I can't emphasize this enough. Also over the past few months there has been a proliferation of trainers locally who also use methods that are not good for your dogs physical or mental health. Please make sure when you speak to a trainer you ask all the questions regarding what type of training they use.

There are several common misconceptions about dog training that can hinder the process and lead to frustration for both dog and owner. Here are a few of the most prevalent ones:

Myth 1: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Reality: This saying is completely false! Dogs of all ages are capable of learning new behaviors. While it may take longer for an older dog to unlearn bad habits and learn new ones, they are still just as capable as younger dogs.

Myth 2: Dominance-based training is the most effective method.

Reality: Dominance-based training methods, which involve using physical force or intimidation to control dogs, have been debunked by modern dog trainers and behaviorists. These methods can be harmful and stressful for dogs, and they are not effective in the long run.

Myth 3: Using treats to train makes dogs reliant on food.

Reality: When done correctly, positive reinforcement training, which uses rewards like treats, praise, and play to encourage good behavior, does not create food dependence. As the dog progresses, the frequency of treats can be gradually reduced while introducing other forms of rewards.

Myth 4: Punishment is necessary for correcting bad behavior.

Reality: While punishment may seem like a quick fix, it can actually be counterproductive. Punishment can damage the bond between you and your dog, and it often doesn't teach them the desired behavior. Positive reinforcement, on the other hand, is a more effective and humane way to train dogs.

Myth 5: My dog listens to me at home, so training is unnecessary.

Reality: Dogs don't generalize well, meaning that behaviors learned in one environment might not carry over to others. Training in different settings with distractions helps ensure your dog listens to you consistently, not just at home.

Understanding and addressing these misconceptions can set you and your furry friend on the right track for a successful and rewarding training journey.

CHOOSING A DOG TRAINER
In an unregulated industry, it is sometimes difficult to determine a ‘good trainer’ from a ‘bad trainer’.

Anyone can become a ‘professional dog trainer’, with no experience necessary, never having trained or even owning a dog.

Surreal right! But unfortunately it happens.

And the fallout is normally at the cost to the dog.

Some red flags to look out for are:

No proven experience, or success in their chosen area of expertise. When seeking out a trainer, don’t be afraid to ask about their experience, and do some research on them before attending a session. Don’t just go for one that is local and convenient if it doesn’t feel right.

Using aversive tools. Consider the choices and path you want to take with your dog, and ask if the equipment advised to be used, is something you’re comfortable with. If it doesn’t look, feel and sound right, it probably isn’t right.

Guarantees certain results in a specific time frame. Dogs and owners are individuals, and work at a pace specific to their individual ability. So giving a specific time frame is often unrealistic.

Advertises instant results. Dog training and behaviour modification, isn’t about overnight fixes and instant results. Whilst you can make a great impact in a short space of time, to have long term results, takes time, patience and commitment.

Talks about Alpha leaders and being a ‘pack leader’ in order to train a dog. Dogs don’t need us to ‘dominate’ them, or be an ‘alpha’, they need understanding, compassion and education. Start there and build a relationship, not a dictatorship.
