Not everyone who commands their dogs bullies them. However, the meaning of command is not helpful to humane training. A command conjures up the notion of obedience, deference, submission, and subordination. One must follow a command, or else. If one does not obey a command, there must be some sort of ramification or consequence. In training, this would be a correction or punishment. Furthermore, if one does not obey a command or order, then he is being stubborn, obstinate, and therefore, challenging authority.
By commanding a dog, this can place a huge burden on him. Dogs do not innately understand human language, mannerisms, or expressions. People assume dogs know languages such as, English, French, Spanish, Italian, and so on. Regardless of how inept people can be at teaching animals, including other humans, and communicating with them, we hold dogs to such high standards and expect them to understand us. Rarely do people take a look at themselves to evaluate what and how they are communicating to their dogs.

Are you planning to travel with your dog this coming vacation? A little homework and preparation can do wonders in making your travel more fun and hassle-free. Here are a few practical dog travel suggestions that you can follow to make your getaway convenient:
Before anything else, better assess the condition of your canine. Is your pet healthy enough to travel? If your dog is pregnant or just recuperating from a serious illness, it may be better to push back the trip until he fully recovers. Even short trips can cause stress and anxiety to your dog.
If traveling during the summer heat, keep your pet in the cool area inside the car. Keep the air conditioning system open throughout the entire trip.

Some precautions and easy planning can make car travel much safer and more enjoyable for you and your animal companions. Cats and dogs have different needs. In general, driving is far safer and less stressful than flying. Unless you can carry your dog or cat with you into the cabin on a plane (weight restrictions apply), it is better to drive by car.
Make sure all animals are microchipped before you travel. This can be done by a veterinarian. Sometimes, cities and towns offer low-cost microchipping clinics. Ensure addresses and phone numbers for microchipped animals are up to date. In addition, all animals should wear collars with tags. Tags, containing your name, address and phone number, can be sewn into the collars to prevent noisy tags from jingling, or you can buy tag pockets online.
