Why you should not give the dog to a cynologist for education and training with accommodation

Unfortunately, the service of leaving dogs with a cynologist for upbringing and training with accommodation is still popular among owners. Why “Unfortunately? Let’s figure it out.

Most often, this service is chosen by owners who do not want to spend time and energy on raising and training a puppy, and they hope that after the pet lives with the cynologist, they will receive a “ready” dog. Corrected. With the right set of buttons.

However, there is a problem. A dog is not a machine. Not a computer that a specialist sets up and gives to a “user”. A dog is a living being. It forms attachment and perfectly distinguishes people. This means that it forms a unique relationship with each of them.

Yes, most likely, after living with a cynologist, the puppy will learn to obey … this specialist. Will he learn to listen to you? Generally not a fact. But you are at great risk of destroying the attachment that the pet has formed towards you.

Not to mention the fact that you will not be able to control the actions of the dog handler in any way. So, you will not know what methods he uses. And thereby endanger the well-being of the pet.

And you will be bitterly disappointed.

The task of a competent specialist is not to teach the dog, but to teach you how to interact with your dog. Yes, you can be shown on your pet how to teach him a particular skill. But most of the training with the cynologist is the owner who works with the dog – under the guidance of a specialist.

The only way to get a well-mannered and motivated dog is to train the puppy yourself, including with the help of a competent dog handler. With help – and not by entrusting this task to him.

But if you yourself do not learn how to interact with the dog and train it, you should not expect obedience from the pet. And no dog handler will help you in this case.
