Common things said by my clients and my opinions or common responses - Client - My dog never listens Me - Your dog is always listening... Client - I rescued my dog Me - No. You adopted. The staff who work tirelessly at the rescue organization or shelter rescued your dog Client - My dog has all these problems and I don't know why Me - Has your dog had any formal training? Client - No Me - Then why does it surprise you? Client - But I've had 5 dogs my whole life Me - I trained 6 dogs, just yesterday Client - But my dog wants this Me - Kids often want maccas, do you let them have it whenever they want it? Client - My dog is disobeying Me - No, your dog just can't speak English Client - He knows what he's supposed to do Me - So what? Client - My fur baby Me - No, your dog Client - I use a flexi-lead Me - Throw it in the bin Client - I use a gentle leader Me - Do you have a horse? Client - It's only mouthing Me - It's biting Client - I wouldn't use it on my kids Me - Do you feed your kids dog food? No, then don't compare your kids and your dogs Client - Doesn't my dog hate being outside? Me - They're a dog Client - But dogs are domesticated Me - No. Dogs are born wild, you domesticate them through proper training and socializing Client - But the vet said this... Me - And how'd that work for ya? Client - My dog can't be off lead because he never comes back Me - Then how come he's sitting by my feet? Client - My dog loves to please me Me - When has your dog ever done anything for you without the hope of getting something in return? Remember. A good dog trainer is hired to tell you the truth. Truth isn't always what you had in mind and sometimes the truth hurts but any canine professional worth their salt will always be honest and put the dogs needs above their own.
