Maybe youre better off than most. Better off than me, Ill admit. Maybe your dog listens to you all the time, the first time you ask for something. No? Alright, because its something you can work on. Even on a holiday (its pretty easy to get started). Take a quick break - halftime, a commercial break during the National Dog Show, or just a moment to let that turkey settle (honestly, are you really going to walk it off?!), and read this short article on why dogs dont listen to their owners. Its written by your favorite trainer! (Thats me, right?)
