There is a lot of talk about “balance” in dog training these days. But balance might not be as easy as just mixing equal parts of rewards and punishment. A lesson from high school science class shows that equal numbers do not mean equal value. Sometimes balance means finding the right proportions of what your dog values. Balance means a healthy, happy dog and a good relationship with their owner.

A transcript of the main text of Teaching A Dog Is A Question Of Balance is available at the Life As A Human online magazine website. You can visit Life as a Human to find this and other articles.
