Do you talk to your dog?
It’s not bad all on its own. But too much can be a problem. Given that I am working with behavior cases, this information is specifically for dogs that need some support, and humans looking for guidance and input. At the same time, if you are merely curious, like a challenge, or want to learn something new, this is for you, too. All trainers are ever trying to do, if they know their stuff, is to provide greater understanding and connection between human and dog. The more tools in your tool belt, the better you can be for your dog. The more that dog and human understand each other, the easier it is to problem solve. The more intuitive and clear things become. Dogs are dogs, and the greatest respect you can give them is to treat them like what they are. They can only think like dogs, but us, we have a far broader and more expansive way to think and perceive, but only if you choose to.
