If your dog isn't listening, it's usually because your body language, tone, and consistency are all over the place. Stop trying to 'fix' them with just commands and start looking at how your own energy is confusing them, because half the time, that 'stubborn' behavior is just a reaction to your own stress. ### It's Not Magic, It's Science If you want to fix your dog’s behavior, you have to stop treating them like a robot that needs reprogramming. We need to look at **Pavlovian conditioning** (how they associate patterns) and **operant conditioning** (what they get in return for actions). Most owners are inconsistent—they yell when they're stressed, coddle when they feel guilty, and then wonder why the dog is confused. ### The 'Alpha' Myth You don't need to be a 'pack leader' in the aggressive sense. A true alpha dog is calm, confident, and trustworthy, not a bully. If your dog is showing aggression, it’s usually because they don't trust your judgment, not because they're plotting to take over the house. ### My Reality Check: * **Read the room:** Dogs process information via smell first, then sight, then sound. If you're stressed, they smell it and mirror it. Fix your own energy, and you'll be halfway to fixing your dog. * **Stop the 'guchi-puchi' tax:** If you feed them when they whine, you're training them to whine. * **Respect the breed:** You can't train a Beagle the same way you train a Rottweiler. Understand their innate traits rather than fighting them. Whether you're dealing with a rescue Indie in a Gurugram society or a high-energy Husky, my approach is the same: no-nonsense, evidence-based, and focused on the long-term bond, not just a quick fix. If you're tired of conflicting advice from internet forums and want to actually understand your dog, let’s talk. ## About Kiga I'm Prateek. After 17 years of managing everything from aggressive Huskies to confused Indies, I know that training isn't just about treats. It’s about building a relationship based on respect and clear communication, not confusion.
