Everyone is happy to talk to you all about the latest and greatest fancy training protocol and technique, but very, very few are willing to honestly discuss the necessity and value of sharing appropriate punishment.

A good question to ask yourself would be: why? Why is such a critical component of creating a healthy relationship dynamic so rarely discussed? Especially when the absence of this dynamic is almost always at the core of owner’s struggles? It’s almost as if it’s too uncomfortable to be broached. So instead trainers keep feeding you pleasant, sweet, good-feeling approaches so you’ll feel good, even as you struggle. As long as the trainer looks/sounds good in their presentation their behinds are covered—and yours is anything but.

Find trainers willing to have difficult, uncomfortable discussions with you. They aren’t doing it because it makes them popular—it doesn’t—they’re doing it because it’s what you need, and next to no one else will discuss it.

P.S. And if you find that you’re still not emotionally prepared to pusnish unwanted behavior, you might want to rethink owning a dog. Because a dog without discipline, firm rules, and punishment,is a dog who’s lost, and struggling.
