371. Criticizing Our Dogs
In today's episode I explore the consequences of constantly criticizing our dogs. We know how the negative effects of physical force and intimidation can have grave consequences for our dogs. I think we often overlook how constantly being criticized can negatively impact our dog's emotional well being. I share examples of why I choose not to be super critical of my dogs behavior even when they are engaged in something I don't want them to do and how I shift their behavior in those moments.
