From ridiculous pulling and zero attention, to calmly walking and awareness of the owner —all within minutes from the proper use and application of the prong collar —where just the right amount of pressure was used to communicate clearly and effectively without over correcting and causing unnecessary stress on the dog. A dog like Toby needs boundaries more than anything else. In this session, we only focused on leash handling, no food was used. Two main reasons why. 1. He wasn’t that interested in food. 2. The owner needed to be taught how to physically handle the dog, not lure and reward the dog. While I love using food in training, ultimately teaching people how to physically control, guide and manage their dog on a leash is more important and beneficial to them and their dogs in the long run. We can always (and will) add the food rewards later to reinforce and encourage more wanted behavior. #dogbehavior #dogpsychology #dogbehaviour #dogobedience #balanceddogtrainer #looseleash #dogwalking #dogtrainer
