All right, welcome back to the Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa podcast here where we talk about all things related to dog training right here in Tulsa, Rusalem. James, I got to ask you if you had somebody that gave you the gift of a dog, let’s pretend that this happened.
James:
Okay.
Speaker 1:
So someone gave you a dog that… First off, would you want a dog if someone gave you a dog?
James:
It depends on the dog.
Speaker 1:
Noelle, do you have a dog?
Noelle:
I do have a dog.
Speaker 1:
What kind of dog do you have?
Noelle:
I have a Husky.
Speaker 1:
A Husky. Now, did your dog show up as a well-trained animal? Did you train the dog? Who trained your dog?
Noelle:
I actually trained my dog. He was not well-trained at all.
Speaker 1:
How many hours of your time did it take you to train the Husky?
Noelle:
Oh, he did not grow out of his crazy phase until a year and a half.
Speaker 1:
Really? So you spent a lot of time training the dog?
Noelle:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
Did you look into hiring a dog trainer or did you decide you’re just going to do it yourself?
Noelle:
I didn’t, I just looked at doing it myself, but I kind of wish I would have had someone train him.
Speaker 1:
How many hours do you think you spent training the dog?
Noelle:
Oh, it was a daily thing. So every day after work, every day on my days off, working on him constantly.
Speaker 1:
That kind of defined that year of your life?
Noelle:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
The year of the dog.
Noelle:
The year of the dog.
Speaker 1:
Okay. So James, this is what happens is people reach out to us all the time at Make Your Dog Epic and they’re looking for someone to train their Tulsa dog. Okay. Now, if you were reaching out to have someone train your dog, what would be the first questions you would ask there James?
James:
How much does it cost?
Speaker 1:
Oh, Noelle, what question would you ask?
Noelle:
What is their specialty? What are they good at?
Speaker 1:
Okay, let me answer. Here we go. So first off, the first lesson’s always 50 cents. And James, the reason why it’s 50 cents is because we want you to be able to experience this focused-based positive reinforcement strategy that we use and see it first-hand for 50 cents. That way if you’re like hard past, I’m out. Don’t agree with it, don’t like it, you’re out 50 cents. That’s the idea.
James:
Got it.
Speaker 1:
Now people feel comfortable with us training their dog and Noelle, what was your question there?
Noelle:
How well they’re going to train him. Like the quickness of it?
Speaker 1:
Yeah. Well, this is how it works here. Basically, if we meet you, we do the demo for 50 cents and you decide that we’re a good fit to train your Tulsa dog, then the next step would be we would say, okay, we have package A, B, or C. Right? And package A, our first package takes about a week to train the dog. Package two takes about two weeks. Package three takes about three weeks. Now, depending upon the breed of the dog and the level of training that you want, that determines the package. Let me give you an example.
If you want to teach your dog every possible trick like a show dog, you want your dog to put on a laser show. James, when you bring people over to your home, you want your dog to be like a magician?
James:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
Going to be package three.
James:
I love that.
Speaker 1:
Now, if you want your dog to just stop jumping on people, when you say come, it does, it sits when you ask it to, these sorts of things, that would be package one, package two is somewhere in the middle there, and then we have packages for every different kind of budget. Now, James, when people reach out for dog training, what’s the emotional state of the average person do you think when they go to make your dog epic and they request that first Tulsa dog training lesson?
James:
Oh, they just love their dog so much.
Speaker 1:
Noelle, what do you think?
Noelle:
I think they’re stressed out and they’re trying to figure out what to do with this new puppy that they just got.
Speaker 1:
See, this is what happens is people, they get the dog and they think it’s going to be easy to train, but then the dog poops in their closet and they’re going, that’s not good because I have to be at work at 9:00. And they discover the crappage in the closet at 8:30 and now they’re going, “Oh, come on.” And they can’t let that thing just sit there all day. They got to deal with it and now they’re like, “Oh, my dog just, I don’t know. It’s just frustrating.” People say, “How are you?” People at work say, “How are you?” And they go, “I’m fine, my dog pooped in my closet, you know.” And then they come home and they think that their dog was in the pen or in its area and they find that their dog has headbutted its way through or clawed its way through or bitten through the bottom of, can you relate to this Noelle? Have you seen this kind of behavior?
Noelle:
Yes. Oh, my dog, I swear he is a magician, he escapes everything.
Speaker 1:
And then they find… James, it’s like a week into it now, now the dog has eaten one of their shoes and it’s not that big of a deal except it’s a big date they’re going on. If it was their shoe, the shoe matched their clothing for the night, they had a plan. They had a plan, Noelle, they were going to dress a certain way for the big date, and now the dog ate the shoe. Can you relate to this, Noelle?
Noelle:
Yes. I’ve gone through many boots that my dog has eaten.
Speaker 1:
Many boots, and at a certain point, let’s just say the boots were a premium brand. You go, well, that’s $200. And now you go, if it was like a cheap shoe, you bought a shoe, one of these pay less things, a shoe that goes with a certain outfit. It’s like a shoe you’ll probably wear it once, but it was $50 or $40. Now you’re like, “Oh, I ate my $50 shoe, my $2 shoe.” Pretty soon you’re starting to think, this dog’s costing me a lot of money here.
James:
Time to put that dog in a headlock.
