Training: Common Mistake 2

Here's part 2 of the email I was telling you about a few days ago.....

MISTAKE #2

Not giving attention to the your dog's emotions.

For example:

After around 15 minutes of training, you notice your dog is yawning too much or simply refuses to look at you. You continue training him but he does not respond.

The result:

You get frustrated and irritated - and remember, that affects him too.

It's easy to blame our dogs when they don't do what we want... and even easier to allow our emotions to get in the way. However, dogs are extremely perceptive, and its important to remember that, especially during training exercises.
