2 points about bad advice
This is so true, and is excellent advice. When we adopted our first
dog (as a couple), a rescue Dalmatian, the contract required obedience training with a specific instructor. I would never take my dog to this instructor now, because his methods are based on physical punishment. However, one of the first things he told us was to stop allowing the dog to jump on us, and if we wanted her to be permitted to jump on us at times, we should put it on cue. We did so. This advice was not only a good idea, it made both of us see the limitless possibilities of putting behaviors on cue. We're not JQP owners, but I find it pretty hard to believe that not a single JQP owner with a dog that jumps on people would try putting the behavior on cue. Leah has used more time, energy and bandwidth rationalizing why it wouldn't work to suggest that to her students than it would take to simply due it. Which, unfortunately, is typical. Mustang Sally |
