Do you whine, bark or growl? – – Training Dogs

Dogs understand the tone of our voice more quickly than the meaning of our words.Their communication fits into three basic categories — whine, bark, growl.

Praise (“Happy talk”)

• – High-pitched, enthusiastic
• – If praising correctly, Lizzie will respond by wagging tail.
• – find the tone that makes Lizzie look happy when you praise her.

Command (bark) mid-range to neutral

• – Not requesting, but telling Lizzie.
• – No nonsense, matter of fact, short words.
• – be direct when commanding

Corrective (growl) guttural tone

• – Never done with anger
• – use deep serious tone for corrections. NO YELLING.
• – Stay calm
