Being an effective leader and building trust in your dog requires a skill set grounded in effective communication, temperament, and focus.

What to do:

  1. Make sure your communication is crystal clear. Trim the fat. Tell the dog what you want and reward them for doing it.
  2. Set your dog up for success. Make it impossible for them to fail and let them have fun in the process.
  3. Stay focused on “teaching” the dog what you want them to learn.

What not to do:

  • DO NOT talk to them so much, especially with repeated commands, where they check out
  • DO NOT yell at your dog.
  • DO NOT show frustration and lack of leadership skills.
  • DO NOT use physical force with your dog.
  • DO NOT over-correct your dog. The focus should not be on stopping a behavior, but teaching an alternative behavior.
