Solving Dog Behavior Problems
& Achieving Training Goals
Dog training is a teaching assignment. The dog is your student
As the dog learns, their confidence, their eagerness to pay attention to you and their willingness to take instructions from you grow. The foundation exercises – sit, down, stand, heel, etc. – are the means to the major training goals – pay attention, do as you say, stay on task and have fun.
