If one of these myths confuses you then please comment. I'm happy to explain the reality in more detail.
1. Puppies should not go to puppy classes/the mall/friend's houses until they have had all their vaccinations at 16 weeks of age
2. Aggressive dogs are dominant.
3. Dogs pull on leash and jump up on people because they are dominant
4. If you let your dog sleep on the bed, he will become the alpha.
5. It's importnat to rub a dog's nose in it's feces or urine to properly housetrain it.
6. Dogs can't learn from positive reinforcement. You have to punish them so they know they are wrong.
7. My dog is aggressive towards strangers because he is protecting me.
8. If you use treats to train, you will always need them.
9. Dogs urinate inside the house and barks when him alone because he is spiteful.
10. Pit Bulls and Rottweilers are aggressive due to a "missing gene"
There will be more to come
