Being a (Good) Dog in the Human's World
Dog ownership and training is much more nuanced than learning Sit. Stay. Come. Discover the philosophy behind humane dog training from an expert with 20+ years of experience.

Yet even after attempts at breeding dogs to our liking, reading countless training books, and watching TV shows, a fundamental misunderstanding of our relationship still exists.

Ultimately, we risk breaking the delicate bond and hurting the very ones we aim to protect: dogs.
