To be a good dog trainer, you need to be able to communicate clearly with a dog. If the dog does good, you reward it with praise or treats. If the dog makes an error, you withhold his anticipated reward. This cartoon appeared last week in the paper and I thought it was funny. If my brother was this dog (he missed the spelling gene--he even misspells my name! But to his credit, he did get ALL the math genes in the family), he'd never get to go for a walk either!
