What does this entail? Everything I know about training dogs is apparantly wrong with Vlcaks.
My understanding is that I need to get Zaz to submit to me.
The experience I have with training dogs is to do that, I need to roll him onto his back, holding his muzzle with my hand until he stops squirming, and then reward (ie belly rub) and praise him when he submits to me.
I've been told not to do that with this breed.
So, I left this to my room mate to deal with. -He made mumblings about getting a Leerburg dominant dog collar to train Zaz with. Two have been ordered, but apparantly, neither have been the right size.
No additional training has been done.
Zaz and my cat got into an altercation tonight.
I have trained 3 dogs, asserting my dominance like I had outlined above.
Could someone please tell me why this is not a good idea with Vlcaks?
