Discussions are always better than arguments
How is your training sessions like? Is it more an argument, 'fighting' with your dog or is it more a discussion on the learning processes? The argument makes you defensive and always wanted to be right, but the discussion or conversation promotes feedbacks and review thus making training more eventful.
Our daily training routine should be a discussion or conversational, allowing our learners to participate in the process fully.
Check out our Train Your Dog Podcast on The Clicker Training and it's Benefits, discuss on this great tool and how clicker can help in your training processes.

Different Strokes For Different Folks
In everyday life, we are constantly facing decision making, what to eat and what to do, and weighing the opportunity cost. It is the same in Dog Training.
As a good communicator or trainer, you have to understand, the animal learners and the trainers hold a different perspective. Being about to bridge the difference will help in the conversation between learners and trainer.
In our previous blog post, we discuss the topic of different strokes for different folks. Knowing everyone has a different tick, and once you discover, you will be empowered to manage your animal.

When
you are "Jack of All Trades Master of None." The picture shows you may
want to all powers of all Super Heros. However, in Dog Training, you
need to focus on special behaviour or skill. And you can do the work on

approximation to the actual behaviour you want.
