why everyone is choosing the wrong method

So reasons why everyone has a dog...

they are wonderful animals, and as people we love them to every extent, but with every dog there is a problem, like puppy issues, like they are not showing proper behavior as you thought..

the truth is when you adopt a dog your inheriting a problem they had, something that there previous owner as done wrong, or they were dumbed in the streets cause they could handle them, and the dog had to fend for themselves...

So what do you do, get someone who is a professional, but this is a problem. not all dogs need a trainer, some dogs need real help....

Here is a difference between trainers and behaviorist.....
Trainers focus on one method, and using too many treats that works for basic obedience, and puppy training, agility training, nothing more.....

Behaviorist work on more intense problems.. real red zone cases...

people wonder why there dog is not helped, why they are spending so much money on something that is not working, and a lot of it is cause as trainers and or behaviorist, we can only guild you on to how your dog needs to walk, needs to interact etc...
it's really up to the owner to keep up and do the homework,...

now how do you know what you need....
really it's not all black and white and or colors,

puppies need classes, socialization this is when you need a trainer
if your dog is lunging at other dogs, you need a behaviorist to understand why and work with you to work the dog off the problem...

now those were examples.

As a Behaviorist and working with people and dogs for about 10 yrs, I do understand and really know why people use everything the trainer sez, cause they are so sure about what they do.. but everyone can be sure what they do, but they have to know what they are doing, not just anyone can help you, you have to know who can help you.....

Well this is my blog and more and more will come as time goes
