Let’s say your New Year resolution is to develop a better relationship with you and your dog. Things are good. You’ve got the whole potty trained thing down and most of the time you can keep them off the furniture but you really want a relationship with your dog that exceeds the basics. Lucky for you, Jodi has some great ideas on Dog Blessed this week! Brought to you by Must Love Dogs and Clock’s Timeless Pets.
Think about it like this. If you are trying to learn something and it’s not quite sinking in…..if the person trying to teach you keeps doing the same stuff over and over and over and over again….are you getting anywhere? Why would you assume your dog is? The idea of teaching anything to any creature that has the capacity to learn is to engage and hold their interest. Make what’s being taught something rewarding and fun as opposed to repetitious and rigid. Think back to when you were young and you were not “getting it”? Along came someone who took a different route to show you how things are done, and just like that….you caught on! Balance is key, and as you’ll learn this week, keeping training fun is rewarding for both you and your dog. You’ll even find a handy flyer here to show you some up coming training opportunities Jodi has for ya if you need a hand or would prefer a group setting.
