It's not hard to be nice. You might find yourself being happier for it. Note: this is not a dog related topic so… Take it for what it is.

Your character matters. If you have poor character in one area… You're a liar? Don't take responsibility for your actions? Mistreat others? I'd put money on the fact that you lack character in many areas. Which will call into question everything I might know about you - as it should. Celebrate those out there who recognize that character is important - and speak out appropriately.

If you want to be impactful as a dog trainer, or even as an engaged pet parent who hopes to influence how others live with their dogs, consider whether your solutions, suggestions, and advice are matched to what the learner can actually absorb and implement. The best advice in the world is not useful if the person receiving it cannot understand it, manage it, or realistically fit it into their life.

If you judge quality training from social media, and then come to conclusions about training that differs from your own, you will always miss the mark. You'll lose the opportunity to become educated about what truly represents the best training out there.

Should you spay or neuter your dog? I have no idea. But we can talk about it, and maybe that will help you make a decision.

What does it mean to train the dog in front of you? Here I talk about Tye/Border Collie vs Xen/Belgian vs Brito/Terrier - Breed tendencies vs. individual quirks. In short, Tye is an odd duck, so I train him the way he prefers.

Nope. You don't have to add intentional aversive so that your dog learns how to handle them.

Learn to let misunderstandings stand - once you know someone is listening to misunderstand, you can comfortably move on.
Don't get pulled into stupid conversations. For all you know, you're arguing with a 15-year-old… or someone who is deeply unwell and incapable of doing better. Either way, those conversations never end well. Spend your energy elsewhere.

Fearful dog? A little aggressive and forward? The vast majority of the time, you can manage the behavior and make everyone happy. Even better, often good management creates a situation where the dog feels safe and knows they will be left alone, and the problem behavior goes away. Don't make things worse by forcing it. Might work for a few months but… high risk with little payoff.
