“Never, during the Whiplash Turn game, use the leash to make the puppy turn to you. Do not take his collar to turn his head to you either. Let the puppy figure it out. Let him learn that his behavior causes new opportunities to arise.

― Leslie McDevitt, Control Unleashed: The Puppy Program

“Don’t see Control and Management as avoiding the problem, see it as stopping the problem from occurring.”
