There is no one effective, foolproof method of training your dog. So how do you know which method is best? Do you consult an academically trained behaviorist, an obedience trainer, or your uncle who has had dogs all his life? There are several points the training community can agree on. First, dogs are social animals. They were born and bred to serve and please humans. Their lives are forever tied to ours. Second, the social rules that dogs live by are different from ours... and simpler. Dogs need to adjust their native social rules to align better with ours.
Quite a lot of training...
