There is lots of bad advice coming from trainers, whether by book, video, class and the internet. There is a website out there that advertises that they are miracle workers and they can train your dog etc…. <\/p>\n

They suggest you use it to correct your dog and they way they suggest using can cause PERMANENT neck and spine injuries. This not only is wrong on a training level but also is dangerous for the safety of your dog.<\/p>\n 2) When you correct a dog for trying to BITE someone and then they go back into a sit…you never praise them or you are praising the dog for trying to bite….idiots….<\/p>\n I say this because alot of trainers do not understand basic canine behavior and they are not only not correcting aggressive behavior but they are endagering the lives of dogs and the general public.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is lots of bad advice coming from trainers, whether by book, video, class and the internet.

\nthing about 2-year old Finn was \u2013 he had quirks. And by quirks I mean
\nhe had a habit of snapping at the hands and feet of strangers.<\/p>\n
\neh? Well \u2013 Finn was a happy, healthy, super-fit Border Collie and his
\ntwo owners were happy, healthy, avid runners \u2013 it looked like a perfect
\nmatch and it should have worked out just fine. <\/p>\n
