Train While You Play!

Many dog owners often find themselves wondering how to obtain a well-trained canine companion. The reality is that a trained dog possesses numerous skills that enable them to accompany their owners to a variety of places, enriching both their lives and those of their owners.
As a trainer who prioritizes fostering a positive relationship with my dogs, it's crucial to me that I don't resort to stress-inducing or coercive methods to elicit desired behaviors. Furthermore, I prefer not to rely solely on carrying treats wherever I go. Instead, I've discovered the joy of engaging my dogs in play - an activity that they naturally love! After all, what young dog doesn't relish the opportunity to play?
By incorporating playful interactions into our training sessions, I've found that my dogs become eager participants, eagerly learning and eagerly anticipating our next bonding session. This approach not only strengthens our bond but also cultivates a sense of joy and enthusiasm in both myself and my furry companions.
Yes, you can teach an old dog to play also with patience, see my video here: • Teaching an Adult dog ...

Hi Staci, I knew someone would ask about this, glad you did! The truth is all dogs are different in their motivation, patience, and agreeableness. Some dogs need more feedback to be successful. While my big male is 4 years old and did not need me to say it a few times, I wanted to set my very competitive female German Shepherd up for success. She loves toys and this distraction was hard for her. She was successful because I reminded her what I wanted from her. After I practice this game for a few weeks, I will only need to say it once for her. GREAT QUESTION!
