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.

If your dog or puppy experiences approach avoidance conflict, she may be curious but afraid at the same time. It is a stressful place to be.
