Ambition is a powerful motivator and can drive us to achieve great things. However, when it comes to dog training, it is important to not let your ambitions get mixed up with your capabilities, especially when working with aggressive dogs.
Working with aggressive dogs can be a daunting task, but with the right approach and mindset, it is possible to help these dogs overcome their behaviour issues and lead happy and fulfilling lives. However, it is important to set realistic goals and to not let your ambitions cloud your judgement or put yourself or others in danger.
One of the most common mistakes that dog trainers make when working with aggressive dogs is to have unrealistic expectations. Aggressive behaviour is not something that can be fixed overnight, and it is important to recognize that progress may be slow and incremental. Pushing the dog too far too fast can be counter-productive and can actually make the aggressive behaviour worse.
