Yellow lab puppies
These are trainers who intimidate and force the dogs to do what they want (the William Koehler trainers) that today we regard as old school "yank and crank" trainers being kind, cruel and abusive to be accurate. The problem with yank and crank trainers is the dogs seldom like their handlers and in fact are often afraid of them, and their training produces inconsistent results along with dogs that don't like or respect their owners. If you don't have a good bond with your dog, or if your dog does not respect you as a pack leader, you will never reach consistency in training. A very important point to note about dog training is that any form of training should be approached from the perspective of 'positive reinforcement'. This simply means that you should reward your dog with praise, a treat or even better, both for any positive behavior that she exhibits. Success will come quickly to anybody who praises a dog for good behavior. The same cannot be said for somebody who punishes a dog for NOT exhibiting good behavior.
