There is no bad dog

only dogs that sometimes make bad choices.

“There is no bad dog. There is behavior that we don't understand but the dog’s behavior is 100% appropriate based on its experience in that moment.” Matt Beisner

Emma and I watched the Netflix documentary ‘Inside the Mind of a Dog’. She wanted me to keep this quote in mind for the next time we hear her barking at 2 am in an otherwise silent house. Also, she would like to remind me that, based on her lived experience, it was 100% appropriate for her to ignore recall and run off with that deer leg she found in the woods yesterday.
