In the wild, dogs live in dens and have their own way of going about things. But if you want your dog to live in your home with you, you must teach her the human way of living. Specifically, you have to teach your dog to appropriately redirect her normal and natural behaviors. Failing to learn where to relieve herself, what to chew, when to bark, when to jump up, and where to dig are the top reasons the relationship fails and people give up their dogs. Luckily, these techniques are so simple to teach that you and your dog are all but guaranteed to have a long and happy life together.
