What Would Jeff Do? Dog Training Tip of the Day #153

I travel the world doing hands on seminars with dogs and owners, I also do daily skypes with folks around the world and over and over again, all of the owners at some point have heard the same cut/paste paragraph that at one point they may have believed and is being shared by vets, behaviorists, bloggers, dog trainers, internet warriors and anyone else that is against the concept of saying NO to a dog. It pretty much goes like this You should never say NO to your dog, you should never correct your dog for a bad behavior, you should never use any form of punishment with your dog, or..........you will destroy your dog, you will ruin the relationship with your dog, you will create a fearful, anxious, nervous and also aggressive dog. Then some wordage about science based and studies and all this other stuff, it literally is word for word the same cut/paste stuff every time. Well it is a lie, it is false, it is not true.
