- Forget that your dog has a nature unlike yours. Talk to them like they were a human child. Call them and act to them like "my baby" ahh my little soldier etc. Would mummys little man like a sweetie? STOP - It's a dog - Do wild dogs treat each other like that? No they don't. So stop acting against nature and learn to treat your dog like wild dog pack leader treats pack.

- Believe that the dog can associate consequences across time and conditions, then draw the same conclusion you would. Except that is - ironically - bad lessons. Dogs learn to associate bad things very well which is a fast route to creating a fearful and dangerous dog.

- Become impatient and angry when hr or she doesn't behave like you want them to. Punish them for not behaving the way you want. As with above, impatience and punishment create fear . Fear can create neurotic as well as aggressive behavior.

Follow those futile techniques and you'll harvest the pay back of a neurotic dog and you will be an unhappy owner. But if these are not the results you desire, be prepared to change YOUR behavior, before you try to alter the dog's.
