| Mick, I wish this was not only required reading, but also accompanied by a mandatory comprehension test. Really, REALLY helpful!
I'll bet the "learned helplessness" paragraph is where a lot of people find themselves and their dogs. That's an unhappy place to be, huh? Confusion is paramount to worry and very unfair to the dog, not to mention it's potential for creating problems further on down the line.
It's a privilege for me to read your thoughts and I'd like to thank you for them! ;) |
