Trainer Jen here - to let you in on a little dog training secret.
Whether you sent your dog off to a board & train program and you received back a ‘trained dog’… or you just finished up going through training classes where you trained your dog yourself, your dog isn’t trained.
Let me say that again.
Your dog isn’t trained.
Wait. What?????
That’s right. If your dog has just recently finished up a training program, your dog is not yet actually ‘trained.’
Instead, your dog has the foundation of training. The beginnings of training. The tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
