👇🏻 5 reasons why I love ‘Chase the Treat’ 👇🏻
✅ Builds their confidence in the salon
When a dog isn’t happy in the salon, or needs some extra time to get used to new surroundings, this is a really good game to get them using the space and putting a positive spin on being at the groomers!
✅ Strengthens the bond between us
Games, cuddles, treats and other positive reinforcements not only create happy memories but can help the dog to remember their groomer in a more positive way and strengthen our bond! 🥰
A happy dog and good relationship makes for less stressful grooming for all parties!
✅ Builds up trust
Unfortunately, some dogs don’t have a good start with grooming and need to be retaught that the salon is a safe and happy place to be. Positive reinforcement exercises can help build back the trust of a dog that may have lost their confidence at the salon!
✅ Teaches them groomers are not scary people!
It’s important to teach new dogs that they may have had a bad experience with a previous groomer, but not all groomers are the same! Some dogs can build up a general distrust of groomers and the salon to the point they see the equipment and try to run 💔 These games help to guide them out of that mindset and toward a more positive attitude with grooming. We want them to be coming in the door with happy faces and waggy tails!
✅ It’s fun for both of us!
They get treats, I get to play with adorable dogs. What’s not to love! 🐾
(Also a very fun game to play with your dog at home or out on a walk - mine loves it!)
