This might be tough to hear, but your dog is a reflection of your training—whether you know it or not.
Every time you interact with your dog, you are training them. When you give them a treat for sitting, you're teaching them. When you let them jump on you to get attention, you're also teaching them.
Every single decision you make is either helping you raise the dog you want, or accidentally training them to "misbehave." Because you are encouraging what you permit.
So, how can we be more intentional? Start small. The next time your dog does something you don't like, pause and ask yourself: "What is the reaction I want to foster? What can I do differently this time?"
This isn't about guilt; it's about empowerment. By being more intentional, you have the power to raise the dog you've always wanted.
