Yeah, so the basic intuition that went into this is that dogs are beings who a) Mostly act on their system 1 intuitions b) People have an intuition how to train. I think this makes them basically act out what our subconscious would feel in any given situation you put them in, and hopefully gives you an intuition for how to change it? I think I potentially projected more confidence than I should have.
Bonus tips for training your dog:
Giving more treats than slaps on the nose will result in a happy and confident dog, giving more nose slaps gives a fearful dog.
Giving food under the dinner table (i.e rewarding it in situations it shouldn’t be rewarded) will result in a dog looking at you longingly and/or begging for food every time you sit down to dinner.
Dogs which have been abused and rescued from shelters often take a while to recover. With sufficient patience and tender care they should do.
I welcome anyone with extra dog-training knowledge to help us out with other tips.
