Owning a dog is an amazing and rewarding experience, but also a responsibility, not a luxury. Training your dog properly will lead you to a greater relationship with your dog. One being that of understanding and respect. She will immerse you fully in the training process, and with this attention based approach, she finds that owners end up learning as much, if not more, than their dogs.
