I wrote about Chirag Patel, as a rising star in the dog training world in July of 2018 (or, a million years ago, in the Before Times), and am loving the opportunity to write about him again. What he calls “The Bucket Game” has gotten a lot of attention lately, as well it should. I’m […]

Do you live with a dog on a mission to find and consume anything even remotely edible, whether at home or on walks? What can you do if this sounds all too familiar to you?
