Myth: Tough Dogs Need Tough Training
“Sure, clicker training might work for a Poodle. But a Pit Bull needs to be shown who’s boss.”
We hear this all the time, and I want to put a rest to this myth once and for all. Many people believe that clicker training and other reward-based training methods won’t work for their breed. Whether it be a Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman, Cane Corso, Malinois, Rhodesian Ridgeback, or Dogo, I’m often told that a certain breed is stubborn or dominant, and therefore needs to be trained with harsh corrections in order to become a well-behaved member of society.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I would argue that these breeds especially need to be trained with positive methods, more than other breeds. Let’s bust the myths and discuss ways to present your “tough” dog in a positive light.
