My reminder to you…help your pet to succeed by looking for those teachable moments to tell him/her GOOD!. If your pet is not behaving in a way that you like, it is not because he is trying to be bad or obstinate, he/she simply has a skill deficit. Teach him what he needs to know in a positive way and watch how eager he is to practice what he has learned.
