My friendly reminder…our pets do not come pre-learned with all of our rules. And they do not speak human language. They rely on us to teach them. The clearer our lesson plan, and the more fun and valuable we can make the outcome of their doing the behaviors we want to see, the more they will want to learn those behaviors from us.
I’m sharing this story of a family’s hope with dog aggression, as I am so extremely proud of the progress we are making, and to educate and offer hope to other families. In complex dog behavior cases like this, it is important to look at the impact of many variables – genetics, physiology, environment, learning history among them.
As people, we can have a tendency to refer to our pets as either GOOD or BAD, but the truth is,
our pets really don’t see things the same. GOOD or BAD are really just examples of labeling your dog or parrot (or other type of pet). Let’s explore this topic further.
