The Golden Rule of Dog Training
- Don't ever let any problems get started -
If a problematic response is rewarding unto itself, as many are, the more often
it is repeated, the stronger it will become and the more difficult it will be for you
to get it stopped. Hence, the wise dog handler is ever mindful of the golden rule.
