High Vs. Low corrections are subjective to each dog

As humans, we get hung up on the number with the corrections we give our dogs. It’s easy to do and we are subjective to it. However, it’s important to remember in the conversation of high vs. low corrections that those numbers are subjective to dogs as well! What may be a high correction for one dog at a level 4 could be EXTREMELY low to another dog. The most important things about giving a correction or using any aversive methods is that they just need to be motivating. Corrections shouldn’t be warning to your dogs, they are meant to stop unwanted behavior altogether. The more subjectively low level and nagging corrections you give your dog, the more likely you are to have to continue to correct them (or in that case warn them) for that behavior in the future. Motivating corrections send a clear message: Stop doing THAT.
