Respect comes from a relationship focused approach, time and deposits built up. Desired outcomes reinforced over time. Respect comes from trust and admiration, it can’t be forced, it can’t just come, it needs to be built.
Fear is just fear, a non thinking response. It can’t build skills, it can only shut down the thinking brain and trigger escape, fight or freeze.
Fear is easy, but to have your dog respond, admire and want to please. You built that, you worked for that, you should be proud of that.