Speaker 1:
And so people start to, this is where, this is where it gets weird. This is where it gets weird. Okay? Usually it’s the husband or wife. One of them will be talking and they’ll go, “Well, I have a solution, we’ll put it down.” And the other one’s like, “Are you kidding me? You can’t put down my husky. We just got it. You’re sick, here I’ll put you down.” And then they’re going, “Well, you’re threatening to put me down because I wanted to put down the dog?” Now all of a sudden, the sparks are flying. People are upset. Noelle when you had the husky, were other people living with you at the time or was it just you?
Noelle:
Just me.
Speaker 1:
And so were you upset?
Noelle:
Oh, I was so upset. He ate through so many things that were very valuable to me too.
Speaker 1:
Really?
Noelle:
Oh yeah. One of those being my Bible.
Speaker 1:
No.
Noelle:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
Are you serious?
Noelle:
Serious. I was like, what is wrong with you dog?
Speaker 1:
Did you put the dog down?
Noelle:
I didn’t.
Speaker 1:
So you still have the dog. You worked through that cycle?
Noelle:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
James. I mean, do you know of people who have put a dog down? Have you heard about this?
James:
Yeah, I’ve heard about that. When the dog’s bad, you just take it out back.
Speaker 1:
No, no, you don’t. What you do is you go to Make Your Dog Epic. And James, I’ll make sure I’m teaching you something. The first lesson is how much?
James:
50 cents.
Speaker 1:
And then after you figure out the package and if it’s the right fit for you, we do the work for you so you can continue having your job. You can continue going to your workouts, going to your movies, hanging out with your friends, your family, you don’t have to change your lifestyle. That’s what we do. We’re going to take time out of our schedule to train your dog. That way when you get your dog back, you have a well-behaved dog. And the question is, what does it cost? 50 cents for the first lesson. And then we have all different dog training packages to work with your budget. So again, if you’re in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area and you’re looking for a Tulsa dog trainer that can train that Tulsa dog, we’re here for you.
And James, is there any other follow-up questions that you would ask if you had this Husky that was just eating the items that mattered to you most? Any other questions that you would ask before entrusting a Tulsa dog trainer to train your dog?
James:
Are you going to kick my dog? Because I’m the only one that’s allowed to do that.
Speaker 1:
No, we’re not going to. James, you are sick. No, it’s a positive reinforcement training system. So when you come to the first lesson, you’ll notice that the dog actually likes the training. It’s like a blasty-blast. It’s going to be a great time. Noelle, any other questions that you would have before hiring someone to train your Tulsa dog?
Noelle:
What is your success rate?
Speaker 1:
Oh, that’s a great question. Now this is the way we do it. Now, JT can’t be here, he had a throat injury today. He sounded like Joan Rivers when I called him. I think his voice went out there. He wasn’t used to as many podcasts as we did yesterday. I think he wore out there a little bit. But the way it works is he says it’s a 98% success ratio. I think what it means is for every 100 dogs he trains, it’s a money back guarantee by the way, for every 100 dogs he trains, all but two of those dogs he can train. That’s his average right now.
James:
Wow.
Noelle:
That’s pretty successful.
James:
Yeah, pretty successful. So again, folks, if you want to schedule that first lesson, all you got to do to go to makeyourdogepic.com, that’s makeyourdogepic.com and schedule that first Tulsa dog training lesson for just 50 cents. Thank you guys, and James, I’ll see you in about five minutes.
Mancar:
Is your dog and furry friend holding you hostage?
Speaker 1:
Will your dog not stop pulling on its leash and eating your sausage? Who wrote that?
Mancar:
Well, I don’t mean to brag, but I actually wrote it and-
Speaker 1:
Wow.
Mancar:
It rhymes, people dig it like a dog. Do you get it?
Speaker 1:
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?
Mancar:
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.
Speaker 1:
It’s so good.
Mancar:
The dog that would never listen was now all ears.
Speaker 1:

Mancar:
Well, I…
Speaker 1:
You can sense… I can feel the passion. It’s contagious.
Mancar:
Well, my friend, I am passionate about the product. I once went 60 days without sleeping.
Speaker 1:
Really?
Mancar:
My wife’s wedding dress got eaten and my neighbor Pam was bitten by my dog. And-
Speaker 1:
Oh man.
Mancar:
My quality of life was at all time low. I Actually, I didn’t invite people over to my home for months because of the new dog. And I always smelled like urine.
Speaker 1:
You do still smell a little bit like dog urine, just a little.
Mancar:
That’s why I made my dog epic, I was hostage, and that’s where the passion comes from. You got to believe in your product, and you’ve got to project from the diaphragm.
Speaker 1:
The diaphragm.
Mancar:
To bend your knees.
Speaker 1:
Bend the knees, bend the knees.
Mancar:
Drink ginger.
Speaker 1:
Drink the ginger.
Mancar:
You’ve got to ingest apple cider vinegar.
Speaker 1:
Apple cider, I can do that.
Mancar:
With a dog bone. And you want to chew on the dog bone, before-
Speaker 1:
Hard pass, not going to-
Mancar:
Recording so that you can emulate the dog. And you should listen to Atomic Dog.
Speaker 1:
I can do that.
Mancar:
But you’re not a dog. But you want to just chew on the bone, the oversized boat, not the regular-sized bone.
Speaker 1:
Hard pass, not going to chew on the bone.
