Letting Your Dog Be a Dog

Sometimes its necessary to just let you dog do what they naturally want to do, even if you may see it as being “naughty”.  Heather explains when some “negative” behaviors can actually reinforce some intrinsic rewards and strengthen your social bond with them. Dogs shredding an item with their teeth, or dogs consistently exploring areas you want them to avoid may be problematic but there is also a proper balance. Find those pockets that allow your dog to be themselves as nature intended.
