The traditional concept of "dog training" is becoming outdated. You didn’t get a dog to follow robotic commands—you wanted a companion. However, modern dog ownership comes with its challenges. While seeking a trainer may seem like the standard approach, you're likely not aiming for perfect "obedience" or rigid commands. What you really want are practical, effective solutions that avoid wasting time and money on superficial techniques or harsh methods.
What’s needed are science-based answers that address the root of your dog’s behavior. Relying solely on training to resolve behavioral issues is like adding frosting to an undercooked cake, it's not going to holdup.
It’s far more effective to work with behavior experts who can identify and address the underlying causes.
