Don't let anyone tell you that your dog is bad just because they have a different idea on what makes a dog good.

Every lifestyle is different; therefore, it would seem that expectations of the dogs we have in our homes should be different. There is no standard on what makes a good dog. AKC has put together their Canine Good Citizen test but in our professional opinion, that does not make a good dog, but a dog that can pass tests in a controlled environment. We also don't believe that if your dog isn't able to pass the test, that doesn't make them "bad."

Nikki and Britteny talk about the different behaviors they need from their own dogs and how they see "good" and "bad."
