Training for your dog comes in a variety of forms, and one that is often overlooked is management. Creating an environment where your dog is more likely to make desirable choices and is prevented from making less desirable choices is both management and training. In this episode, Tina Spring and Julie Fudge Smith talk about how management can be as simple as making sure Fido goes up the stairs the same way every time, or crating Fifi before workmen come to the house so she doesn’t jump on them, and so much more!
