3 Simple Exercises You Need To Do With Your Dog

Send us Fan Mail

These are things we do with client dogs right off the bat. Sometimes we forget that it's not just about teaching your dog words or commands. It's about behavior. It's about teaching your dog how to slow down, how to process, how to prioritize you, how to resist impulses, even if those impulses are out of fear, nervousness, anxiety, or extreme over stimulation.

All dogs learn automatic kennel manners (going in and out-kennel drills)

All dogs learn the non-verbal sit (and rehearse it in busy environments)-MY FAV!

All dogs learn to go in and out of the car upon invite and hold a down.

The first 2 of these 3 are super super easy, and EVERYONE should do these today! They are so simple and the return on investment is so worth it. It sometimes eludes us that these simple moments make up our whole day and dictate our dog's state of mind. Taking a few minutes to do a handful of reps can be so impactful rather than just addressing it the one or two times you need to that day.

Instead of only working on car stuff when you are actually leaving, do it when you have nowhere to be! Take 10 or 15 minutes and go do 20 or 30 reps of something simple that involves little to no commands and just literally shows your dog a different way to exist and go through the world.

Once they see and do a different thing, they might just start doing it on their own, especially with the proper feedback and guidance from you.
