Top 5 Reasons Why Dog Training Fails

Imagine, data to support beliefs about everything your dog does, and why they do it - so that all dogs may be understood.

Are you struggling with dog behavior problems? Is the 'dog training' method or technique you are using not working? Join the club! 燗pproximately 90% of dog training efforts fail.?It's not your fault!?Here are the Top Five reasons dog training fails:

1.牋牋?Not having an accurate mental model or paradigm of dogs.

There exists a deeply-held (yet erroneous) belief that training a dog should be easy and not take much time. Almost every one has had a dog in their life, so how can it be that complicated? Most dog training efforts do not work because dogs are very different from us. They don't think the way we do, learn the way we do, see the world the way we do, or have the complex emotional life we do. This means, when communicating with and training dogs, you need a counter-intuitive approach. In other words, those 'gut feelings' you have about how to train your dog are probably wrong. If you have tried to stop your dog from barking by scolding him, or tried to stop him from pulling by yanking on the leash, you know this.

2.牋牋?Not having a trustworthy source

Most dog parents don't know where to turn for help. The problem is, there are so many trainers and training resources, it's difficult to know who can really help you, and how much that should cost.

3.牋牋?Difficulty implementing dog training protocol

Most 'professional' training methods are difficult to transfer to dog parents. There are almost as many 'methods' as there are trainers. It is difficult to follow the sometimes complicated and vast instructions dog parents can obtain from training books, personal trainers, and training classes.

4.牋牋 Lack of trust in training method

Confusion exists over contradictory opinions and methods about dog training. Often, when confronted with contradictory advice, dog parents do nothing, or choose one avenue with little trust or commitment. Without trust that what you are doing will work, it usually doesn't. 5.牋牋牋?Lack of standardized knowledge base of dogs

Anyone can claim anything about training dogs. There is no significant research to determine conclusively which methods or philosophies of dog training work best, which are unnecessary, and which are abusive.?At Canine Kingdom, we are changing all that.

The Canine Kingdom Universal Protocol Center is pursuing conclusive research to determine the facts about dogs, how to best communicate with them, and how to best train them. One of our outcomes will be to determine what training and education methods are most effective while respecting the dog抯 nature. Imagine, data to support beliefs about everything your dog does, and why they do it - so that all dogs may be understood.
