Dog Training, Dog Behaviour, What are you really encouraging?

It may seem an odd question but what are you not noticing?
I come across many owners that repeatedly, are very much encouraging the behaviour they do not want.
An example of this is when sitting down and absorbed in conversation, their dog waltz’s along, jumps up and gets a lovely pat or scratch around the ears.
Or you are watching t.v. and nudge nudge nudge then pat pat pat.
No I don’t do those things you say…
From my experience in this consultancy I believe it can be useful to film your interaction for a time if you are having any issues in the areas like jumping, nudging etc.
