Mistakes to avoid for the best training of your dog!

Les erreurs à éviter pour une éducation au top de ton chien 🐾


Training is essential for a harmonious life between a dog and its owner. However, small missteps can turn the learning process into a struggle! 


Here are the most common:


1. Punish too harshly or too often ❌

A dog reacts poorly to fear. Yelling and physical punishment create stress, hinder learning, and can break trust. Focus on positive reinforcement: praise every progress!


2. Lack of consistency 🔄

To say "no" one day and "yes" the next confuses your dog. Be consistent with the rules and apply them all the time. Advise all family members to operate the same way!


3. Ignore patience ⌛

A dog doesn't become wise in a week! Getting angry or giving up will hinder him. Give him time, celebrate every small victory, and stay calm in the face of mistakes.


4. Training sessions that are too long ⏳

It's better to have 5 intense and fun minutes than 30 minutes of repetition. Your dog learns better with short and fun exercises several times a day.


5. Not adapting to one's character 🎭

A puppy or an anxious dog does not learn the same way as a high-energy dog or a senior. Observe your companion, and suggest exercises that are suited to their energy and desires.


In summary:


Focus on gentleness, consistency, and encouragement. A well-trained dog is primarily a fulfilled dog that is connected to its human. 🐕💚
