Tip of the Day.
Tonight I want to remind everyone that the rehabilitation of a dog can take some time. Humans often think of dog training like dieting. Humans spend years putting on weight, and then all of a sudden they want to be skinny again. The problem starts when humans do not invest the time they need to solve the problem. Humans have trouble with being consistent. Dog training is the same. Humans have a dog for a couple of years and some of the bad behavior the dog has early on is not corrected, and as the dog gets older the problems get worse. They seek professional help, but do not understand that dog rehabilitation is a process not an event. Not only does the dog have to learn new rules, but the humans have to be retrained as well. No dog can lead a well balanced life until owners take responsibility for the shape there dog is in now, vow to change, let go of the past, meet the physical and emotional needs of the dog, and finally take back control of our house by stepping into the pack leader role. Remember, the longest journey begins with the first step!
