Why would this confuse the dog? If the dog is properly handled by the instructor and the owner repeats the proper handling after seeing how it is supposed to be done, why would it confuse the dog so much. My dogs don't get confused even though my bf handles them COMPLETELY wrong, letting them jump all over him at the door and lurch and pull when they walk. They don't do that for me.###
I am talking about training a dog, if someone takes your dog to teach him to do something, when the dog doesn’t do what they want they correct the dog. These days many people don’t physically correct dogs so that would confused the dog. If the owner did normally correct the dog the correction would be different because nobody does things the same, that can confuse a dog. We know how important being consistent is so 2 people training a dog the dog will take a lot longer to learn. I used to have 2 dogs, both my husband and I took them to training classes but didn’t bother which dog we were working worth, they took longer to understand what we were asking them to do, both were quick learners and became very obedient dogs.
Your dogs are not being trained by your bf, he is handling them, they will have him well sussed out and know what they can get away with, he will be consistent with what he does when he is interacting with them. You trained your dogs and were consistent with the training, they know they can’t get away with things with you as they can with your bf.
Does that make sense?
