This week, Nikki and Britteny discuss (maybe ramble about) the importance of having an off leash bond with your dog. They also make up words like "bondness,”and apparently like the word "enjoyable."

In this episode, Nikki discusses the importance of teaching your dog how to make choices. Allowing your dog to make choices will give you real insight into your dog's personality, needs and wants. Choice training has been around for decades but is becoming much more popular in the dog training world. Are you allowing your dog to make choices on a regular basis?
