It’s election day here in America.
And I will do my civic duty and vote today.
I would never make a very good politician.
Mostly because I always try to apply some of Napoleon Hill’s best advice. If you read Nap Hill’s stuff you quickly learn that he teaches “accurate thinking.” A skill that is difficult to develop.
The main reason is that we make decisions based on emotions. Once you pair a belief backed by strong emotions, look out. Normal, rational people become insane and all reason goes out the window.
Years ago I saw firsthand the harm choke and prong collars were having on dogs in training.
It took a while for me to step back because I believed that what I was doing was correct. Not to mention how do you go back to a client and say: “Gee Fred, sorry that I recommended a prong collar and that your dog is now dog aggressive. Take it off and start using just a buckle collar. Thanks for your patience and understanding.”
Difficult to do. Most people (dog trainers) would rather argue with me that I don’t know what I’m talking about and keep using them even in the face of clear, hard hitting facts.
If I was like some politicians, I would try to get as many people as possible to buy my courses and read my emails. I would try to find the middle ground and make as many people as possible happy with me.
That’s not how I roll.
BUT – I bet all the dogs would vote for me. Isn’t that the vote that would count?
Anyway, you can train your dog to walk on leash never using a choke or prong collar. I do it all the time and you can do the same by following the system I show in the Leash Walking Secrets Course.
