When my partner and I got our puppy, Mocha, we needed to train him. Out of convenience I started following the advice of a few YouTube dog “experts.” What I quickly learned: The “experts” weren’t so much experts at puppy training. Rather, they were experts at looking and sounding knowledgeable on social media. One wasn’t even a certified dog trainer.
It’s no surprise then that the majority of their advice turned out to be greatly unhelpful. We were becoming nothing but treat dispensers to Mocha rather than building a trusting relationship with him.
After realizing our mistake, we sought out a local dog training team who had decades of experience and knowledge in animal behavior. These individuals had put time and effort into learning about dog behaviors and personalities. Over their careers, they had worked with every kind of personality and behavioral problem imaginable, and had gathered deep wisdom and viable solutions to correct them.
