Controlling VS Changing Behaviour ✨

Controlling VS Changing Behaviour ✨ When it comes to dog training, many dog owners aim to control undesirable behaviours. However, there is an important distinction between controlling a dog’s behaviour and changing it. Controlling your dog’s behaviour over changing it has some limitations such as it doesn’t teach the dog a better way, Relies on constant intervention and may result in frustration for the dog. Example: Using a no pull harness to stop your dog pulling. Changing behaviour goes deeper than simply controlling actions in the moment. It focuses on modifying the dog’s overall mindset and creating long term improvements. The only limitation here is your time, patience and consistency. Example: Training your dog to walk nicely on a loose lead instead of pulling. While controlling your dog’s behaviour can be helpful in certain situations, the true goal of training is to change your dog’s behaviour in a way that leads to lasting improvement.
