What makes a dog diffiuclt to live with?

So many things but the biggest cause of a dogs frustration is usually the people with whom they live.

People are brilliant at giving mixed signals, giving everything attention, playing too much, exciting too much, giving s many different instructions for the same thing it is no wonder the dog gets confused and from that confusion comes so much frustration.

When a dog gets frustrated, the owner gets more so, louder, more energetic and more stressed which only adds to the dogs confusion so no wonder the behaviour goes down hill and deteriorates.

People think it is the dog at fault but dogs rarely choose to be naughty, they are inquisitive and nosy but rarely naughty, it tends to be the humans who make the dog naughty.

Obedience and food based training won’t always work as sometimes the levels of stimulation can be too high for the dog to be able to decide to behave differently.

You have to change or get rid of the dog and many people do actually choose to get rid of the dog because they are not prepared to change their behaviour, or even realise their behaviour has to change, let alone the difference it can make, or how quickly.

People need the training if their dog is difficult to live with because the dog is communicating that they are not coping and they need help, they are looking for help from the very source of their frustration, that is true devotion and trust yet so many people just get rid of the dog, rather than look at the cause, themselves.
