Deep dives
The Importance of Owner's Role in Dog Training
Training dogs involves significant owner participation, with behaviors such as aggression, reactivity, separation anxiety, and fearfulness requiring consistent management rather than quick fixes. Owners may struggle to adapt to the necessary changes, like letting go of previous habits to accommodate the dog's needs.
Beginnings of Dog Training Process
Dog training starts with building a proper relationship, establishing boundaries, and providing structure to enhance the dog's comfort and trust. Utilizing leashes, focusing on basic commands, and creating engagement play pivotal roles in initiating the training process.
Balanced Training Methods and E-Collars Usage
Balanced trainers like Keely integrate positive and negative reinforcement techniques to train dogs effectively. Keely uses e-collars to communicate with dogs in unpredictable environments, ensuring safety and control when off-leash.
