Sir Michael really clearly explained how to play with my dog in a fulfiiling way, as well as showed the effect of correctly implementing play rules on the dog’s obedience to my recall. At present, the video has indeed enlightened me on the correct way of playing with my dog. Thanks to Messrs Frawley and Ellis.
