Interpreting Your Dog's Reactions
● Observing Interactions: Pay attention to how your dog reacts to different people, animals, and situations. This will give you insight into their comfort levels and triggers. ● Responding Appropriately: Use the appropriate level of correction or praise to guide your dog's behavior. For example, a firm, deep "ahhhhhhh" sound for correction and a high- pitched "good boy/girl" for praise. We will learn a lot more about the proper sounds you should use in the upcoming chapters.
Building Trust and Understanding
● Consistency: Dogs thrive on consistent routines and clear expectations. Ensure you are consistent with commands, rewards, and corrections. ● Patience: Building a strong relationship with your dog takes time and patience. Be attentive to their needs and responses to create a bond based on trust and respect.
