Dog training isn’t about restricting our dogs or shutting down their personalities. It’s about bringing out that personality… at the right times.
There are times I’m going to need a dog to sit silently by my side while I pay at the cash register.
There are times I’m going to need her to stay focused on me and in a tight heel as we walk through a busy market or cross a busy road.
And there are times that I’m going to want to play frisbee and tug-o-war and simply watch her enjoy what she loves most.
We’re not here to restrict our dogs. We’re here to teach them how to handle structure, and how to handle freedom. That’s when life with a dog becomes really fun!
