Relationship

Good things. All good things. Well, providing you are doing it right.

Some dogs can be fairly easy to train and some dogs can cause you heartache. But with all dogs there will be challenging times. When we approach these challenges with positivity, patience, and encouragement, wonderful things can happen.

Lincoln, My Doberman, was an absolute mess when I first rescued him. We had many challenging days with his reactivity to anything moving. There were days I was not sure we would get through it, but I kept going, I refused to give up on him, I saw so much potential in him that I knew was dying to make its way to the surface.

And I am so glad that I did because the bond we have now is unbreakable. The affection we have for each other has grown stronger through those challenges we faced together-almost as if we are war buddies that have gone through battles that only WE can understand. (If you have/had a reactive dog, you understand this metaphor all too well!)

His respect for me has grown and mine for him. Training has provided us with a way to fully understand each other.

Tell me how training your dog has helped your relationship…
