Use Proper Voice Tone When Giving Commands to Your Dog
By Tracie Hotchner
"Try to keep the same tone of voice when you give a command to your dog - the tone of your voice is as important as the command word itself.
"Keep in mind that your tone needs to be consistent in order to get a reliable response from the dog.
"Change the tone of your voice and you may be changing the whole meaning of the command."
This advice appears to be reasonable if not simple to follow. . .unless you are a first-time dog owner. However, with the brief experience I had, this advice is certainly the Bible according to Fido. I will keep these words of wisdom in mind when I search again for the right dog for me.
