Are you frequently yelling in frustration at your dog because he runs away from you, doesn’t listen to you and doesn’t come when called.

Throughout your day are you saying ‘NO’ or ‘STOP’ as he disobeys and ignores you?

Instead, would you like to brag to friends and family about how well your dog listens to you, wouldn’t it feel better to say ‘YES’ to your dog ‘that’s exactly what I want’ as you go about your day?
