I’m a fan of giving dogs choice and have previously not quite understood nor agreed with people who say their dogs can’t handle choices.
Reading this article, I understand a little better – or to be more accurate, I have a better grasp of the concept and vocabulary of choice, and where it is appropriate.
I can now see I don’t always give my dog a choice, but I haven’t really been able to articulate it as it was more of a gut feel where I do or don’t. In any case, this is a really thought provoking article and I’ll think more clearly about choice in the future.
