This book will be attacked, vilified, SHUNNED!
Are you confused with your dog’s behavior? Do you feel like giving up? Confused because you don’t know how to stop your dog from jumping, barking, stealing food off the counters, biting and nipping and other behaviors? The reason you're confused is simple. There are legions of dog trainers telling dog owners they can NEVER SAY NO! This is deadly advice for your dog.
Your dog has to learn two important words: YES and NO. Dog training is a combination of YES and NO. YES for good behavior and NO for unwanted behaviors. If you never teach your dog NO, your dog is in danger. A dog that continues to jump, bark, steal, bite and pull on leash will have a good chance of going to a shelter. Shelters and rescues across the country are filled with dogs because of one main reason: Behavior problems!
The best way to END a behavior problem is by teaching and using the word NO. The sentence you just read is why this book will be attacked. If you speak out against the “Positive Only” training culture you are attacked and labeled unscientific, abusive, mean, and uneducated. But I’m willing to take the slings and arrows for you and stand up to The Church of Positive Only Training. Someone needs to set the record straight and help you with your dog.
I wrote this book to help dog owners who feel like giving up. If you ever felt like giving up it is NOT your fault. There has been a campaign for the past two decades giving dog owners incorrect information on how to stop unwanted behaviors. The Deadly Dog Training Myth will explain how dog training has evolved into an “ALL POSITIVE” ideology and how it has affected dogs. This book will also show you how to END annoying behavior problems and much more.
If you’re struggling with your dog and unwanted behaviors, learn how to teach your dog NO with this book. You’ll also learn how to teach YES using positive reinforcement to increase behaviors you like and want; behaviors like come, heel, stay and more.
