Thread: Teaching NO !

no one has disagreed with me, that to teach a dog a command the basics are . use a command,, A word or hand signal and associate it with a action and positive manner...
example sit , say sit and push down on dogs bum ,,,, so the dog is taking/making a action and it associates that action with the word sit ,,, so am i right or wrong ??

no one here has told me how to or how they teach no ?
but if i read between the lines every one uses it, and you all seem to assusate it with some kind a negative , weather it be a whip or a smake, loud No quite No, sshhh or cowering dog or non cowering dog it seems there is still a negative or fear involved ???





what i think most of you are doing is , instead of teaching a action,, your teaching a emotion and the emotion is fear/pain
if im right wont you be better off holding your dog down and wail you bet it yell no no no so it learns the emotion of fear/pain is associated with no then you only have to bet it once, so when you yell no it knows pain and fear is next

the point im trying to make is exaggerated but its true ?? ,,

kinda like twoshotkill hes linked the emotion of excitement/barking with food or with sitting ,

and like a gun shy dog has linked the emotion fear with the gunshot , thats why you need to associate fun with it


sooooo........tell me how to teach no ? and how did you teach it ? if you agree with what i say above about teaching a command wouldn't teaching NO be like trying to teach a dog the word THE ?
