Hi Friends,

Here are some explanations of what we mean by the term "leadership," or "be a leader for your dogs." I know that I want dog owners to be benevolent leaders. So Let's think about the actual relationship between owner and dog, and strive to work to think of of dog and owner as a team as we build a working partnership. That's what I mean when I speak of a Non-Confrontational Program.
