Once your dog knows these three elements, everything is easy!
2. Have Mutual Respect
Treat your dog like a member of your family because your dog IS a member of your family. If you have respect, your dog will also do the same!
3. Do Not Use Choke, Shock, or Pinch Collars
Did you know that Petco refuses to carry shock collars? Why? Imagine if you were training at a new job and your boss put a shock collar on you. Every time you made a mistake or misunderstood you got shocked. Doesn’t seem like the best and most effective way to train don’t you think?
4. Speak in Complete Sentences

5. You Don’t Have to Be the Alpha Dog
