Your dog listens to your voice inflection for everything, right? He knows when you are mad, you're using not just a loud voice but a 'low toned' voice too?..
So, to use a correct tone, he needs to know when you are really happy with him. Not just a ..'oh,good dog' and that's all...You need to USE your voice in a high happy tone..over and over...like,
"WOW! GOOD DOG, LICK. GOOD BOY! YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD DOG!!" and in a high toned manner. This way he will learn to associate your 'good' voice with his good behavior. and a treat too.
Good for you Chris for realizing you need to change things, and for coming here to YT...welcome. I hope everyone here has helped you. |
I agree and it does sound silly but this is where your little girl voice should come out in praise...high and babyish ...they need to know that you are happy
