We do this as their partner in Dialogue , not as their master. No servitude needed. All dogs deserve Dialogue , not just those who have caused problems for their families. We must love them enough to give them this gift even if they've never caused us any grief. Without Dialogue all dogs, to a degree dependent on their individual personalities, go through life suffering some degree of confusion and anxiety.
All dogs are redeemable.
Some trainers say that puppies who are not properly cared for and socialized in their first months will develop irreversible behavior problems . Some say that dogs from shelters are poor prospects for good companions because of bad breeding, bad background, etc. This kind of thinking alone is a death warrant for millions of dogs languishing right now in shelters, desperately needing adoptive homes. No matter how frightened or how aggressive a dog may appear to be, he wants a good relationship with humans. But the dog's inborn rule book is preventing that relationship.
