I would say that that’s probably, um,
just frustration at the end of the day. Like it, it feels like you did not. What you wanted to do done the dog. Wasn’t understanding the dog is get stiff, arming you. Um, my. Sister has started training her own dog as well. And the first, like three days, uh, that she had this puppy, she was in tears by the end of the day, because it was just hard.
He didn’t wanna listen. He was having accidents. He he’s exploring the world, but the way the dog explore the world is with their mouths and their teeth are sharp when they’re puppies, because they can’t defend themselves any other way. And so biting hurts. Yeah. And I know that when I was training the dog, That I was working with before the one that I fully trained, um, he was part lab and part German shepherds.
So his teething stage was a bear because he had a lab’s need to chew, but he also had a German Shepherd’s hold strength. So he’d grab onto the back of my leg and just hold it and shake it. And I was his chew toy. And. Hurt. And that was hard. And that builds up the frustration and the, just the stress and everything.
And there were times that my mom will go, we’ve got the dog, you take a long walk and call the trainer because you just, you need someone who understands what you’re going through and you just need to spill it, spill your guts, get it out. And that I, I did that like once or twice, and that changed my mood and my mindset like that.
And I was able to walk back into the house 15, 20 minutes later and go, okay, let’s try this again.
