Intro

BRAIN
SHAPING
When we look at a dog’s brain, we see that it is made up of concepts, and all the concepts make up their personality as a whole.
How skilled your dog is at any particular concept influences the choices they make in daily life, and all the concepts combined 
make up your dog’s unique personality.
