Sandra Tellström
"In dog training, we sometimes talk about 'changing emotions' to solve problem behaviors. But sometimes the dog needs to feel angry or sad. And then we should not apply traditional training in an attempt to replace anger or sadness with treats and play. It is important that dogs are allowed to feel, even difficult emotions. "
