Agreed! And I like their name 😂
One of the most underrated tools in dog training isn’t actually training, it’s management.
This baby gate in front of a door is a simple example of that.
A lot of people focus so much on teaching behaviors that they forget to set their dogs up for success in the first place. If your dog likes to rush the door when guests arrive, jump on visitors, or bolt outside the second the door opens, management can make a huge difference.
A gate creates a physical barrier that prevents your dog from practicing the behaviors you’re trying to change. Every time a dog rehearses a behavior, that behavior becomes more ingrained. Management helps break that cycle while you work on training.
Management isn’t a shortcut or a failure. It’s a legitimate training tool.
Good training and good management go hand in hand. One doesn’t replace the other.
