One of the great ironies of dog ownership.
You love your dog to bits, and want them to live the biggest, happiest, most included life.
But that same love causes you to withhold the discipline that enables that big, happy, included life… because it feels bad for you.
And so your dog ends up living a smaller, less fulfilled, and far less included life — not because they’re incapable of doing so, but because you’re incapable of prioritizing what’s best for them long-term over what’s uncomfortable for you short-term.
