If you find the training boring, your dog probably does too!
Something I spoke with my puppy class students about last week was not just drilling the same thing over and over. Keep it interesting, mix it up. Add distractions, make the exercise challenging in different ways.
And then over the weekend I went to a Scentwork seminar with Mim and we were given an action to perform whilst the dogs worked. So whilst Mim was busy searching, I had to cry like a baby. It’s a distraction, I don’t normally make noise whilst he works. He did it. And that has further helped distraction proof our training.
So don’t be afraid to be silly whilst distraction proofing your training!

Are you missing using one of the biggest rewards out there for your dog? 👇🏼
Using food and toys in training is great 👍
But it’s not always what your dog actually wants and in that case, was that piece of chicken even a reward at all??
Here’s some examples of using FREEDOM and the ENVIRONMENT as a reward…
- your dog waits at the car door to get out, the getting out is the reward
- your dog checks in with you or walks by your side for a couple steps. You give them the ok to go off and sniff what they want.
- and here’s one my reliable recall students use all the time, your dog comes when you call. You give them the ok to go back to the environment.
Are you using the environment to reward your dog?
And yes, damn it was windy at the top of the hill today!
