How Not to Train a Dog: Mistakes That Will Come Back Like a Boomerang
Cynologists say that the best way to raise an obedient dog is to be friends with it and be predictable.
Rudeness and physical measures of influence can only harm. Mistakes will remind of themselves, if not immediately, then in the foreseeable future.
Aggressive training methods do not work. If the owner constantly intimidates and tries to dominate the dog, he will end up with a frightened, aggressive and disobedient pet, - the head of the Russian Cynological Federation Vladimir Golubev told Izvestia in an interview.
When choosing methods of raising and training a dog, the expert advises taking into account the character, needs and characteristics of the breed.
Dominance, aggressive approach and simply trying to force the dog to do what the owner wants are not effective.
The dog must be guided by the owner’s signals, understand whether he approves of its actions, whether the pet is doing the right thing.
Therefore, the dog needs to be praised “for any little thing, even if it has completed half of the exercise.”
Feedback will lead to the pet wanting to do things that will elicit the owner's approval.
