Ways to Confuse Your Dog






If your dog barks and you grab your dog’s snout to stop the barking, you are only creating more tension.

Your dog goes too far out of his yard. You call your dog to come back home. Your dog lowers his head as he comes back to you. When your dog comes to you, you smack him. You tell him, “You are not allowed over there!” You just told your dog it was bad to come to you.

You are walking your puppy on the sidewalk. Another adult dog comes running over to you and your puppy. Puppy gets excited and jumps up putting his front paws on the other dog as your puppy is growling. You pat your puppy on the side and tell him it is okay to try to calm him down. You just taught your puppy that acting in a dominant manner is a good thing. You are at the beginning stages of raising an aggressive dog.

You are out walking with your dog and your baby in the stroller. You let your dog walk ahead of the baby in the stroller. By doing this, you are showing and telling your dog that she is ahead of the baby in the pack order.

You pick up your small dog. Your dog is wiggling and whining to get free. You let your dog down as he wishes. You just showed your dog that he has power over you and reinforced it.
