it deserves a re-post! :)

This might surprise you, but I think teaching a dog to sit is one of the the skills your dog really doesn't need. Now hold on, hear me out before you hate me. It might be convenient but it's not essential. It's not a life or death skill, like leave it or recall might be. And in most contexts when owners tend to use sit, we could easily swap out stand instead.

Sit is such an overused, under-rewarded skill. People ask their dog to sit, for no real reason, far too often. Why does your dog need to sit to get a treat? Do you perform a "trick" every time you go to the cookie jar for a snack or every time before your partner shows you affection? Read more in this week's post.

When we punish dogs for growling, even if they’re growling at our child, we aren’t helping them feel better about whatever it is that feels threatening to them. Instead, we are teaching them to stop letting us know when they feel unsafe.

What results instead is a dog who stops giving us warning signs and “bites out of the blue.”
And, that’s how *we* create dangerous dogs. Better to have a dog growl and tell me they’re upset (so we have a chance to intervene and help them) than a dog who just bites without any warning signs.

Mental stimulation for dogs is important to keep them happy and engaged at all ages, and it's simpler than you might think.
