A dog’s basic needs include: a healthy diet, daily exercise and mental stimulation as well as consistent positive leadership. We all love our dogs but love is simply not enough for a strong human canine bond. Almost all undesirable dog behaviours can be directly attributed to a lack of one or more of these basic needs.

By meeting their needs, our dogs achieve ‘Doggy Zen’ and exhibit confidence and self control – while defaulting to desirable behaviours instead of unwanted ones. By not meeting these needs, we can see unwanted behaviours surface such as dog-dog aggression, dog-human aggression, canine fear and fear aggression, aggressive posturing, and canine leash aggression and frustration.
