 Positive training lays the foundation for a lifetime of mutual respect, compassion and good canine citizenship in the world.  It also teaches your dog to think for themselves, not just because you told them to - and helps them settle into their new home with good positive structure, routines and management. By teaching your dog to focus on you and "check in", your dog will look to you for guidance and direction.  Below is a great article by our beloved Dr. Sophia Yin on the value of laying down this foundation with your dog:
