Every owner wants to see a docile and calm pet next to him.

However, sometimes, due to some mistakes in dog training, you can get the opposite effect.

In this case, in the process of raising an animal, it is important to take into account its character and instincts.

Lack of consistency

This is one of the most common mistakes.

Consistency is important in training a dog. Otherwise, all the methods and efforts will be useless.

Therefore, if you have forbidden something to your pet, then this prohibition should be in effect all the time, regardless of the circumstances and conditions.

Otherwise, the animal will become confused and begin to doubt the owner’s words.

Punishment on approach

No matter what the dog has done, you should never punish it when it comes to you.

As a result, your four-legged friend may develop bad associations and lose trust in the owner.

As a result, the animal may end up approaching a person in other situations.

Excessive emotionality

Emotions can only get in the way when raising a pet.

You can't yell at a dog or act aggressively. Otherwise, there is a risk of provoking reciprocal aggression.

Therefore, communication with the animal should be calm, even, but at the same time firm.

In this case, a stern tone will be enough for the pet to understand that it did something wrong.
