Sometimes we have dogs that don’t like particular things.  Whether it’s other dogs/people, riding in the car, or even playing ball.   Is it realistic of us to expect them to change those feelings or behaviors?  If so, how do we do that?  This show is about adjusting our expectations to meet the needs of our dogs.  We hope you enjoy it!!

Believe it or not, having your dog’s attention is not the same thing as getting your dog’s attention.  The former is much more important than that latter.  More often than not, if you have the first part, the second part falls into place without much work.  The other way around is much more difficult.  In today’s show we discuss why having your dog’s attention is better, and the ways to make that happen.

This newest pawscast is about getting your dog to walk without pulling on the leash.  We call it “loose leash walking”, not “heeling”.
