You donβt always need to allocate time to βtrainβ your dog.
It just requires shifting your mindset and understanding that most dogs are happy to accompany you on any outing which can therefore lead to a training session.
Exposure builds confidence, my two at 11pm last night in a very busy town centre full of drunks. We had to pick up my other half from a Christmas party, so parked further out and walked in and worked on neutrality and steadiness. Itβs not their first time doing this but they certainly donβt do it regularly. π²
Previously more interested in the environment and running around, in his own head and chasing prey. Iβm not asking for heel work or engagement here but thereβs a strong positive reinforcement history which means heβs offering it because he wants to. I hold all the keys to his heart, engagement and having those ears for listening and not decoration gets rewarded and in Murphyβs case he is always eager to please as he knows that means treats and or toys. πΎ #dogwalk #dogwalker #dogworcester ###dogsofworcester #furbaby #furryfriend #dogsofinstagram #dogslife #doglover #dogoftheday #dogwalking #dog #labrador #labsofinstagram #greatdane #cockapoo #spanielsofinstagram #spaniel #spaniellove #sh*tzu #puppy #goldenretriever #goldenretrieversofinstagram #dalmatian #dalmatiansofinstagram #fourpaws #wetnose
