The 4 leaderships hats of dog training will change the way you think about how to bring up your dog and address any problem behaviour. There are many different dog training techniques on the internet and YouTube and each trainer believes they use the most effective methods. However no two dogs are the same. Some dogs are bottomless dustbins others give us anxiety they’re so picky. Some are brave and take everything in their stride. Others are nervous and are easily affected by a small mishap. Some love affection and attention and others prefer their own space. Some thrive on exercise and adventure others don’t want to leave the neighbourhood. Dogs differ in size, strength, temperament, breed, intelligence, wilfulness, and perception of each situation.

Therefore, we need to adapt our ideas and training philosophy to each dog. If you have an anxious dog, you will treat it differently to an aggressive dog. If you have a bold confident dog that wants to take you on you will treat it differently to a shy dog. If you have a dog with separation anxiety, you will treat it differently to one who wants to be left alone. Yet dog training ideas puts us all into camps that polarises our thinking. For example, purely positive reinforcement training vs pack theory. Positive punishment vs negative punishment. As well as multiple other approaches that end up in the mix such as E-collar training, games to play with your dog, obedience training and much much more. Once one loosely identifies with an approach they debate their ideas over the internet to whom is correct. The truth being there are many ways.

"The 4 Leadership Hats of Dog Training" by Nigel Reed, also known as "The Dog Guardian," are as follows:

The Nurturer Hat: This hat represents providing care, support, and affection to your dog. It involves nurturing their emotional well-being, building trust, and creating a safe and loving environment.

The Coach Hat: This hat emphasises the role of guiding and teaching your dog. It involves setting clear boundaries, establishing rules, and using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desired behaviours and discourage unwanted ones.

The Authority Hat: This hat represents being a calm and assertive leader for your dog. It involves establishing yourself as the authority figure in your dog's life and providing consistent guidance and structure. This hat focuses on promoting respect and obedience.

The Bodyguard Hat: This hat highlights the importance of ensuring your dog's safety and protecting them from potential dangers. It involves being vigilant and aware of your surroundings, identifying potential threats, and taking necessary measures to keep your dog secure.

By incorporating these four leadership hats into your approach to dog training, you can establish a balanced and respectful relationship with your dog, promote their well-being, and foster a positive training experience.

The 4 leadership hats of dog training gives you the mental flexibility to adapt your approach to each dog. You can wear one hat at a time up to all 4 hats or any mixture, depending on the situation. The 4 hats of dog training is about the energy you bring to your leadership position which conveys a powerful message of your intentions.

** PS: I NEED YOUR HELP **

My goal is to better the lives of #onemilliondogs in my lifetime. It is clearly impossible for me to do this on a one to one basis. I have seen that with around every thousand views on my videos, I get a comment or email thanking me and letting me know the video has helped. So working on that basis, I have to make videos on how to address every problem behaviour and accumulate ONE billion views in order to help 1,000,000 dogs. You can help me reach #onemilliondogs by (1) subscribing to my channel and (2) give this video a thumbs up - so YouTube suggests this video to more dog owners and we can help 1,000,000 dogs all over the world. Thank you so much! --------------#understandingdogtraining #the4leadershiphatsofdogtraining
