Smart But Stubborn!
“What can I say! I’d heard Porties were smart but stubborn, and how true that is! At only 9 weeks, Boomer had learnt how to open the lid of our trash can and help himself to the contents and he wasn’t interested in listening to what we had to say. But after just 10 days of working through your training guide we have seen such a difference. The step-by-step instructions are very easy to follow – and great fun for Boomer too!! Thanks for giving us back some control over our loveable hooligan!”

Dear Portuguese Water Dog Lover

How would you like a perfectly well-behaved and happy Portuguese Water Dog? A Portuguese Water Dog that really listens to what you want, respects you and is a joy to own?

And wouldn’t you feel great if you could achieve this in a way that is risk-free, stress-free and fun for both you and your dog?

If so, I know you’ll find this letter to be extremely valuable because what I’m about to tell you will blast away many common misconceptions about this special breed and reveal the astonishing truth: namely, that there is a right way and a wrong way to getting the best from, and for, your Portuguese Water Dog.

Perfect family pet or destructive, uncontrollable nuisance?

Hi, my name’s Michelle Garde. I’m not a professional dog trainer or anything fancy but I am mad about Portuguese Water Dogs and share my life with Portia, a beautiful white bitch.

If you’re anything like me, I’m guessing that what attracted you to Portuguese Water Dogs in the first place was a combination of two things: first that Portuguese Water Dogs are just amazing looking dogs and second the commonly shared view that – with their compact size and happy-go-lucky temperament – Portuguese Water Dogs make the perfect family pet. (You can’t get a much better recommendation than being the family dog of choice for the President of the United States!)

For me, this amazing combination made the question as to whether to buy my own Portuguese Water Dog a no-brainer. But, as I soon found out, all is not quite as it seems…

Okay, there’s no doubting that Portuguese Water Dogs are gorgeous dogs: with their big brown eyes, soft curly coat and happy wagging tail…Who can resist? But what few people will tell you is that these dogs have distinct behaviour patterns hard-wired into their brains that make them very different from any other dog.

Or, to put it another way,

If you fail to understand what makes your Portuguese Water Dog tick, you’ll be tearing your hair out with frustration

I know, because I found out the hard way.

Allow me to go back to the beginning…

I first brought Portia home when she was only 7 weeks old. I’d always had dogs in the family as a child (although never a Portuguese Water Dog) and I applied exactly the same training methods to Portia that I remembered my parents using with our family dogs.

An all-too-common problem...

Imagine my shock and frustration when, far from becoming the delightful, happy and well-behaved pet I’d always longed for, Portia became stubborn, destructive and, increasingly, just plain naughty.

In the first 6 months alone, she:

  • Urinated (and worse) all over my floors on pretty much a daily basis, even though I sternly told her off. I used newspaper and even special training pads, but nothing seemed to work

  • Ripped up my entire kitchen floor

  • Chewed her way through 2 TV remote controls, one cell phone, one pair of slippers and my daughter’s favourite ‘snuggle’ blanket, despite the fact that I gave her plenty of toys of her own

  • Annoyed my neighbours with persistent whining and barking

  • Dug up my newly planted bedding plants

  • Frequently ran away when I let her off the leash and would not come back, in particular chasing after anything that moved

  • Constantly chased after my children, jumping up at them, mouthing them and generally being a nuisance

  • Jumped up at every visitor who came to the door and constantly pestered them for attention

  • Followed me around everywhere trying to nip at my feet and ankles

  • Stole food from the kitchen table when no one was looking

Sound familiar? If you’re already a Portuguese Water Dog owner, I’m prepared to bet my bottom dollar that by now you’re beginning to mutter “Tell me about it!” because what I know now, is that all of these behaviours are very common in Portuguese Water Dogs.

If you’re not yet a Portuguese Water Dog owner, you might find Portia’s list of escapades quite amusing but, I can tell you, I was at my wit’s end. Portia was making my life a misery and I felt I couldn’t trust her with anything. I knew something had to be done.

I started by looking in almost all the corner bookstores around. I found many books authored by so-called ‘dog experts’, bought them happily and started reading. But when I applied the tips given, many of them just didn’t seem to work.

Most of the books I read didn’t work…because they were dog books, NOT Portuguese Water Dog books

I quickly came to the conclusion that either Portia was a doggy freak or these so-called dog experts couldn’t possibly have ever had a Portuguese Water Dog of their own. And desperate though I was, I wasn’t ready to give up on Portia yet so I chose to start the long process of trying to find out more about Portuguese Water Dogs, and here’s what I did:

  • Over the course of a few months I tracked down and communicated with 373 Portuguese Water Dog lovers around the World, using internet forums and chat rooms to get their input and learn from their experiences

  • I spent many evenings in front of my computer searching for and reading every article I could find about Portuguese Water Dogs

  • I spent time with 2 professional dog trainers who had specific experience of training Portuguese Water Dogs and were able to give me the low-down on Portuguese Water Dog behaviour problems and how to cure them and also simple but effective methods to specifically train Portuguese Water Dogs to sit, stay, lay down, come and more, and

  • I spoke to my vet and local veterinarian training hospital who gave me great advice on keeping a Portuguese Water Dog healthy and how to prevent and cure common (and less common Portuguese Water Dog illnesses and diseases.

