And while off-leash interaction IS important, the reality is that 90 percent of the time your dog will be seeing and/or greeting other dogs while ON … Read more

Getting a rock-solid ‘stay’ can be one of the hardest things you will ever train your dog in. What many people find is that as long as they are standing by the dog, treats in hand, she will stay.
