By understanding Dog Psychology, Dog Training becomes the easy part. 

Being educated in Dog Psychology first allows us to understand who the dog is and what they need to become balanced.  A dog who is in the follower position, receiving sufficient mental and physical exercise and receiving clear rules, boundaries and limitations is the easiest dog to train.
