Beyond "Obedience": What's the ONE Thing You Wish Your Dog Understood?

Hey everyone,

I see so many of you in here working hard on being good dog owners.

Sometimes, when we're focused on "obedience," it feels like we're just managing behaviors, or even worse, constantly correcting our dogs. It can feel like a power struggle, right? I know I’ve been there.

Instead of just getting our dogs to "do what we say," what if we shifted our focus to something more powerful: understanding? When we build a stronger bond and truly understand why our dogs do what they do, and how to help them, the "obedience" often falls into place much more naturally.

This week, I want to hear from you. Let's get a conversation going.

What's ONE thing you wish your dog understood better?

It could be anything—from the big stuff to the small, funny things.

* Maybe it's ‘not to jump on furniture’

* Maybe it's ‘how to eat slowly’

* Or maybe it's just ‘socks are not toys’

Let's create a space to share our frustrations and our hopes, and maybe we can all learn something new from each other's experiences.

I'll start: I wish my dog, Eli, truly understood that visitors aren't here only for him. 😂

Looking forward to reading all

of your comments!
