How To Train A Dog - The Right Way
There are so many theories and so much conflicting advice regarding the various ways to train our dogs - it's hard to know who to trust and what to believe.
This is what I personally consider to be crucial, and always strive for when training my own dogs:
* To build a strong owner-dog relationship, based on trust and mutual respect.
* To have confidence in, and control of my dogs in any situation.
* Most importantly to have happy, outgoing dogs that are properly socialized.
* To work with my dogs natural drives and instincts.
* Absolutely no cruelty or harsh "old school" training techniques. I certainly don't believe you have to "break a dogs spirit" in the training process. |
