I'm proud of Michael, but...
Achieving this level of communication with your dog should be the bare minimum.
Being responsible when giving your dog freedom should be the bare minimum.
Training your dog to know that your word isn't optional should be the bare minimum.
Using tools properly and being open to exploring what you don't know should be the bare minimum.
Giving yourself and your dog the privilege of reaching a deeper bond through exercise, discipline, and finally affection should be the bare minimum.
These days, we are so impressed by the bare minimum because it's so uncommon to see anything more, especially among pet dogs.
But we owe it to our dogs to raise the bar.
When training with Highfives, I always aim to do just that.
