Take some time to add that up in a day and stop to think just how clear
No ( do not bark)
No (do not touch that)
No (stop beating on your sibling)
No ( get off the couch)
No (running out the door)
No ( peeing in the house)...........

No losses a lot of it ability when it only No.. Poor dogs left to wonder what that No means this time. They do really well most times but it be easier on them if things got clearfied. Yes???

Why not off ,leave it, down, quiet,
No is just a word that unlike we humans can translate from No to what ever fast... remember dogs language is not ours.

I had to educate the gang here when we moved to stop Noing the creatures.

NO what ???? finally I hearing out, back, sit, stay, off, not a NO!!!!!
I had to make sure that I did not catch the Nos from them. That was tough I just about cracked.

I have critters that are functioning on a whole other level again and are listening and doing as ask cause it an action word given not a NO stop word.
Just a thought.. yes a differnt way to look at it.
No it does not make what you do wrong it is a differnt train of thought to look at.

That's an excellent all-around reminder.
