One Size Fits All?

A training approach for one dog may be entirely inappropriate for another. Female dogs tend to be more passive or reserved because they are the caretakers in the canine world and therefore more likely to respond negatively to harsh tones, questionable training devices or heavy-handed training methods. Male dogs, who typically don't mate for life, nor care for their brood, may have difficulty discerning what a pleasant and soft-spoken female owner is trying to say.

Like you, dogs are individuals and have their own unique temperaments, personalities, physical and mental abilities. When you enroll your dog into a canine training obedience class you rightfully have certain expectations, objectives and concerns regarding how that's to be accomplished, but men and women think differently and therefore will seldom agree. One-on-one training is perhaps the only sensible approach to take when selecting a training method for you and your canine companion..

Be pet smart...train your dog in the real world, not in a building.  Support dog trainers who conduct a one-on-one training curriculum. Perhaps together we might cease the practice of training dogs in groups or the-one-size-fits-all approach (which is insulting to the consumer). Support the private class training method and learn how to create a unique and positive human-canine bond that meets your unique needs and will last a life-time.
