Dogs And Emotional Hijacking

Dogs have emotions. So do you. 

When a dog gets upset, or excited, or rude... our interpretation of what is going on can hijack our emotions and cause us to overreact. 

You have a choice in the matter. Humans can control their emotions and responses in ways that dogs can never do. You don't have to let the tachometer go into the red zone. Taking all that out on your dog isn't dog training, and is probably going to result in abuse. Flipping out in a rage or panic isn't dog training. 

Make a note of what is happening, and then afterwards come up with a plan to help your dog the next time. 

Plan accordingly.
