I love this quote. It is so relevant to dog training (and any pet) too. Instead of blaming our pets when they are not learning what we want them to do, we need to ask ourselves as their teacher, ‘What can I do to make my lesson more clear?’ I wrote about this awhile back.
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.