It was hard work, but boy was it worth it – and what an eye-opener!

I quickly found out from many other Portuguese Water Dog owners that I wasn’t alone with my frustrations, which was a huge relief to me – and them.

It Was Such A Relief To Find Your Guide...
“I’ve had lots of dogs before (2 Labs, a Schnauzer, a Yorkie and a collie cross) so I was confident that I wouldn’t have any problems training Toast even though I’d not had a Portie before. How wrong I was! Toast was (literally) running circles round me and I’m ashamed to admit that I got so frustrated one day that I even smacked him. It was such a relief to find your guide and to embarrassing to realise that I had been doing most things wrong. I hadn’t realised what a special breed Porties are but now I understand them I wouldn’t go for any other breed of dog!”
Daniel Porter, Long Beach, CA

And what I discovered from the dog trainers was a real surprise. You see, it turns out Portuguese Water Dogs aren’t always the easy option so many of us are led to believe. What I hadn’t realised is that Portuguese Water Dogs have distinct behaviour patterns and that if these aren’t acknowledged, taken into account and dealt with in the right way, a Portuguese Water Dog can quickly become a stubborn, destructive and uncontrollable pet. I had been doing it all wrong – and I can’t tell you how guilty I felt.

The good news is that through my research, I also discovered that there is a simple, effective and kind way of communicating with and training your Portuguese Water Dog that taps into the way their minds work and has them desperate to please you. The results are phenomenal and I was amazed: after only 11 days of consistently applying the knowledge I had learned, Portia was already becoming a different dog. She was so much happier and calmer and really listened to what I asked of her. Two months later and she was the happy, well-behaved and fun dog I had always dreamed of. I was so happy.

I knew then that I had to share the information I had learned with as many Portuguese Water Dog lovers as possible so that these beautiful dogs and their owners wouldn’t have to go through the same stresses that Portia and I did. And so I wrote:

“Hi there. I just thought I’d give you an update on Benson. As you suggested, I had a sit down with the kids and explained to them the importance of teaching Benson what was and wasn’t unacceptable behavior. They now understand that certain games are off limits and also that Benson needs some quiet time too. They also know what to do if he becomes too rowdy. It’s made such a huge difference to Benson’s behaviour and I feel a lot more relaxed about his interaction with the kids. Thanks for all your help.”

Enjoy peace of mind – and an unbeatable offer

Okay, tell me if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing that by now you’re probably thinking “Hey, this promise of a happy, healthy and obedient Portuguese Water Dog sounds like just what I need but, you know what, I don’t know who the heck this Michelle woman is and I’m worried about being taken for a ride.”

And you know what? I don’t blame you. I feel exactly the same about the many offers for different things I see made on the internet every day. There are a lot of people out there who are just after a quick buck and really don’t care about the quality of their product - or about what their customers think.

So, just to make sure you’d feel 100% comfortable about choosing my Portuguese Water Dog guide, I sat down and thought really hard about what I personally would expect by way of reassurance from someone selling to me – and believe you me, I’m quite a hard task-master!

So, here’s what I came up with - and what I’m happy to offer you:

  • Money-back guarantee: you’ve already read some of the many testimonials from Portuguese Water Dog lovers like you who have followed the tips and techniques in my guide with amazing success: achieving happy, stress-free and rewarding relationships with their Portuguese Water Dogs.

And I tell you something, I don’t know of anyone else offering this level of customer satisfaction – anywhere!

  • Amazing value for money: While I was doing my research for this Portuguese Water Dog guide, I was shocked at the prices some of my competitors are trying to charge for their books about Portuguese Water Dogs. Why not take a look yourself? I can tell you something, it’s not the kind of money I had available to spend.

The way I see it, I want as many people as possible to learn the kind and fun way to living happily with their Portuguese Water Dogs. Portuguese Water Dogs are such special dogs and it breaks my heart to hear stories from people who have become so frustrated and desperate that they’ve had their Portuguese Water Dog re-homed.

I want all Portuguese Water Dog owners to understand how their Portie’s mind works - that there is a right way and a wrong way to looking after these beautiful dogs – so that fewer Portuguese Water Dogs fall off the rails and so that all owners can experience the same pleasure and joy that I have experienced with my own dog.

With that in mind, it’s important to me that this guide is affordable for everyone. So I’m making no apologies for not offering any gimmicky discounts; the price you see is the price you pay…

“Portuguese Water Dog Savvy” is yours for just $27.75 – that’s less than the cost of a family trip to the movies!

And if it saves you just one trip to the vet or one pair of chewed up shoes, you’re already on to a winner.
