Consequences are important!

. At The Academy, all training plans start with what the dog can do right now and end with the terminal behavior. This is usually dec...ided during the initial consultation with the client, i.e. what do they want the dog to do at the conclusion of training? The terminal should read like a clear and precise contract (e.g. when the client returns from the grocery with bags, the dog will go to mat on a verbal cue, lie down, and stay for 5 minutes while the client unpacks groceries) rather than an idea with fuzzy criteria (e.g. the dog won't jump when the client puts away groceries). The clearer the trainer is on what exactly the dog will do at the end of the plan, the clearer it will be to the dog.

Forcing your puppy into a situation that makes them nervous or scared isn’t going to let them get over it. It’s much to make them more nervous/scared.

If your boss doesn’t pay you in a timely manner will you still want to work for them?
