Communication or Control?
Description
Communication or control?
When trainers talk about communication on social media, they generally mean control.
They do the talking. They tell the dog what to do. The dog responds to that…or else.
That's not communication. Communication is a two-way street. Control? That's another matter all together!
The next time you read about a trainer helping to improve your communication, ask yourself… Do they really mean control?
Go ahead and do what you want with that. But be honest about it. If your dog is not part of the conversation, then calling "getting your way" communication is a marketing tool, and it's dishonest.
Which brings up the next question. Have you fooled yourself? Can you differentiate communication from control? How did that happen?!
