Control is not obedience
99 videos indexed under this topic. Topic tags help you find relevant sessions; they do not mean the entire recording teaches this one idea.
A dog you can hold on a leash is under control and under no obedience at all - what you actually want is a dog who was given a real choice and took the lawful one, which means you have to arrange the choice and then say nothing.
Concept answer prepared for Kelton’s review.
