More specifically, every adolescent/adult dog with difficult-to-resolve behavior, temperament, or training problem was once a puppy that was literally begging for an education to learn how to...

Eugenics or Dysgenics

Natural Selection is nature's fail-safe method to maintain eugenics (good genes and fine offspring). All dogs are different; individual variation is an inherent characteristic of sexual reproduction.

In the wild, the process of natural selection promotes the survival of the fittest and the elimination of nature's mistakes. Additionally, nature has a wonderful way to promote good breeding —...
