No Means No – Does Your Dog Know That?
Posted on Apr 22, 2008 under Training, Uncategorized | No Comment
Shortly after bringing home a new dog, I often hear clients say that they tell their dog “no” and it doesn’t listen. I think this is more of a communication barrier than a lack of intelligence on the part of the dog.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if by raising our voice we could say anything to anyone whether they speak our language or not and they would instantly understand?! So, when you feel the need to yell “NO!” Ask yourself if the dog really knows what you’re expecting.
Once they do get it, try following the correction with something that is positive for the pup. None of us like to be yelled at all the time!
