Tip: Training vs. Teaching

There is a difference between teaching and training a dog.  So often I hear, “My dog knows what they are supposed to do, but they just won’t do it”

When this is the case, you have done a great job of teaching your dog, now all you have to do is train them.
Teaching your dogs tells them what to do. Once your dog understands what to do, it is your second job to follow through and make sure they respond. This is training your dog.

Being a great dog trainer involves action. Don’t be a “spectator” and watch your dog misbehave or not listen.  Direct your dog if they are not directing themselves. Help them be successful. You will be rewarded for it!

Happy Training,

Susie 🙂
