Punishing a Dog
Posted By Ryan O'Meara Date: 29/07 Posted Under: Dog TrainingIn issue 21 of K9 Magazine we opened the floor to an assembly of dog trainers, pet care professionals, novice and experienced dog owners to discuss the highly controversial subject of punishing a dog within the context of their regular training program.

As a dog trainer the majority of mistakes made by owners is that they repremand their dog at the wrong time and with incorrect energy.
