Tobin Bird believes tough love is important when training a dog to behave when in the countryside and off the lead.."a sausage won't cut it." Tobin is a sheep farmer and dog trainer and has an issue with only "positive reinforcement" being taught by some trainers. He feels treats are fine when a dog does something to be rewarded, but when they are around wildlife and livestock they have to understand that no means no.
