Dog training social media gurus all have an opinion. Many of them don’t train dogs for a living, they prefer to pontificate from behind a keyboard or in front of a video camera to sell their seminars.
I find all the dog discussions about this and that dog training theory to be endlessly fascinating… when I’m off work.
But.
There are things that just work, they always work in certain circumstances, the dogs benefit, and I don’t always have time to explain why. Sometimes a good dog trainer must take all they know and make a reasoned choice in a split second. Or they know what the next step should be by gut feel and experience.
When you have tried out numerous things, tested this and that, you eventually distill those methods and tools that work best. Regardless of what the online trolls say.
A lot of what others say is their theory, not something they ever actually did with a lot of dogs to see what happens.
Sometimes you must get things done.
Plan accordingly.
