There are 5 pillars you should adopt in order to be a good training client. When it comes to being a good leader for your dog, it’s important to understand that you may need to unlearn most of what you think you know about training dogs. It’s a lifestyle not a diet.

Knowing where your dog is in the pack-placement is just the start to understanding your compatibility. Your dog is always sizing you up and accessing where you are on the spectrum of being a fit leader. There is a lot to unpack in this episode, much like humans, your relationship with your dog is complex and should be based on more than breed and gender.
