Punishing before the Crime

Most dogs live their lives in some state of arousal. The problem with arousal is that even if it is at a very low level, it doesn’t take much to blow into severe cases. This is why it needs to be squashed at the first sign. If correction doesn’t happen until the arousal is already escalating, it is only going to be good for creating a blow up much more quickly. By punishing the intent of your dog, you can stop the crime before it even has a chance to get past the tip of your dog’s brain.
