If you are looking for immediate answers to behavioral/training problems, I recommend the training information available at the Denver Dumb Friends League. Not all dog trainers are created equal. The best training method for Wheatens is positive reinforcement. You can locate certified dog trainers who are members of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) by zip code here. If your Wheaten rules the roost, you need to implement the Nothing In Life Is Free (NILIF) regimen. Dogs are not people nor do they think like people. Dogs and especially Wheatens want their "people" to give them boundaries and set the pace. Nothing In Life Is Free will make life easier for the humans and the dog! If your Wheaten is really out of control, Leading the Dance by Shirley Chong may make the difference between surrendering your dog to a shelter or Rescue Group and having a lifelong companion.
