No doubt! That was the "real connection" I was talking about. Unless we make that connection with our dogs, who want a close relationship with us as fellow pack members and their pack leader, they are always going to feel like outcasts in some way. Establishing a connection with that dog is a huge part of getting through to them and gaining their trust and love.
