Summary
Does tethering your dog actually help them learn something? This week, Tara and Laura cover the popular training technique of tethering. They deconstruct the method, explain why it isn’t effective, and discuss how it can have a negative impact on our dogs. Many dogs with different behavioral attributes will react to this technique in different ways, but they strive to help owners understand the importance of teaching the art of self-control in a different manner.
