The value of doing nothing is very important. It gives your dogs a chance to relax in situations that require good behavior. By setting a good example you can teach your dog how to relax comfortably both at home and outside of the home. Its important not only for us to take time to rest but for our dogs too. If we continuously keep them busy, this can lead to frustration and the incapability to mentally switch off.

There is nothing more satisfying than a dog with a good recall. However many owners struggle with this simple exercise. Dogs get labeled as having no ears or simply being stubborn.

The importance of a good recall is to manage your dogs behavior in public spaces and to ensure their safety.

The reason it is so hard is because we are doing it wrong. We are dumping our dogs into high distracting environments and expecting them to listen first time round. High distraction environments can flood your dog with anxiety or over arousal which will be nearly impossible to compete against.

Building a good recall comes by setting your dog up for success, by playing games to keep the dog wanting more as well as building trust.

If you recall your dog, just to clip on the leash and break the fun to go home, your dog might be more reluctant to come back to you the next time.

Rewarding any form of recall is important, even if your dog deviated slightly to smell a nearby leaf or came troddling back slowly.

Many people do not understand the true concept of what socialization is. It not just as simple as your dogs ability to play with other dogs. True socialization is teaching your puppy to accept everything in their natural environment such as other people, various types of animals, loud noises and the everyday happenings in the human world. True socialization is the ability to remain calm in public settings without the need to engage or play. Often over enthusiastic dogs get overlooked when in reality they have no self - control and do not know how to regulate their behavior in a social scene.

Positive interactions are very important from a young age, but learning how to be calm is a vital skill.
