A Challenge to Your Brain

We try to share skills and strategies that are effective and will help you with your dog.  And with these skills and strategies in mind hopefully when the dog does a specific behavior you will stop and look at it not as if he is a good dog or a bad dog but rather what the behavior is and try to figure out why he is behaving that way - look at the different knowledge base and strategies you have learned that might effectively and kindly change that behavior to one that you want.

Just imagine the change in the relationship with your dog when you calmly observe him doing something he wants and realize this is just a behavior that you don't want. That this is not a struggle to force the dog not is it as challenge to your authority. It is a challenge to your brain.
