I will also say that the best part about the training was the opportunity to learn a bit more about Tucker. When we went to the dog park they were able to teach me how to recognize signs of aggression in others dogs, how to handle the situation of an aggressive dog approaching me and Tucker, and also learned that Tucker isn't actually aggressive at all, but instead avoident. These were very important lessons I think. |
I also want to say (and then I will stop, I promise) that learning to read dog body language is really, really helpful with problem behavior. For people who are tired of debating about training philosophies, this will give you a whole new perspective on your dog, and it's not controversial.
