Dog Behavior Training Don'ts- What Not To Do With Your Dog - part 1

Dog Behavior Training

Over the years I have seen my clients commit numerous dog training atrocities. Okay, I too have committed my fair share. So let me share the benefit of having seen some dog training mistakes that I have seen time and time again so that you can avoid them. Here are some dog training don’ts.

• Don’t yell at your dog. Too many dog owners seem to feel that the degree in which a voice is raised is directly in proportion to the level of dog obedience. This is not true. In fact it is my experience that the opposite is true. The more you raise your voice at your dog the more you condition your dog to listen only when you are yelling. What happens then when you aren’t yelling? Better to never get in the habit.

• Don’t forget what you have learned. Apply dog training principles across the board. Too many times a dog owner will learn a new technique for a dog training behavior and will apply it dutifully during ‘training time’. But after training time, during ‘TV time’ or ‘cooking in the kitchen time’ that same principle gets swept under the rug. What does your dog learn? He learns that he needs to be obedient only during ‘training time’ and every other time is open season.

• Don’t go too fast. Good dog training is done at the speed of dog. It takes a dog much longer to form an association than it does a human. You have to understand that that your rate of teaching your dog should be slow and steady.
