The biggest problem I see in dogs that come to me are people who constantly focus on everything they don’t like about their dog with no focus on what they want. Imagine how confusing it would be to live with people who constantly scolded you for doing things but never took the time to explain and teach what they would prefer instead. Dogs are not machines and they actually are quite good at reasoning and problem solving. It’s our job to set them up for success and show them the way. To do otherwise is unfair and creates more issues than it solves.
If you have a dog and find yourself constantly correcting him, the problem is not the dog. It’s you. Instead of punishing the dog or dumping it, be accountable and get help from a reputable trainer who can not only teach your dog but more importantly teach you how to be a fair, confidence building handler/owner.
