This is valuable in recalls, in tough shaping projects, and even in sport training. Patreon: www.patreon.com/cogdogradio Cog Dog Classroom: cog-dog-classroom.teachable.com/

Sarah addresses the viral meme with the quote, “Holding dogs accountable is uncomfortable. But having dogs fail because you won’t teach, confront, or correct is unacceptable.”--Dave Kroyer.
