Having a dog

Before getting a dog, most of us dream of all the fun activities we’ll do with our new dog.
We assume they will behave well right off the bat and that we’ll be able to take them with us everywhere.
That our dog will happily listen to all of our commands… And that they will be an active part of every moment of our lives.
But we often ditch all those dreams when problems show up
Your dog doesn’t come when you call
Your dog gets “Selective Hearing.” Only listening when there are no distractions
Your dog pulls on the leash like crazy
Your dog tries to escape when you open the door
Your dog jumps on people as they enter the door
Your dog gets aggressive, growls, and barks at other dogs, people, and cars
Some people end up settling for a dog that's just "good enough."
You would love to be outdoors, hiking, or on a boat with your dog off-leash… But would settle for just playing in the backyard.
You would love to go to outdoor places like breweries, coffee shops, backyard parties with your dog…… But would settle for daily walks
You would love your dog to just chill out when people come over…But would settle for having to your dog in another room.
