Are you family members on board with your dog\\u2019s training plan?

Setting really clear expectations is important with family members to set your dog up for success (and you!). Let\\u2019s face it, it can be really frustrating when everyone has their own opinions and thoughts on how training should happen and what is acceptable and what isn\\u2019t acceptable.\\xa0

  • Enforcing your expectations
  • Providing a cost (what is the consequence if they do something you don\\u2019t want or do want) and\\xa0
  • Shaping them into interacting with your dog in the best way\\xa0

are all really key strategies with family and friends.\\xa0
