Training a dog like this is going to be 95 ...Yep! Training a dog like this is going to be 95 percent positive, but the 5 other percent is pretty damn important. <br /><br />One way to think of dogs is that they are like a jar that's 95% pure peanut butter and 5% "natural organic" dog shit. <br /><br />You celebrate the 95% that is peanut butter with food, play, and praise, and you actively discourage the 5% that is "natural organic" dog shit with a few not-mean but still quite clear "negative modalities" which may not be very tough at all (timing and consistency is more important than anything).<br /><br />In the end, if you are lucky, and train well and consistently, you end up with a jar that is 99.995 percent peanut butter but still has one dog hair and a mouse turd in it. Which is cool with the FDA and cool with me too. <br /><br />But do some people put up with a lot of dog shit? Oh yes! And if it's coming out of a Malinois, it's big and might have your finger in it. <br />PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-9434133620896939122015-05-18T12:53:51.304-04:002015-05-18T12:53:51.304-04:00Look at number 7 in the list at the link!!Look at number 7 in the list at the link!!PipedreamFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689373141070251132noreply@blogger.com
