One major problem all Always Faithful Dog Trainers see is the humanization of dogs.  Humanizing your dog disrupts the balance in your dog’s life and will lead to behavior issues with time.  Below are the top 10 most common ways people humanize their dogs.

1.       Dogs eating at the dinner table with you and your family

2.       Turning on television for your dog to watch

3.       Dressing your dog in clothing (that Gucci dog shirt is nice but totally unnecessary)

4.       Applying human emotions to describe your dog

5.       Speaking human languages to your dog and expecting them to understand

6.       Allowing the dog to sleep in bed with you

7.       Using a stroller to walk your dog (even though they have four legs)

8.       Applying human solutions to fix dog problems

9.       Giving your dog its own room, with human bedding and furniture

10.   Having birthday parties for your dog

Many of these activities are fulfilling to humans but NOT to dogs.  The good news is your local certified Always Faithful Dog Trainer is ready to teach you how to properly fulfill your dog.
