Problems & Conundrums:
Changing Your Dog's Behavior
We can all agree there is
nothing quite like the unconditional love of a dog. While many of us choose
different breeds for different reasons, we can all agree it’s the companionship
of a dog that we enjoy most.
But when their behavior does not fit in to our
“vision” of a perfect pet, problems start. Your role in your dog’s life should
be one of leadership, similar to parenting. The popular idea that you must
“dominate” or be “top dog” has led to many misconceptions. The popular phrase
used in mainstream dog training is “you must always win”. If this is the
approach we take in training our dog we go into the process as if it were a
competition and in a competition someone always loses.
Instead, understand the
role of your pet in your life and household. If your goal is for him to be a
part of your family, then leadership and teaching him “manners” is a more
correct way of thinking. Blue Prints’ goal is to help you and your canine
companion live a healthy, happy life together through positive means of
communication your dog can understand.
