Top 5 Common Mistakes People Make in Dog Training

Dog training can be a rewarding journey, but many well-meaning owners fall into some common traps. Here’s a breakdown of the five most frequent mistakes and how to avoid them to build a stronger bond with your dog:

1. Over-Reliance on Treats

Treat-based training can create a transactional relationship between you and your dog. Instead of fostering trust and respect, your dog may learn to behave only when a treat is involved. This approach often fails in high-stress situations where distractions are more compelling than food. Shift your focus to clear communication, leadership, and consistency.

2. Lack of Follow-Through

Dogs thrive on consistency. If you give a command but don’t enforce it, your dog will quickly learn that they can ignore you without consequence. For example, asking your dog to "sit" but allowing them to wander off when they don’t comply sends the wrong message.

3. Punishment After the Fact

Dogs live in the moment. Punishing them for something they did even minutes ago only confuses them—they won’t connect your reaction to their past action. Effective training means addressing behaviors as they happen or redirecting them before they escalate.

4. Avoiding the Word "No"

Some modern training methods discourage saying “no,” claiming it’s harmful to a dog’s psyche. But dogs, like children, need boundaries to feel secure. A clear and firm “no” communicates unacceptable behavior, especially when paired with guidance on what to do instead.

5. Listening to the Wrong Advice

Conflicting information can leave dog owners frustrated. Many are told that discipline and corrections will harm their dog, leading to fear or aggression. In reality, balanced training—combining positive reinforcement with calm, fair corrections—often produces the most reliable results. Be discerning about the advice you follow.

Obedience is not about performance predicated by treats. It is conditioning based on reinforcement of the nature of the relationship between you and your dogs.

The difference between a treat based and a leadership based framework could be the reason your dog doesn't listen to you when you are without a treat.

Lorenzo is a lovely cute little guy who has bitten everyone in the house. Every time anyone comes near the person he is with, he bites. Hard.

So it has been hard. Everyone has been tip toeing around Lorenzo like he is a terrorist and tyrant.

His family now has the tools to help Lorenzo understand that violence is not the answer.

My morning crew. What do you think?

Poor Coco was very reactive. She would launch at people and dogs in public. We were able to help her navigate the stressful triggers and in one session, were able to get her to be much more relaxed around people and other dogs.

Beu would lunge at Ace when he got close to him. He would bite and become quite aggressive. Meanwhile, poor Ace would cower and run away. Within a relatively short period of time, we were able to get both dogs to be in close proximity to each other. With on going training, I am confident that they will be able to live together as a family. No use of force, threats or violence was necessary.

Stop Making Excuses for Your Dog

I have many years of experience in dog training. My passion is to help families integrate their dog into their life HARMONIOUSLY. Often people say things like, “he’s a great dog 90% of the time, except when he....” Where they start making excuses for their dogs. These excuses, if go untreated can potentially lead to unwanted and dangerous situations in which ultimately, the dog is rehomed or “put into the system”. My mission is to keep families together. Unlike other training methods, I teach personal development, leadership and communication techniques to the owners to ultimately empower them to be better parents and have more enriched lives. You will be more self confident, be more aware of your personal body language and be a much more effective communicator in your work as well as home space.

I have a Masters of Business Administration degree and over 20 yrs of marketing experience in Internet Marketing. I have launched one of the largest ecommerce companies in the world that was acquired by a publicly traded company. I also manage a team of developers and work with a number of multi-national clients, so I know a bit about leadership and communication. My methodology is simple. I use psychology to help you motivate the dog into doing the desired behaviour and empower you to become more effective leaders. So if you are tired of those unwanted behaviours and are sick of going to endless “obedience schools”, and want to help your dog be the best it can be, then give me a call. Let’s stop making excuses for our dogs.
