Description

In this episode, I look closely at the growing claim that "dogs don't need control, only connection," and why it can unintentionally leave dogs confused and unprepared for real life.

I talk about why love and relationship cannot replace teaching the actual skills our dogs need to stay safe and thrive in our human world, and why training when done kindly expands your dog's freedom rather than taking anything away.

By the end, you'll understand how connection and training work together, and why your dog deserves both.
