Cynologists often say that a dog owner must achieve complete mutual understanding with their pet.

This means that a person's actions should be predictable and understandable for a dog. This is how you should behave in everyday communication and during training, but during training many make one mistake.

When you train a dog, it is important to understand that the whip method does not work. Intimidating, insisting and constantly trying to dominate the dog is the path to a disobedient and aggressive pet, - Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation, told Radio 1 in an interview.

The dog trainer notes that any attempts to gain the upper hand over the dog during training will not produce results.

This can frighten the dog, making it aggressive and disobedient.

In addition, the pet must understand what is required of it.

There must also be limits to what is permissible and load standards must be observed.

It is essential to encourage your pet. Praise makes the dog repeat certain actions over and over again.
