over to my home for months because of the new dog, and I always smelled like urine.
James:
You do still smell a little bit like dog urine.
Carl:
This is why I made my dog epic. I was hostage. That’s where the passion comes from. You’ve got to believe in your product and you’ve got to project from the diaphragm.
James:
The diaphragm.
Carl:
To bend your knees.
James:
Bend the knees, bend the knees.
Carl:
To drink ginger.
James:
Drink the ginger.
Carl:
You’ve got to ingest apple cider vinegar.
James:
Apple cider.
Carl:
With a dog bone, you want to chew on the dog bone before the-
James:
Hard pass. I’m not going to-
Carl:
… recording, so that you can emulate the dog, and you should listen to Atomic Dog.
James:
I can do that.
Carl:
But you’re not a dog, but you want to just chew on the bone. The oversized bone, not the regular.
James:
I’m sorry. Hard pass. Not going to-
Carl:
You wanna-
James:
Not going to chew on the bone.
