We often spend too much time commanding our dog to do behaviours. We would do better to reinforce their attention and focus on us. They will naturally check in with you when you are out and about with them. This is a beautiful behaviour that often diminishes because we don’t reinforce them for doing so, so why would they continue? It doesnt have to be food rewards, it could simply be praise verbal, or physical or a toy!
Next time you’re out, try and not ask them to do anything, watch and observe their natural behaviours and simply offer a reward for the behaviours you like. Take note then if they start doing it more frequently… you might find I might be right 🤓
