It happens more often than you think: dogs that react strongly on the leash. They bark, growl, lunge, or try to pull away when they see another dog (or sometimes a person). This behavior can look intense, but it’s often not nearly as ‘aggressive’ as it seems. Much more often, it stems from emotions like fear, insecurity, or frustration.

Eén van de meest besproken onderwerpen over honden is de term “dominantie”. In dit artikel gaan we hier dieper op in om te kijken wat dit nu precies is en welke invloed dit heeft op moderne trainingstechnieken.

Social media and internet forums are full of it. Dog owners who ask a question about their dog’s undesirable behavior often get the answer: “You just have to correct it…!” The forms or methods of these corrections vary greatly. Everyone has an opinion about each other’s methods or about someone else’s opinion. Ultimately, this leads to an endless discussion about the how, what, and why of correction, and the conversation is no longer about the dog owner’s request for help.
