Greetings
"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".
Empty times
A considerable number of bad behaviors have their origin in what I call "empty times".
Removal of primary reinforcement
"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".
Behavioral retraining
We cannot pretend, if we want to progress in the objective, to act on certain behaviors or exercises in isolation.
Ethics and morals: Common sense
There wouldn´t be so many regulations if all citizens had thought capacities based on solid ethical principles and put them into practice (morality).
Motivations
Knowing the main motivations of our puppy is an essential aspect to achieve a good connection with him.
Piano Piano…si arriva lontano
"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".
Disobedience = Lack of connection
Sometimes, at the umpteenth command, the dog seems to obey but only seems it.
Connect training
"Dedicate the first six months of life (connection/training) to your dog and you will be grateful for it all its/your life."
Satisfying habits and flexibility
In today's society it is impossible to live without a minimum of organization if we do not want to be immersed in disorder and chaos.
