The dangers of obsession can expand into every corner in our lives. Obsession can be controllable, however it can also get very far out of control. The activity of dog training can be one of those fields with strong pulls of obsessive behaviours. The trick is to know when to say when and try and find healthy life balance. No one said it would be easy. Obsession is a sneaky and seductive mistress and she wants you to be weak. However it should be noted that obsession has ruined a lot of good dogs...

Language is important all over the world. It can determine acts of love, compassion, offence, hatred, war and entire cultures. It's a point of interest in our own industry as we often find ourselves arguing over terms and definitions. The very language that many of us operate under can be the same that divides us. The reason language is important is that it allows us, if we make the time, to better understand each other. This is fundamentally why people say, 'choose your words wisely'. Further d...
