But "how" we get them to behave like model canine citizens makes all the difference. Modern dog training is about properly motivating dogs rather than "commanding" them. By focusing on teaching and reinforcing the behaviors we like, we can set our dogs up for success. This is the "win-win" way. And it works
You will learn:
