Sunset Hill Mini & Toy Aussies
We practice what we preach!
It is ALWAYS worth it to invest the time, energy, patience, and resources to train your dog. ALWAYS. Trust us, we've learned that the hard way. Years ago, we had anxious dogs, naughty dogs, and more.....
Then, we learned the hard truth.... it was NOT the dog's fault, it was ours. Dogs are pack animals that follow their leader(s). So, when our dogs were struggling, it was a reflection of the struggles our house was having too.
Even if we "fake it till we make it", the people around us might be fooled, but the dogs are not.
Dogs are mirrors to our insides. OUCH.
​
So we embarked on a NEW journey of learning, growing and building a strong, healthy, confident pack of humans AND dogs!!!
​
STEPS WE TOOK TO CHANGE:
1) We signed up for dog classes
2) We practiced every day- even if it was only 15 min.
3) We took careful note of our own "insides"
and watched our little furry mirrors tell us how we were doing ;)
4) repeat
