    You can also easily get the first 3 by getting arrested. I don’t see people lining up for it.

    The two most important things any dog must learn for their safety and mine is come and leave it.

    After that things are optional and fun depending on how far you want to go with training but those two are non negotiable in my world.

    He has the need, the need for speed. He has so much joy in his heart only zoomies can release it and sometimes the zoomies take you places you shouldn’t go and you don’t know how to get back.

    My dog loves to go out and chase the outdoor cats but seeing the door open isn’t a cue for him to go out but seeing me grab the leash. If we’re going outside leashless it means we aren’t taking him for a walk.

      My dog is direct opposite:

      • he likes to chase indoor cats, have no interest or rather feared of outdoor ones (for a good reason)

      • cue to go out is usually me putting on shoes, but if he sees a leash - he will refuse to cooperate and start pretending that he doesn’t want to walk until I snap it to the collar.

      Probably because I often walk with him without leash, but only right behind our house, there are almost no people walking there, except for other dog owners.

    Our dog used to push the door open and then run around the neighborhood for like, a half hour or so, then show back up on the porch wanting in

    imagine making sure you can provide your dog with sufficient exercise and stimulation before taking them into your life

      Yeah, we have a situation where we can keep our dog exercised, has no urge to escape generally, maybe going out into the drive way but return shortly after
