Urban myths in training. there’s literally hundreds of them. Some are funny, some are silly and some are harmful.

The harmful dog training myths are the problem ones as they are passed on to people by professionals. They then take what their told and tell others and so on.

Where do these myths come from? Who starts? Does anyone fact check? Dog training myths will always be around, however we should now start to put out some facts.

There’s not just urban myths in training, there are myths in all fields. I’m sure most of us have had a dad or uncle tell us a few old wives tales AND we believed them.

Remember the one your mum would say? If you pull a face and the wind blows, your face will stay that way!

Some of them were even classic ghost stories that we told to scare each other around camp fires

We had some fun with urban myths in training as there are some silly dog training myths out there. We hope you see the silly side in it as well and share the irony behind the story
