Training Fearful Dogs

I'm amazed at the number of people, trainers included, that think you can force a dog that is afraid to not be afraid. 

It doesn't work that way. 

When you are so focused on the RESULT that you aren't paying attention to the dog in the PROCESS of training, you will almost always cause setbacks. No dog is on your timeline.

Plan accordingly.
