All right. Welcome back to another exciting edition of the Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa Dog Training Podcast. And we’re joined here with Carter. Now Carter, do you have a dog? Do you actually own a dog?
Carter:
I do own a dog.
Speaker 1:
What kind of dog do you have?
Carter:
Oh, that’s a really good question because I really don’t know.
Speaker 1:
Is it a mixture? Is it a dog that’s… Is it threatening?
Carter:
No, he’s not threatening, but he is a mixture, yes.
Speaker 1:
How’d you find your dog?
Carter:
When I lived in Ohio, my roommate’s dog had a breed in Cleveland and there was a picture of 10 dogs, and I said, “I want that one.”
Speaker 1:
Now. This is a controversial idea. I’m going to throw it out to you. You tell me if it seems like it makes sense to you. If it doesn’t, I get it. Okay?
Carter:
Okay.
Speaker 1:
Certain people have a lot more money than time, and certain people have a lot more time than money. There are certain people that have a lot more money than time, and other people have a lot more time than money. So what we find at Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa Dog Training is a lot of people, they have a dog and they’re a doctor, they’re a dentist, they’re a lawyer, they’re a teacher, and they work 40 hours a week, 50 hours a week. They’re raising kids. And they get the dog, but the dog is no longer behaving the way they thought the dog would. When they got the dog, they saw the cute dog, they thought, “This will be a great dog. It’ll be a great addition for the family. It’ll be great. It’s a holiday gift for my husband, for my wife. It’s going to be great.”
But they didn’t anticipate that their dog would begin jumping on people, pulling on the leash, threatening their neighbors, peeing in the closet. They did not foresee this happening and now they’re going, “I don’t have the time needed to train my dog.” And then one of the spouses, it’s usually the husband who’ll say, “Well, let’s put it down.” And the wife’s like, “We just got it. It’s a puppy. It’s six months old. You can’t put it down.” And he says, “Well, I’ll put it down.” And then she goes, “Stop it. You stop saying that. I’ll put you down.” He says, “You’ll put who down?” She says, “I’ll put you down.”
Carter:
Oh, this escalated.
Speaker 1:
He says, “Are you threatening me?” All of a sudden his wife just threatens him with putting him down. You get what I’m saying?
Carter:
Kind of.
Speaker 1:
And we can’t have this sort of rhetoric being thrown around. I mean, this is not diplomatic. No, no, no. What we say is, “Why don’t you go to makeyourdogepic.com, makeyourdogepic.com, and you fill out the form. The first lesson’s 50 cents, and then you can ask us questions like, where can I train my dog? When can you train my dog?” What question would you ask if you went to Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa Dog Training and you filled out the form? What would be the question that you would ask?
Carter:
I would be like, “Can you help my dog not be a terror in my house?”
Speaker 1:
Okay. So I would say, “Absolutely.” What else would you ask me? Come on, I’m just-
Carter:
Can you help my dog stop pulling on his leash?
Speaker 1:
Absolutely. We could definitely. That’s what we do. We specialize in teaching Tulsa dogs to stop pulling on the leash. Then what would you ask? I mean, again, you’re talking about your hard-earned money now. You’re a busy person. You’re not just throwing around money. What else would you ask?
Carter:
What sort of a training curriculum would you use for my dog there?
Speaker 1:
There it is. There it is. And this is what I’d say on the phone to you, Carter, as a potential customer. I’d say, “Well, the first lesson’s 50 cents, so you can come out and see. We have this thing called focused-based positive reinforcement training. So what it means is we’re going to work with your dog to gain focus, gain control, gain mastery over the dog itself. So the dog, you change its behavior without changing its personality. But because there are so many different kinds of dog training theories that exist, we want you to be present during the first lesson so you can see that your dog’s actually going to have a good time and that what you’re doing is you’re essentially paying us to invest the time to train your dog as opposed to you investing the time.”
And then we say, “Now that we’ve had our first lesson for 50 cents, we have package A, we have package B, we have package C, based upon the breed of the dog and what you’re looking to do. I mean, if you want to teach your dog to become a guard dog, a bird hunting dog, one of these dogs you take hunting, if you want to have your dog learn certain tricks, maybe that’s a more expensive package. And if you’re just saying, ‘I want my dog to sit, to come when I want it to come, I want it to stop peeing on things,’ maybe that’s a less expensive package. But we work with you to find the right package based upon your dog’s breed and your expectations, and then that’s how it works. But you’re out 50 cents.”
