To train or to educate: what approach to use with a pet – it is important to feel the boundaries
Some pet owners fail to understand the difference between training and raising a puppy.
It is important to understand that these processes have different goals: training is needed to teach the execution of commands, and education corrects behavior.
During the training process, the dog mechanically learns commands or certain actions that are associated with the spoken word.
When a dog is well trained, it is able to carry out a command.
Is it possible to train without education?
You can teach a dog a large number of commands, but the pet may still be ill-mannered.
Behavioral skills are indeed formed in the process of education, and this process must necessarily complement training.
It is important to understand that a dog should not be too far removed from nature – after all, it is an animal with a set of instincts.
The goal of education is to develop a respectful attitude towards the owner and people around him. The dog learns not to bark, not to pull on the leash and not to snap at other dogs.
