That is definitely one positive thing we took away from his show.
Yes I agree with part of that but over working a dog and not enough sleep can stress them out and make them wild as well. It is a fine line to balance.
Also an overtired dog does not learn as fast nor retain the info sent or to be learned as well. I have seen him push a dog to far passed tired on his shows and the dog is really not learning one thing. Again it is a fine line and not easy to catch but dogs do need around 17 hours a day sleep to be ok.
