When I first started reading the book, I hated what he was saying because it seems like he says to not give any affection to our little ones. Also, what he was saying almost made it feel like you are not suppose to have fun with a dog. My favorite part of having a dog is the affection and how her tail wags when I get home. When I kept reading I realized that is not what he is saying. Later he explains that people give affection at the wrong time. Like chattiesmom said, read the whole thing and only follow the parts you think will benefit you.
ps his advice on taking walks is really working for us too. Now Rosie doesn't demand our attention all the time and I can actually come on YT without her barking at me to play.
