What Too Much Force Looks Like
I just finished watching this video. I used to train using too much force and my dog looked exactly like that one in the video. Thankfully I received a wakeup call. I began watching Michael Ellis, Tyler Muto, and Larry Krohn train and realized their dogs were not only happier, but their dogs were at a higher level than mine. Only use pressure training and corrections on dogs over the age of 6 months, and only when necessary. Keep it fair and effective. Don't overdo it.
Make sure your dog is having a good time when training. I've seen some trainers on YouTube with dogs that respond slowly, show stress signals, and their dogs won't even look at them! Dogs were bred to work and if they hate it, the trainer (or a previous trainer) is doing something wrong.
