Life With Your Dog

After a streak of technical training talk, Panos takes the time to remind us that life with our dogs is not only about training. Take the time to remind yourself what you get from the relationship with your dog and 'EP12- Why we have dogs in our lives' can be a great episode to refer to for a deeper focus on this. Incorporate training to enhance your life with your dog, to allow for biological fulfilment and establish rules and boundaries, just remember to love your dog and create memories based on what it is you love about dogs.
