Dog
I see people on a daily basis saying no to their dog. And yelling it at him. They say NO! and they get angry because the dog doesn't understand it. To me it is something that personally draws my attention, since on the other hand I do not see anyone saying YES! with the same emphasis. It seems very curious to me, at least.
Having a dog means having the responsibility of having to take care of it and guide it, and that requires having to educate it. That is clear to all of us. What is not so clear to everyone is that anyone, without training, can properly train a dog. In my post today, I talk to you about that precisely: Does my dog understand what the words Yes and No mean? Come and read ...
First of all, I recommend reading previous posts, in order to better understand the message I want to send you in this one we are in. Those entries would be for example, Educating on an emotional level: The Stress that humans cause o Educating on an emotional level: The Stress that humans cause II.
First of all, It is necessary to understand that the concept and the meaning of the words YES and NO, is totally human. A dog, from birth, it is practically impossible for him to understand them, if he is not educated for it, and I am sorry to say that because he shouts it louder, he does not have to understand it. It is that easy and simple.
There are people who tell me: Well, I yell at him NO! strong and I pull him by the leash and stop doing it. And I say to those people: You don't have a problem with the dog, YOU are your dog's problem. So clear.
If you were in Russia, and a Russian came and said to you: Привет доброе утро, я получаю время ?, and got angry if you didn't understand, ask yourselves how you would feel.
Well, something very similar happens to the dog when his friend, his human guide, jerks his leash and yells at him, not knowing what he is for. That is not setting a limit or anything like that. That is not knowing what is being done, period.
If you want to teach him the meaning of the word YES and the word NO, go to a professional in your area, either Educator or Trainer, to teach the Obedience tool to your friend (always positive, please), and that within that tool include it.
Greetings and take care of your pets.