Carter:
Ooh, that’s tough.
Speaker 1:
Now, what else would you have? What would be the final question that you would have? Again, if you were out there looking for someone to train your Tulsa dog, what would be the question that you would ask?
Carter:
It’s tough because I got to put myself in that moment, you know?
Speaker 1:
Put yourself in the moment. I know you’re on the verge of jogging. You’re going to leave in just a second to go jogging or whatever, but take yourself out of the jogging mode. Imagine that you had a dog. You just got the dog for your wife. The dog’s misbehaving. You said to your wife, “If we can’t get the dog under control, I’m going to put it down.” She just said to you, “I’ll put you down.” And next thing you know, you’re like, “What? Is this a threat?” Now you’re sleeping with your roommate who’s a guy you knew from college. You’re living alone in a van. You’re not on the verge of jogging. That’s where you’re at mentally, what question would you ask?
Carter:
Okay, sadly, I’m there now. What kind of time can I expect to see these behaviors to get done by?
Speaker 1:
Great question. Package A, the first package, takes about one week. So one week you’re done living with the guy in the van.
Carter:
I’ll take that one.
Speaker 1:
All right. Package two, it’s two weeks because you’re teaching the dog more things. Now, you played sports. You could throw a baseball. How long would it take a young man or how long would it take you to teach a young man how to shoot a layup? A guy who’s second-grader.
Carter:
Second-grader that’s moderately athletic, I could probably teach in an hour.
Speaker 1:
Okay. But it’s an hour of your time that would be invested into teaching this process.
Carter:
That’s true.
Speaker 1:
Now, if you weren’t going to do it, someone else has to do it, and that’s how it works. And so if you’re out there today and you want to train your dog to stop being Cujo, White Fang, or some sort of animal that’s sucking your soul, if you want to stop having these crazy conversations in your home about your spouse wanting to put you down, then you need to schedule that first consultation today at Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa Dog Training.
Carter, I appreciate you. I wish all the listeners could see you. I know all the listeners could smell you. Thank you so much for your time, and we’ll talk to you soon.
Carter:
All right, thanks.
Speaker 1:
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.
Speaker 3:
It’s so good.
Speaker 1:
The dog that would never listen was now all ears.
Speaker 3:
It’s so good, I just want to cry.

Speaker 3:
Wow. Man, Carl. You are a talented vocal artist.
Speaker 1:
Well, well, I-
Speaker 3:
I can sense your… I could feel the passion. It’s contagious.
Speaker 1:
Well, my friend, I am passionate about the product. I once went 60 days without sleeping.
Speaker 3:
Really?
Speaker 1:
My wife’s wedding dress got eaten and my neighbor Pam was bitten by my dog, and-
Speaker 3:
Oh man.
Speaker 1:
My quality of life was at all-time low. I actually didn’t have… I didn’t invite people over to my home for months because of the new dog. And I always smelled like uric.
Speaker 3:
You do still smell a little bit like dog urine. Just a little.
Speaker 1:
So I made my dog epic. I was hostage. And that’s where the passion comes from. You’ve got to believe in your product and you’ve got to project from the diaphragm.
Speaker 3:
The diaphragm.
Speaker 1:
To bend your knees.
Speaker 3:
Bend the knees, bend the knees.
Speaker 1:
Got to drink ginger.
Speaker 3:
Drink the ginger.
Speaker 1:
And you’ve got to ingest the apple cider vinegar.
Speaker 3:
Apple cider. I can do that.
Speaker 1:
And with a dog bone, you want chew on the dog bone before them.
Speaker 3:
Hard pass. I’m not going to-
Speaker 1:
And recording so that you can emulate the dog and you should listen to Atomic Dog.
Speaker 3:
I can do that.
Speaker 1:
But you’re not a dog. But you want to just chew on the bone, get the oversized bone, not the regular sized bone. It’s [inaudible 00:09:00].
Speaker 3:
Hard pass. Just not going to-
Speaker 1:
You want to-
Speaker 3:
Not going to chew on the bone.
