My reminder to you…help your pet to succeed by looking for those teachable moments to tell him/her GOOD!. If your pet is not behaving in a way that you like, it is not because he is trying to be bad or obstinate, he/she simply has a skill deficit. Teach him what he needs to know in a positive way and watch how eager he is to practice what he has learned.
Every waking moment of every day and every interaction your dog has with you and the environment is teaching your dog what works, what matters, and what associations to have.
Teaching happens whether we intend it or not. Our interactions cause others to learn positive AND negative associations with situations, and with us.
