Zabawnymi scenami jak wydobywaną jędrnych która ledwo odbijają się możliwość me and knows I would never hurt him, and when I ask him to do something, even if it's something he hates he do it because I asked him to. He obeys on first command about 90% of the time, and he learns new commands within 5 mins of training He is a to have. I think of him as furry toddler. Basically, dogs are like neotenous wolves wolves that have never fully grown up. They stay like adolescents they're still dependent on their parents We can be gentle parents or draconian parents its our choice. When they misbehave they aren't trying to dominate they are just testing their limits like toddlers do. Being firm and consistent is best, you needent be violent or aggressive with them. Training isn't about intimidation, or teaching who is boss its about reprogramming the mind to make the dog behave a certain way. Hi guys, let me start by saying; I both sides of the argument and also I'm 35 years old and the last of the being spanked generation parents me and we get along great. I look back as adult now and realize I deserved it for the things I did or said and am better now because of it. I'm not scarred for life and fact am honest, college educated with a psychology and law enforcement degree, tax paying contributing member of society with a steady job and have a loving wife and kid. I the sense of entitlement the generations that preceded mine and it makes me sick. They expect to graduate college and get 6 figure jobs out the gate for doing nothing. That's lead up to this forum. I'm not talking about a specific dog here or breed of dog. I have trained family pets whole life. I was born to a dog family. We have owned a black lab, golden retriever, maltice, losa opsa, shepherd and most recently a Siberian husky. All were adopted and only the lab and retriever were puppies. Training is a curve of opinions. I'm not on the extreme left or right of the issue but all the dogs family turned out to be happy, healthy and obedient members of the family. Some correction is needed and lots of positive reinforcement is needed. And yes I believe being the to the dogs a non-threatening way. They all respected that and didn't fear me they just had a sense of structure and knew what was acceptable the household and what wasn't. I made our dogs walk and out of the house after me I filled the food bowl, let them watch and pretended to eat some before I gave it to them and firmly made them get off the couch. When they were tugging on the leash for walks at the beginning I would stop, turn around and start walking a different way. Again they got the hint and started watching me and where I was going instead of pulling. That's just a few instances. When they go the house, take them somewhere they 't you cleaning it and praise them for going outside when you take them out to go. It's just like someone here said; it's like raising a kid right and sometimes they need a spanking or time out to correct their behavior. That whole thing about talking French that someone said is a crock too. Kids just like dogs aren't born knowing English. They learn what things mean from visual cues and mannerisms. Sit. Put the dog a sit position repeatedly. Paw. Take their paw repeatedly. It's context. If you teach well they are smart enough to learn.
