day 4! This is going to be a a game that starts out easy … but you can make it very challenging if your dog id a good problem solver 🧠

Simply take some cardboard boxes and hide a treat under one of them. Let your dog figure out how to get to it!

If your dog can do this - hide a treat under TWO boxes. Then three … four … maybe even five … how many boxes can you stack on top of each other?

Let us know in the comments what your dog’s top number is! Happy problem solving 😀🐾

day 3: The Focus Game!

This game is all about SLOWLY advancing criteria for duration behaviors. Nearly every dog trainer initially attempts to advance them too fast, and the skills fall apart!
So today, we will focus on only making it harder one step at a time - LITERALLY one step at a time 😀

Have your dog heel for a count of 1 - sit for a count of 1 - release and reward.
Next: heel for a count of 2 - sit for a count of 2 - release and reward.
And so on … let’s see how far your team can get!
