Sound familiar?
Most “problem dogs” just haven’t been shown another way yet.
Every walk turns into a tug-of-war. Your dog jumps on every guest, ignores you when you call, or treats your hands like chew toys. Maybe you have a new bird dog and aren’t sure where to start.
None of that makes them a bad dog — or you a bad owner. These are some of the most common things I help with, and they can all get better with the right plan and steady practice.
