Consent

Consent means that we give permission for an action to occur. In order for our dogs to give consent they need to 1) have a choice provided, 2) understand what that choice is, and then 3) tell us what choice they have chosen. That is a lot for us humans and dogs to communicate with each other! Consent Training provides opportunities for us practice giving choices and to understand our dog’s cues so that we know when they are consenting.
