Making Sense of house rules...
What are your house rules? Now that you have Max, do you think it's necessary to educate Max on your house rules? In my humble opinion, YES. I have seen many clients making Max and many humanize Max. However, I need to hit the nail in the head, Max is a dog and it will be fairer and responsible to accepts Max as a dog and allow poor Max to be and act like a dog. If we can get through this, it's time to set some house rules and boundary. Dog Training is sometime use of management tool. Such as proper sleeping area, toileting, where is the out of bound area, feeding etc Having good house rules enable the owner to take control over Max. Controlling on food, boundary and socialization, give an edge to the owner over the dog and Max will have to respect and trust the owner in order to maintain equilibrium at home. If you have a habit to kick, come out with a plan for a substitute behaviors, if not, Max will return to the old habit to satisfy his needs. iE, if you want Max to stop biting on your furnitures, shoes etc, give or legalize a toy that you allow him to bite and chew at all time. Management is sometime better than cure. You might not need to cure the 'undesirable' behaviors, but rather twik it into your advantage.
Have fun & stay positive!
