Does the Dog Truly Understand?

When training our dogs, it is far too easy to assume all is well. We get one good rep and immediately assume, "the dog got it, now we can progress!" However, does the dog truly understand what we want them to do? Do WE really know what we want them to do?! Do we have a concept of WHY we are doing something, HOW it is being perceived by the dog and WHAT to do if they are indeed confused? In this episode, we delve into how easy it is for there to be breakdown in understanding between what our expectations are and what the dog perceives they should do. Speaker: Dianna L.
