Totally agree.
Protect your dog from abuse of aversive tactics.
Select your dog professionals carefully.
Educate yourself how training methods affect dogs physically & psychologically, because I guarantee - they come with a hefty price dogs pay.
Don’t believe that your dog’s behaviour can be “fixed” in 1-2 sessions, because that is a lie. Any behaviour takes time to change.
Be prepared to invest in R+ training, because that is the only effective and 🇪🇹🇭🇮🇨🇦🇱 way.
Don’t rely on shortcuts.
Trust the process, which yes, may take a while.
Don’t be afraid to ditch a professional if your dog is scared of them, or if your gut tells you.
Protect your dogs at all cost - they only have you to stand up for them.
