Let’s refocus how we look at dog training.
Instead of seeing dog training (parrot training, and training any animal) as how we GET our pet TO DO something….
Let’s practice seeing training as a way of BUILDING communication,
collaboration, trust and enjoyment WITH our pet.
When we do that…
Our pet will be INSPIRED to WANT TO learn what we are teaching
We will be INSPIRED by seeing our pet ENGAGED
TOGETHER we will each get needs and wants met,
we will be fulfilled.

Dog sniffing walks are decompressing walks that promote relaxation and engagement. There are so many benefits to incorporating these into your dog’s enrichment.
This is the story of one family, and how I taught them to use a success station as a management tool for creating safety between their toddler and their family dogs. In this case, their success stations was using dog gates when needed. It is one of numerous strategies we are putting into place to lower stress, increase quality of life, and strengthen relationships. In their example, I share why it is important to teach your dog a positive association with management.
