➡️ As pet parents, it's natural to want our dogs to always be well-behaved and obedient. Although we often put immense pressure on ourselves to achieve “perfection” with our dogs training and behaviour, expecting them behave appropriately, perform tricks and commands flawlessly.
🙅🏼♀️ However, perfection isn't always realistic or attainable. Every dog is unique, with their own personality, temperament, quirks, and learning style, making progression much more valuable than perfection.
📝 Instead of fixating on getting everything right, focus on making small steps of progress, prioritising our dog's well-being and celebrating the small wins along the way.
✅ While we can still aim for high standards in our dog's training, we must also recognise that we can't guarantee their behaviour and not everything goes according to plan. We need remember that they are living creatures, and we need to be adaptable and willing to adjust our training to meet our dog's individual needs.
✨ Remember that each step forward is a step in the right direction. And when we find ourselves striving for perfection, let's take a step back and remind ourselves that perfection is subjective, and progress is the real goal ✨
