Dog Training 411: Spotlight on Rocky
Rocky is a beautiful young pit bull that I'm in the trenches working with. I've learned some key things from working with him, the first one being that dogs always need more exercise than we think they do. Rocky is a hyper active submissive dog who responds well to consistency and authority.
One fabulous thing about dogs is that they truly do respond to their environment and the energy that is projected within their environment. This is great news because we are responsible for creating their environment and we are also responsible for the energy we project.
Dogs respond to calm and assertive energy with a calm submissive energy, given their inclination towards pleasing their owners based on their relationship of trust and respect. Rocky has been a great dog to work with and learn from, and his owners are doing a great job with him so far.
