Dog and toddler outside on autumn day.

Living with a dog can sometimes feel like you’re raising a child, but one who doesn’t really grow up. After all, our pups depend on us for an awful lot. We provide them with food, water, and shelter, and they look to us for attention and affection. 

Sometimes, it’s easy to over-complicate things when it comes to dogs, perhaps overthinking training, when it helps to keep things simple – though some of the best dog treats always go down well! This is why Carolyn Martell, an expert trainer and the founder of Good Dog Training, recommends reframing things as though your dog is a toddler in a new Instagram post – and we think she’s onto something.
