You guessed it Anna, it is contradictory, but they can't see it. If
redirecting focus of the dog by a word or short tug of the leash at the moment it's needed is "punishment", then we are not communicating in
the same language. Having a calm,happy & centered animal is what we
all strive for & Cesar does it very well.
