Your dog isn't stubborn, stupid, disobedient, etc. They are more than likely confused about what you're asking them to do.

Trying to condense complex behaviour practices into 90 sec vids has lead to unrealistic expectations for dog owners/guardians.

Excitement around dogs.

When learning anything, we take steps towards proficiency - driving, learning the violin, knitting, mechanics etc. Now add an emotional element on top of that - excitment, nervousness etc.

Our dogs ate the same. Emotional regulation can be taught but we need to ve patient with them. We work on the physical behaviours within that framework.

Conduct on this page.

Inevitably, because this is the Internet and social media, my posts occasionally invite comments from the knuckle dragging section of society. The last couple of weeks have been ripe for it.

I shared a video of two young women behaving in a grossly irresponsible manner in relation to their dog and other people's dogs. Some of the comments were deplorable, and I use that word deliberately. Their gender, race/ethnicity, nationality, accent, etc was irrelevant to the point i was making.

Misogyny, racism, misandry, sexism, and bigotry have no place on my page. And make no mistake about that, please, this is MY page. You, the people who make this an awesome interactive community for like minded dog people are welcome here, but ultimately I have absolute control over who I allow to comment and what they comment.

You may observe that sometimes I write, "thanks for engaging, no need to reply." I'm bring dialogue with that person to an end. I delete comments made after that. People who start continue to comment, and then start insulting me get blocked 🚫.

Politics and our world view permeate every interaction we have, including the ones with our dogs. I don't overtly make political statements on here (I've done it twice in 16 years running this page) but I do run this account and my business according to my world view.

Racist remarks are almost always from white people. If I answer them, it's not to change the mind of that person, it's to stand in solidarity with those who are on the receiving end of that abuse.

It's often very thinly veiled that you can see right through it.

Lastly, sexist, misogynistic and misandristic remarks don't always come from the other gender. Many of the sexist remarks against women come from other women. We all need to check our prejudices (or maybe some of us think we don't). For me, it's unacceptable, whoever is saying it.

A not so gently reminder for everyone, back to dog training on my next post.

Much love to you all.

A really common mistake in dog training.

Cues, not commands in interactions with your dog. There is a difference.

"Life is aversive, so we can use aversives on dogs"

Only if you have little understanding of how behaviour works and poor ethics.
