So my girl Tao, seems to enjoy bringing me presents. Yesterday, while I was working on writing a psychology paper, she brought me a pencil. Idk where she found it. But it did come in handy. Lol.
I encourage this sorta of behavior. Because it's giving them a job. I feel it is them showing me what they enjoy and are capable of. Taos passion, she brings me things.
From a trainer perspective that means I am able to sculpt this behavior, through training, which enables her to help assist me in service work. Like picking things up if they get dropped, seek and find missing items and more. Which once she's done with scent training (I recently started ) along with object identifying. I'll pair all these skills together. Who knows where that will take her. The sky's the limit.
Remember. Keep your dogs enriched through thinking, problem solving and play. Remember embrace the things you may think are not ideal sometimes it's a blessing and can transform them into something amazing.
Enjoy your day my friends!!
