Dogs that are sensitive or fearful (they may or may not display submissiveness or fear-based aggression) have unique circumstances that need to be addressed through clear and non-confrontational dog obedience training. Dog\u2019s that display either introverted or extroverted behavior that is based on fear can be challenging to train without the proper guidance and coaching. The main goal in training dogs of this temperament type is to build confidence in the dog through obedience exercises and other learned behavior. The first step is gaining trust from the dog through communication using the Sit Means Sit dog training system. The second step in training is to rehabilitate the dog to create new default behavior. In cases of fear-aggression, confidence is key to teaching the dog how to become trustworthy. In cases of submissive or sensitive dogs, clarity and confidence is key.<\/p>\n
The real advantage that Sit Means Sit offers is firstly a free demonstration with your dog to show you the effectiveness of our training and how the Sit Means Sit dog training collar and proper training can be utilized to build your dog\u2019s confidence. Secondly, when dealing with high emotion dogs such as these, it is important to maintain clear communication, but without bringing confrontation into the mix. Confrontational training can only push a dog further into their protective ‘shell’. By teaching the dog how to focus their energy and attention on their obedience commands, it takes their mind off of the distractions that cause them to become fearful.<\/p>\n
With a sensitive dog, we are able to combine physical touch to bring in the element of attention that is required to learn, but on a much more effective level than you could normally achieve with a leash. The adjustable nature of the Sit Means Sit dog training collar allows for the trainer to adjust the collar to a lower level than is even perceptible by most humans. This simply allows us to compensate for physically and emotionally sensitive dogs.<\/p>\n
