Dear Dog Enthusiast, have you ever considered that you too are a sentient being who sometimes needs accommodations in your environment? Have you ever used context to purposefully cue your own behavior? Have you ever realized that sheer willpower is not going to change you or your dog’s emotional state? Has your need for planning ever hurt or helped your dog training? Have you ever been told by your parents that you cannot have a pony? Regardless of whether you answered “yes” to any of those questions, I 100% guarantee you will like this episode, or I’ll send you your money back.
