If there is one command that gives owners grief, it is the COME command. They scream, they threaten, they beg, they chase, they bribe and cajole – and their dogs still do not come when called.
Selective breeding has changed the “wrapping”, but not the contents. Domesticated dogs – be they toy or giant, sporting or non-sporting, long-haired or short – are still at their core, DOGS,
When we come to the inevitable subject of discipline, most women start to shy away. They want better control, but they don’t want to discipline a dog as a means of getting that control.
My friend could not get her horse to cross this or any OTHER wet ground on her rides. It was seriously limiting her life with this horse. I decided to try my dog training approach.
I explain to busy super moms that the secret to getting the household under control, and the dog better behaved with the family is less yelling, and better management.
Her call today, however, was to tell me that one of her two beloved dogs died tragically last week, after her collar became entangled in her brother’s mouth while playing.
What makes a dog – any dog – feel secure is predictability and structure in their life. This goes double for a rescue dog. What has been missing in their life is predictability and routine.
Did you know that dogs were not designed to make independent, responsible choices? They are pack animals. A well behaved dog depends on boundaries and limits being set 24-7 by their pack mates.
Because dogs by nature are not looking to a female for pack leadership, we women often start out with two strikes against us in the control department with our dogs.
A full, informative and fair review of training collars is way overdue, I think. Let me give it a whirl from what I hope will be a more broadminded, natural perspective.
