When a dog’s communication attempts are consistently ignored — or...

Energy in Dog Training and Why It Matters

Energy is the language of life, but it’s one of the most neglected ingredients in dog training and behavior. Ignoring the energetic piece of the behavioral puzzle can mean more stress, strain, and struggle on both ends of the leash.
