Universally Lovable

Charlie's week was another reinforcement week for his training. Swap week was an important milestone for him and for learning the concept of universal correction, a term that his trainer coined to express the need for the dogs to accept correction and handling from multiple parties. When a family adopts one of our dogs, they don't expect the dog to be programmed to listen to just one person. So this past week, they worked on getting Charlie getting to a manageable state of manners and allowing others to test his behavior outside of the scope of his primary team’s supervision.
