“We should avoid approaching dogs on leash if their body language does not express relaxation. Nor when one of them is in a “lying down” position unless we are aware of his submissive nature.
It is important to facilitate the greeting protocol between balanced dogs. . First the muzzle and then the hindquarters should be sniffed. To make this possible, owners should avoid tight leashes”.
“As the dog acquires consistency in his behaviors/exercises we can withdraw the rewards (food). If we have educated/trained our dog correctly, verbal praise will be sufficient reward”.
“We cannot demand that the dog understands and executes, at the first attempt, exercises of maximum complexity. It is usual to break up the final objective into manageable micro-exercises so as not to frustrate the dog. Once our dog has assimilated and executed them properly, their concatenation will lead us to the initially desired objective”.
“Dedicate the first six months of life (connection/training) to your dog and you will be grateful for it all its/your life.”
“If you are short on time, it is essential for your dog’s emotional balance to hire an outside service to provide regular walks/playtime.”
