Super Nanny Has Great Dog Training Tips?

I do not have children. However, I really enjoy the show Super Nanny. I think because it shows how certain skills can make a real difference in relationships between children and their parents. Also some of those skills are or should be used in dog training.

What are these qualities that I see that remind me of dog training AND/OR good dog care?

  1. Consistency, consistency, consistency. In both cases, beings without the knowledge of how to navigate through human society as yet.   This builds both a communication between parties, and a knowledge of correct societal behavior.
  2. Praise
  3. Discipline
  4. Activity and Exercise.
  5. Parental participation
These all happen to be a good part of any dog training plan as well.   Bringing up a child is harder, as they have the ability to verbally talk back and argue LOL.   Plus time outs in crates would most likely be frowned upon.

Note to self. When you leave spell check on in blogger, and then copy from html, you are going to get words highlighted in yellow. Weird this happened on blogger though, must not have clicked spell checker off?
