Can dogs be willful? Can they actively choose to disobey, while understanding what you want? Yes they can. Now what?

Time. Priorities. Dog welfare. Human welfare. Guilt. Dog trainers on social media seem out of touch with real world people and their priorities. Are we even doing our job if we don't prioritize our human clients as much as their animals? Those are things I covered here.

No fetch? Chase but no return? No tug? Tugs but doesn't let go? Understand what motivates your dog makes training and problem-solving a lot easier. Taken further, it will set how you train each individual dog, which may be radically different than how you approached similar issues with the last dog. By comparing my Border Collie Ice and my Belgian Xen, both showing similar issues but with very different resolutions, I hope to illustrate these points in this live.

About that reactivity… is a given dog reactive, or simply bored? Lacking structure? Doesn't know what to do in a given circumstance? There are foundation skills that all dogs should have, and they are particularly valuable if the dog should exhibit reactive tendencies here and there. The ability to get your dog's attention is a critical foundation skill. If you can't get your dog's attention in a given environment, you probably should not be there.
