In this episode we talk about one of the FASTEST WAYS to get your dog to truly TRUST YOUR LEADERSHIP.  If we neglect this area when connecting with our dogs we are MISSING A HUGE component that many DOG TRAINERS DON'T TALK ABOUT.  Anything you are doing with your dog will be better and more effective when you understand how they are interpreting your energy. Learning how to do this well will not only change the game for your dog, it will CHANGE THE GAME for yourself and all the animals around you. . . including OTHER HUMANS:-)
