We avoid force, correction tools, outdated dominance approaches, and other methods deemed unethical by modern dog trainers. Force or intimidation is unnecessary, as reward-based training has been proven effective for teaching necessary skills and resolvingContinue readingFAQ

One of the ways to make your active fog to get interested in you when outside: playing tug or doing other fun things that make your dog want to interact with you. Play-motivated dogs can be trained outside with short session of tug being their reward (instead of treats). Fir instance, when training recall (use longline for that). I already miss those summer camping adventures. This year was a bit crazy and we didn’t do much! Let’s hope next year will be better 🚵‍♂️🐕🏕️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CzuQYBxPh8R/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CzaDdjaJ0s0/ 🐥 Food enrichment for the bird: eating lunch with us, has his own plate 🍱 𝙵𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚎𝚗𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝
