As dog parents, it's important that we learn to be trustworthy. If our dogs don’t trust us to keep them safe or can’t count on us to meet their needs reliably, then they will develop strategies to do this on their own terms. But how do we become trustworthy partners for our dogs? A trustworthy partner is someone you can rely on. Not only to meet your needs, but also someone who knows you and understands you, and is willing to find creative solutions when challenges arise.
