Training a puppy is like raising a child. Every single interaction is a training opportunity.

All training is negotiation, whether you're training dogs or spouses.

When I'm training a dog, I develop a relationship with that dog. He's my buddy, and I want to make training fun.

You don't train a dog in a training hall, jerking his neck or even giving him food treats. You train him using life rewards.

With every animal, you have to build its confidence around people because people do some crazy and stupid things.

Training a dog, to me, is on a par with learning to dance with my wife or teaching my son to ski. These are fun things we do together. If anyone even talks about dominating the dog or hurting him or fighting him or punishing him, don't go there.
