Raddings explained her process for training dogs, encouraging good behavior, and what humans need to do in the process.
All my training is based on a positive food reward system which is one of the reasons the dogs love it so much …The best advice I’ve got is being a positive confident person with them. They know when you’re nervous. If they were dumb we couldn’t train them to do all the things they do. They know.
