Guiding an Unsure Dog Vs Correcting a Brat

When working with a confused dog, corrections should be light and given with the intention of guiding your dog. However, there are some bratty, pushy dogs that just refuse to do what they are asked. These corrections are more stern. In this video, Kaiba gives an example of both instances. In the beginning, Kaiba isn’t really sure how he is going to position himself on the tree stump that I have given him to perform “Place,” but with a little guidance he figures it out pretty quickly. Later in the video, after proving to me several that he understands that the rock is his “Place,” he flat out refuses to obey the command. This requires a higher level correction. See if you can see the difference in his communication to me in these instances.
