In addition, shock collars and related devices can actually irritate your dog and eradicate current good behaviors. You will usually get negative results with these techniques.
When getting closer to a dog, move slowly and let the dog smell your hand. This gives the dog the opportunity to recognize your scent and start to trust you. As you become close to one another, fear will be diminished and opportunities to learn together will be increased.
Be patient when training a dog. This reduces frustration and annoyance when dog training. Understand that the proper training will come with time, so cut your dog some slack and let them learn.
Training Sessions
