If you are like most dog owners, there is no doubt you’re dog feels loved. At the same time, you’re struggling with a lack of control, manners and dealing with their behavioral problems.
Showering your dog with love is wonderful. No need to stop. At the same time what your dog also needs, desperately, is for you to lead. When you avoid establishing structure, rules and accountability, you create an imbalanced dysfunctional relationship. This is the single greatest influence driving behavioral problems. Especially aggression and reactivity.
You always have a choice to do what “is good” for your dog over what just “feels good”. Love and affection does not need to be at odds with responsibility. It just requires the right approach.
