Something I don’t see people doing enough with their dogs- ✨nothing✨
I get it, our lives are busy and our dogs have physical needs to be met! A walk will do the trick, right? But does your dog also struggle to “turn off”? Do they whine and pace while indoors? Or can’t settle in new places? Odds are- your dog could use a whole lot more of doing nothing!
Doing nothing, doesn’t have to be as boring as it sounds. Bring a blanket to the park, a drink and snacks, and just watch! Doing more of this will also serve as opportunities to work on socialization with your puppy or new rescue, or even counter conditioning through thresholds for your reactive dog! Every dog can benefit from doing nothing.
Looking for opportunities to do this as a group? DM me for information on our Coexist Club!🫶🏼
When I tell people that majority of problems with their dog can be solved by using a leash🤭
🔆 Dog not responding to their recall… use a leash!
🔆 Dog jumping on guests in the home… use a leash!
🔆 Dog nipping or mouthing you… use a leash!
🔆 Dog not holding a command… use a leash!
🔆 Dog is counter surfing… use a leash!
The answer isn’t always some extensive training plan, it can sometimes be as simple as just using your leash!
What other ways can you think of where the answer might just be… using your leash?
