Unpopular opinion: Dogs should not be obedient.

That, from me, a behaviourist and trainer.

I wish people would remember that dogs are not robots.

They are not here to do your bidding.

No animal is.

They are not your employees.

Nor are they your belongings.

They are sentient beings.

They are living, breathing creatures with wants, needs, emotions, dislikes and feelings of their own.

You should treat them as your family. When family has a problem, you help them with it.

Family doesn’t have to be obedient.

Family is loved and understood.

Family joins in and does stuff together.

Use games, rewards and Fun Not Fear® to teach them a better way.

Welcome to a much better life with your dog.

In order to reduce reactivity, you need to build value in yourself with your dog! Make it fun and teach cool tricks that your dog enjoys! The more interesting you are, the less your dog will focus on what’s happening around them and therefore will reduce reactive behaviours such as lunging , barking , pulling etc

What is canine enrichment? It is a way to improve your dogs life by meeting their physical, mental and emotional needs, through various activities.
By providing them ways to prevent boredom, build confidence and learn new skills , you can give your dog the best life, the life they deserve! Often satisfying their needs will assist in solving behavioural issues such as anxiety and destruction as well as hyperactivity.
Not sure where to begin?
Shoot me a message today and we can work together to bring appropriate enrichment into your dogs life !

Practising some calm behaviour outside , just watching the world go by. It’s not easy when there are so many triggers for reactivity!

This is gonna be a bit of a chore to clean up, but they had the best time ripping it apart! Dogs love to tear things up … it’s a natural behaviour! Give them the chance sometimes!

Come on out and try this with your pup!!!

Mental stimulation: Dogs love using their noses. It taps into their natural instincts and keeps their minds sharp, kind of like a puzzle for us humans. It helps prevent boredom, especially for high-energy dogs.
