I Love My Dogs With My Whole Heart

What do you think it works better with doggies: training or affection?
According to the dog's whisperer, Cesar Millan, the key is to follow this order: physical exercise-training and finally affection.
I agree with it however I follow the physical exercise-affection-affection and finally a little of training.
Perhaps, it's because my doggies are small doggies but I find how they obey me and follow me as if they trust me and I think I got this trust through kindness.

Is it very different with big doggies? I couldn't do it in another way but if I have a big dog in the future, I would try it if I would have to do it.

How's your experience with training or dealing with digs?
I think they are the most grateful creatures in the world.

My personal experiences are bigger dogs are easier, probably because they are selected for a special task, if at least the race isn't to much damaged by inbreed and bad selection thanks to their popularity. Also a lot of difference between one, and an other race, of course.

Yeah we picked up two small dogs from a Pet Rescue... and yes... they really do want to follow us and look up to us... and crave affection. These two don't train very well, though that may be more about our technique... lol... oh, well,... and they can be stubborn on what they want... but they will ultimately obey, and seek affection all the time.

You know, rescue doggies are all affection but they sometimes bring some bad habits. My second doggie was adopted and he had some bad habits like showing anxiety and chasing his tail or rushing onto motorbikes. Luckily, he abandoned these habits.

It seems to me that when we have a small doggie, we spilt him/her much more than when having a bigger one. In the end, they are little furry balls. Lol!

Thank you for rescueing doggies. :-)
