Because “leave it,” “place,” boundary work etc aren’t just party tricks. They’re life skills for dogs. 🐾
✅ Calmer minds- Learning to pause instead of react helps dogs settle, even in exciting or stressful situations.
✅ Better decision-making: Impulse control teaches dogs they have a choice. They don’t have to sn**ch, chase, bark, or bolt.
✅ Safety first- A solid “leave it” can stop them grabbing dangerous food or chasing wildlife into traffic.
✅ Respect for boundaries- Not rushing out of door ways has so many benifits, including not running out if the door if you don’t want them too!
✅Learning to stay still- Place work isn’t about “being mean”- it’s about giving dogs clear, safe expectations, and reducing chaos.
✅ Confidence building- Rules and structure help anxious or overexcited dogs feel more secure. They know what’s expected, so they can relax.
✅ Stronger bond- Working together on this stuff builds trust and communication. You become a team.
Impulse control is about teaching them how to think, choose, and cope with the big, distracting world.
