My dog enjoys making mummy happy so I find training easy. I don't use treats continually but I verbally reward him.I totally agree with this.i use reward based training .if he does something wrong I use use a high pitched sound to get his attention then straight into sitting or laying down depending on the situation then reward him with either bits of cheese (if he's learning something new) or cured bits of meat.u don't want ur dog afraid of training they should enjoy it like like a game.thats how thesis train drug dogs dogs all that razz but they usually use a squeaky toy or a ball or somethin.
What went wrong with that English family who had the GSD attack the wife? Do you not think that dog needed a serious boss from day one? Maybe regular classes would have put it in its place? Idk.
I'd be surprised if you thought I was a bit cruel or over the top for hitting monty if he takes a kids ball from them or attacks another dog. This for me is a big no no.
I saw another woman quite rough with her pitbull and I thought she was strict! However it tries to fight with monty and may need to be castrated if they can't kerb it's aggression. It always has a muzzle.
So I don't know? Women with Pitbulls and other strong breeds. Don't we need to be stricter coz they are so much stronger than us? My friend has a right time with her bitch GSD coz she didn't do the training.
I can't undo the work I've already done though. Which of course enables me to take him everywhere. On the metro, in the car, to the clubs. I've got it easy now.
