FOR OUR DOG LOVERS

Learn more about yourself by Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan ( Sent by Lotta)

• Tiny energetic dog dominating everyone and everything because of too soft leadership and no boundaries, rules or limitations, and lack of exercise. Starts 16.34 min.
• Owners lack of confidence makes dog overprotective and aggressive. The owner is advised to train confidence in a practical way and it pays off.
• Love and respect are two different things. This very aggressive dog is in fact very insecure, this insecurity is feeding the aggression. The dog clearly loves its owners, but does not trust or respect them.
• Love and affection at the wrong time. Fear and aggression is created because the handler cannot read the message from the dog, that it is needing space, but instead gives love and affection at the wrong time.
