In dog training – what does the owner do if he cannot get the right tone of voice? Most owners who are into dog training (for the first time) find this a big problem.
It is a physical impossibility for most of these owners to have a wide range of tone. If they try to get the right tone, it often ends up as a squeak (no kidding), and this makes training doubly difficult for those people.
All they can do is to train their dogs by voice and signal, and eventually work almost entirely on signal.
The tone of voice coupled with sending out the right telepathic thought is most important. You would be surprised how dogs pick up thought before you ever said a word.
It is useless giving commands without willing them to obey with your mind as well.
Handling difficult dogs should not be considered a major problem by owners. Training these types of dogs (biters, pullers, fighters pose a mighty challenge for us. Strenuous work as they appear to be, dog training IS the name of the game.
Beware of dogs that behave damn well without his owner, BUT would attack like a rocket to people if they went too near his master.
This kind of guarding instinct is dangerous, and no amount of training will stop it unless the owner really wants to.
On the other hand, I find that most women, to begin with – think that training dogs by jerking them is harsh, thus finding it difficult to jerk their dogs, or pull them to the down position. Unless they can master this over-sentimental feeling, they will fail.
If you learn the correct way of doing these things, it is akin to ju-jitsu and in no way hurts or upsets the dog. The slow way, on the other hand, annoys the dog, and often leads to bites.
The best dog handler is the quick-minded type of person who wants to learn it all in a day; and to those who say you must walk before you run in dog training, I always say it is completely nonsense.
If you can keep up with your dog’s brain, there is no need to worry. I have no hesitation in saying it is inevitably the owner who is much slower to learn than the dog; and they admit it.
