How to Correct your Dog's Behavior

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Carl Puentes from K-9 Solutions in Miami, Florida and today I am going to show you dog training techniques from my new book, "Who is Training Whom". Okay when you are going to correct a dog you want to make sure that your hands are together; left one down, right one up. Almost like holding a bat. Your hands shouldn't pass your waist and shouldn't last more than 1 second. Always do it to the side. The jerk to the side and your hand comes back down like a spring. If it lasts too long, more than a second you are doing it the wrong way. So you want to make sure that you never pull this way. Always to this side and up. You say no at the same time. Eventually replace the corrective jerk with just no because no is really going to be something to the dog in that case. Try not to jerk and say no. He may be thinking about doing what you want him to do like sit let's say and now you are saying don't sit after all. So that could be pretty confusing. Dog training should be a fun time for you and the dog and so once you put yourself in your dog's spot, everything turns around a whole bunch and these training commands are useful. You know they are practical and use them everyday and could save your dog's life one day. On behalf of Expert Village, thanks for watching. "
