Here's a rookie mistake I made with my dog after not having one for over 20 years:

When I was first training Miles, I made my voices different for correction and praise. My correction voice is close to my normal voice, but sterner. My praise voice is a ridiculous baby voice with lots of lilting and happy sounds -- which is fake and exhausting.

I figured that by age 2 I would be able to forgo the baby voice.

I COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG. I'm stuck with the baby voice now. 🤦🏽
