Your dog’s 8 am influences their 8 pm!

Here are elements of your dog’s day that can contribute to their behavior in any given scenario ➡️

- Physical exercise (getting to run and move their body)
- Mental exercise (getting to use their brain, nose, and dog behaviors)
- Rest (yes sorry, you need to exercise your dog but not overdo it and make them over tired 😅)
- Pain management (pain & discomfort can make unwanted behaviors much worse)
- Skills training (if you want a behavior to show up at a certain time, it needs to be trained to reliability first!)

Sniffspot is a great way to meet those first two because it provides your dog a safe off leash space to run, play, sniff, and be a dog. Download the app and use my code jwdogtraining5off for your first visit!!

If your dog’s stomach can’t tolerate traditional chews or they can’t have the extra calories, carrots, heads of lettuce, and zucchinis are great alternative enrichment options.
