As a dog trainer <\/a>who travels the country training dogs and working with 20-30 families a week in their homes it is so important for folks to understand how a dog thinks. And when there is no authority figure present, the kind of chaos and bad behavior that can happen. Remember the bad behavior of your dog is not the problem it is just the outcome of a breakdown of leadership in your home.<\/em>
\nMy friend, co-host of the Train The Trainers<\/a> Seminar Series, and LA dog training<\/a> colleague Sean O\u2019Shea from The Good Dog Training and Rehabilitation puts out such a great blog that I feature it here on my blog. Since the message is so powerful and important it needs to be shared by all. Enjoy the read and feel free to also join his Facebook Fan Page<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Drug That Is You<\/h1>\n

By Sean O’Shea<\/h1>\n

When you lavish your dog with constant attention, praise, and affection, and you not only allow your dog to be constantly near you, but you reward and reinforce it, you\u2019re very likely creating separation anxiety issues.<\/p>\n

Our dogs can often become like drug addicts. They get used to an intensity and consistency of emotional interaction and physical closeness, and then when you\u2019re not present they go through withdrawals of physical and emotions pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n

Our dogs don\u2019t know what\u2019s being created, they just react to what feels good in the moment. In the same way they will eat ten pounds of food and need a vet visit, they will also take on all of the petting, the holding, the treating, the needing, the following, the longing and loving glances from you \u2013 simply because it feels good in the moment \u2013 and they will put themselves in harm\u2019s way simply because they don\u2019t know any better.<\/p>\n

Because our dogs are unable to understand the gravity of what\u2019s happening, the responsibility for striking that balance and creating a healthy environment and relationship falls on you. Your job is to do what\u2019s right for your dog, even if that sometimes means denying yourself what feels good for you in the moment.<\/p>\n

Just as you advocate and ensure that your dog doesn\u2019t run into the street, doesn\u2019t play with dogs that are dangerous or unbalanced, doesn\u2019t eat toxic plants or food, doesn\u2019t become dehydrated from lack of water, and doesn\u2019t sit in a car that is too hot and dangerous on a sunny day, you also need to ensure and advocate for him that he doesn\u2019t become emotionally and physically unhealthy due to too much love, too much affection, and too much of you.<\/p>\n

What feels good and rewarding to you just might be hurting your dog.<\/p>\n
