Monday Nov 13, 2023
Natural behavior, resilience, health, and the dog's needs are influencing and even directing the way we teach and care for dogs. This is a good thing and I am happy to be seeing this. The philosophy of SATS has always been one of mutuality: mutual respect, responsibility and benefit. So glad to see a maturation away from tool ideology and toward the documented and studied needs of the dogs.
