You’re not struggling with your dog’s behavior because there’s a shortage of free, quality, transformative training information.
You’re struggling because:
1/ You’ve been programmed to think that your dog is a fragile creature, who if exposed to any challenge, pressure, consequence… will crumble due to the “trauma.”
2/ You’ve been programmed to believe that if you appropriately discipline your dog, they will be sad, dislike you, and you will ruin your relationship.
3/ You’ve been programmed to equate being soft, permissive, and conflict avoidant with being emotionally progressive, sophisticated, and humane.
The truth? All 3 are terribly dysfunctional, unhealthy messages which have derailed what is actually a simple, common sense, easily navigated canine/human dynamic… once the toxic, undermining messaging is removed.
On one hand, finding your way with your dog in this day and age is easier than ever. Everything you need information and tool wise is available to anyone who has their head screwed on straight. On the other hand, finding your way is harder than ever. Not because the training is actually difficult, but because we’ve become a society of soft, permissive, fragile, doormats.
Your dog is ready to transform, as soon as you are.
TLDR: Grow a pair. Your dog isn’t the fragile, confused one, you are.
