Pound Buddies Rescue-The inside of the story.

Ok, so the most common problem most people have with their dogs is the way they raise them. For example, people have puppies and by puppies I mean 6 months of age or younger, and they hit them, spank them, scream at them... which does them absolutely no good. You develop a relationship with that dog that says "Fear me cuz I will and can hurt you" whether they are hitting the dog hard enough to hurt them or if they are just constantly hitting them lightly and damaging the dog mentally. Either way... If I can train 150 lb Rottweiler, 4 years old without having to lay a finger on him, why do people have to hit puppies... Seriously....

I know I have to remember that most of society is ignorant and has no ideal that they are doing wrong until I sit them down and tell them look:
Puppies and dogs learn by association. If you have company over and your dog walks up to them and you hit them cuz you don't want them licking or whatever it is... you are teaching that dog that those people are a negative association. However, if you train the dog to have manners so that when people come over he can greet them if mannerly, you will have success. So, in that case, you'd have your dog on leash every time someone comes over and if he greeted them in a way that you believe is unmannerly, then you should take him and put him in a crate for 10 minutes and then try again. Repeat as needed and as often.

Anyways, there is too much detail I could get into on this subject... just feeling frustrated right now.
