Does your dog LOVE running out the door to play outside in the spring?
GREAT opportunity to practice sitting until released with a cue.
IF Fido sits until released THEN it’s time to play outside. IF Fido gets up early, that opportunity is gone.
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.
