Time to put your dog on a word diet!

Your dog needs to go on a diet. What type of diet you may ask, a word diet!
If your dog could say something to you it would be, "Stop talking and show me!"
We tend to over fill our dogs with words. Dog training has become more like a dissertation for a thesis rather than teaching a dog how to be trained.
We explain, theorize, pontificate, exaggerate and dramatize what we want of them. Our insistence is for them understand precisely why they need to achieve our intended goals. Subsequently, we fill their brains with a deluge of continual background noise that present no concrete information.
Think of those big traditional holiday meals.
If someone asks you to eat one more piece of pie, you will refuse, stating with confidence, "I couldn't eat one more thing!"

Our dogs are grazing on noise that fills them up and leaves them feeling uncomfortable after the training sessions end.
Once your dog reaches verbal overfill, they won't want to hear one more word or feel comfortable training any longer. "Sorry, can't hear one more thing!"
How many times a day do they hear their name repeated with no indication of what they are supposed to do when they hear it? "Dog,dog,dog,dog,dog,dog,dog...!" Then, once their is no response to their name, the next assault begins, "come,come,come,come. Come here, here, here, here...!" The problem is, once the dog indicates they do not understand how to respond, filling them with more sound becomes a word feeding frenzy rather than definitive direction.
A dog hears so many non consequential words they have to filter each and every day, sound becomes that big holiday meal to them. Once they are full, they don't want to eat for a while.
Keep them hungry in learning. Stuffing them with words will only cause them to say, "Sorry, can't hear one more thing!"
