Make it Fun
Attitude is everything if we are to be motivated.
Reward yourself and your Dog.
Rewarding is one of the easiest and at the same the most powerful ways to stay motivated. Identifying ways to make it fun will help you enjoy it even more.
When training your dog – remember
- Break up the training into different exercises and make it fun
- Don’t go out with your dog and do the same old thing every day, you and the dog will get bored real quick
- Set small achievable goals each day
- If the dog ‘doesn’t get it’ go back to basics and how the exercise was first taught
- And always remember to never lose your temper if something isn’t working. 9 times out of 10 it is our fault not the dogs
- PRAISE , PLAY AND REWARD
” If you love dogs like we do you will figure out that dog training is a journey. A good trainer/handler will have an open mind and will learn from watching others and sharing with others”
