Take the initiative to tell it what you want it to do

Dog training, despite its current popularity, is actually putting the cart before the horse. The main reason why owners train their dogs has become to prevent them from doing what they were born to do. They want dogs not to bite with their teeth, not to run, not to urinate everywhere, not to jump, dig holes, or even bark. It's almost like putting a dog in a condom. All we have to do is create a good environment for dogs within the scope of our lifestyle, so that they can be themselves without any worries.

Why are dogs willing to do certain things? The reason is simple, because doing these things will bring them benefits and it is also what they like the most. Rewards like praise, food, or freedom are rewards for doing something right. Avoiding danger is, of course, also a reward. For example, if the dog obediently "sits", the owner will no longer hit it or drag it, so dogs also need to learn to anticipate consequences.

Active training is not about passively preventing your dog from doing something, but actively telling it what you want it to do. We keep repeating this over and over in this book. If we ourselves can’t figure out what we want our dogs to do, then our dogs must be even more confused. “How do I get my dog ​​to stop jumping around?” That’s not the question at all. The real question is: “What do you want your dog to do?” Someone might answer: “I want my dog ​​to stop jumping around.” The dog is obedient. As long as someone comes to visit, it will lie down obediently." Look, "lie down" can successfully replace "jump". You know, it certainly can't lie down and jump at the same time.

I firmly believe that by the next century, dog training will move toward more loving and positive methods, and people will use less violence to reshape dog behavior. But there is a key point, you must learn to control your own anxiety and willpower, so that the training method can be implemented more concrete, effective and scientific. If so, you can definitely get what you want. Specifically, these actions are accumulated step by step. The less you react, the stronger your leadership skills are. The dog's world is rooted in this step-by-step action. This book tells you exactly what to do. Friends, once you make up your mind, you must: read the instructions and follow the instructions on the label.
