Camilla Gray-Nelson: “74% of the time [in most households / families], the woman is in control of the dog.

For a dog, pooping and peeing is just another behavior, like begging at the table or hanging around my horses.  Like with any behavior, they will repeat it if [...]

#1 Cause of Dog Behavior Issues: TOO MUCH FREEDOM!

December 19, 2010

When dealing with dogs, we must THINK like a dog.  It’s not what we do that matters, but how the dog PERCEIVES what we do.  When we give our dog too much freedom – the freedom to patrol the entire yard or property while we are gone, the freedom to hike off leash without voice [...]
