Question
I’m afraid I have ruined my relationship with my dog, can I start over?
Answer
I can't tell you with 100% certainty that you can permanently repair your relationship because a lot of it will depend on your ability to try a new approach AND the dog's resilience. Some dogs can move past what they
consider aversive experiences and others will always have problems letting go of their old concern about specific training commands or situations.
If you never have used food or treats, I'd start over like your dog is a new puppy and condition him to the marker training system where we use food (and later toys) to reward him. One thing to consider,
when you use verbal commands for him-DO NOT use your old cues.
