We have to ensure the 5 bare necessities every single day (enough & high quality food, 24/7 fresh water, poo & wee-wee, social contact, mental stimulation).
For the physical & mental health and a self-confident dog it is essential to stimulate the natural curiosity and to have choices.
"The only way to conquer fear is having choices."
