That’s the question you probably ask whenever your dog misbehaves. These are the moments, for example, when your dog suddenly yanks on the leash or lunges at other animals. Or when you catch them chewing furniture.
Moments like these are frustrating, to be sure. But the trouble goes even deeper than that. For when your dog misbehaves, it also strains the loving relationship you have with them. You still love your dog, yet it’s harder now. If you’re like most dog owners, you’re not going to sit by and pray that your dog’s behavioural issues go away. No, you’re going to get up and take action.
So what do you do? You try every solution that seems like it could make a difference. No matter how weird. And no matter how absurd. Sound familiar? If so, you’ve probably tried everything too. Yet none of it’s worked, has it? Your dog still misbehaves and you still feel frustrated.
