I don’t want to rush into it but, eventually, how will I know the dog has understood the pack rule and I can advance to Obedience Training?

Hi Cindy,

The no bark collar worked immediately, in some way, until I got the level adjusted. But by the next two days, it's been so quiet and calm here. I wish I had this knowledge 3 years ago when I first got the dog.

Also, the 'no contact' in establishing pack rule has made our living so much better for me and Brody. Brody seems to understand without me saying anything. And, the difference was almost immediate!

The dog is a lot smarter than we give credit for. We, humans, are a bit slower in learning, especially when we have been misguided. I don't want to rush into it but, eventually, how will I know the dog has understood the pack rule and I can advance to Obedience Training?

Thank you. Ed's work is making sense more and more. It makes me sad and mad at the same time that our understanding of dogs is so wrong in our society.
