Every dog trainer has his own baggage of knowledge. If you contact everyone, then the seeker will be faced with a large number of opinions, beliefs, arguments. Let's take a look at the most common misconceptions that the Internet has given us.
Myth:
Reward tactics only work with small / lucky / mongrels, not adults / stubborn / stubborn.
Reality:
Note to owners: professional trainers can use the reward method to successfully train lions, tigers, dolphins and other exotic animals. After all, there is no concept of "stubborn tiger". It's the same with dogs. It is difficult to discern their nature, but the carrot tactic works much more effectively than the stick method.
Myth:
Pets obey their owners because they want to please them
Reality:
Dogs, in a purely zoological sense, do only what is beneficial for them in principle. It is beneficial for them to obey their masters, to be loyal. Today's people are endlessly lucky, because they got into submission such loyal and selfless four-legged friends.
Animals don't try to please their owners. They make them happy because of their basic needs (housing, food).
Myth:
The dog defecates at home, expressing his dissatisfaction with the owner.
Reality:
Let's turn to common sense. Why does a pet pee at home:
• He is stressed (moving, tensions at home)
• He has not learned the rules of conduct
• Physical ailment
• The owner leaves his dog alone for a long time. She is unable to contain herself
