Just a thought to share

A dog's misbehavior is a cry for help. Read as: "I want a job!" or "Train me to keep my days interesting and so that I feel subordinate, not in a power struggle!" or at minimum "Take me for a long walk EVERY day!" It was a hard lesson, but a lesson learned nevertheless!

Just sharing with my forum friends because this crossed my mind as I worked with my pup today. I learn so much here so anything that I can impart, I sure will! If you don't need the reminder, it's not intended for you

So true! I mean really, its like raising kids. I tell people that raising/training Daisy, our now 6mo old corso, is a lot like raising boys, of which we have 3. She needs to 'run it out', just like the boys; plenty of playtime and toys to keep busy and entertained; consistent (and patient) training and rules, and lots and lots of love. It can be exhausting, for sure, but im also sure itll be well worth it down the line.
