   Your dogs are afriad of you, it is obvious. There is no trust. Years ago, I trained dogs with correction and when my dog was on her death bed .. I would have done anything to take it back and have a beautiful relationship based on communication and respect. Its not too late for you to have that either.Being mentally healthy includes excercise, mental stimulation through games and challenges that can include obedience training. NOT being forced, intimidated or punished into doing something.

   In reply to: Tips for Building relationships with dogs. watch?v=lgaOgULK-s4 When he (the trainer) forces the dog down to sit, I observed the eye movement, lack of eye contact, lowered head and overall posture of the dog. To me it indicated submission.. but not positive submission – afraid submission. I’m new to dog training.. Are they the sort of signals you are meant to look for?

   Lack of eye contact, lowered head, tight /tense body, slow deliberate movements, lip licking, deliberate look aways are all signs of fear/stress. See how his dogs leave the room? They are afraid of him, there is no trust. Very good observation skills for a person new to training!Check out Dr. Sophia Yin for Credible information on dog training.

   A dog is either working to earn a reinforcement or to avoid an adversive. The reinforcement doesnt have to be food, it can be the environment, play, attention going for a walk etc.

   If a behaviour is rewarded it is repeated. That is a fact of survival. That is not human psychology but the psychology of every living being. If you want a behaviour, reward it. If you dont, take away a percieved reward. If you choose to correct, then you will have to correct every time for the rest of his life… Often a correction is a reward, since dogs are social being and what they really want is your attention.

   Why won’t your dog sit when you ask him to? It always seems that you have to push his butt down. Your dogs do not seem very happy or enthusiastic when you are around.
