- E323- Why Asking Your Dog to "SIT" Could Be DESTROYING Your Relationship
You think your dog knows how to sit... but does it REALLY?
One of the biggest mistakes dog owners make is assuming their dog understands a command when they're actually just following a treat, hand movement, or body language.
This misunderstanding creates unrealistic expectations, frustration, and ultimately damages the relationship between you and your dog.
In this episode of the No Bad Dogs Podcast, I break down the uncomfortable truth about obedience training, why so many owners are unknowingly setting their dogs up for failure, and how to build real communication, trust, and understanding with your dog.
