I want to be a trainer and that’s the reason why I made this group. I know that there are probably people like me who want to be a trainer, but think that they can’t because they’re blind or have disabilities, but that’s one of the reasons why I made this group so that there is resources and people to help us Achieve that dream and give us the resources that we need. #forcefreedogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #fearfreedogtraining #sciencebaseddogtraining #dogtraining #blind #visuallyimpaired #legallyblind #disabled #disabilities https://www.facebook.com/groups/303261141692162/?ref=share https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDkSyiL4uy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don’t blame, train!

A thought:  Why do some people cling to certain training concepts with unrelenting persistance?  Does it have to do with ego, refusal to admit that there may be a better way?  

When you know better, you should do better.  Start doing better, train instead of blame. Take the time to show your dog what you want him/her to do.  Drop unrealistic expectations.  Realize your dog is not psychic and is not willfully disobedient.  Focus on what your dog is getting right and reward/reinforce it.

Stop relying on training methods that have been debunked by decades of behavioral and ethological research.  

*Feel free to add your thoughts and pass on, forward, post up, etc.....the time has come to do better by our dogs.
