This best piece of advice I ever heard was a Sarah Heath showing a picture of a child and a young dog. She pointed to the child and said 'this one is learning to be calm and well behaved' she then pointed to the dog and said 'and this one is learning to be calm and well behaved and if you leave them alone together for any time at all neither of them can continue to learn.'
