As we approach the season for bad weather days. Some dogs have many stuffed toys, chew bones, snuffy mats and more. That is great when they enjoy them, but they too can become bored.
I know often when a client's dog is struggling on walks, because the dog becomes reactive, as part of the behavior modification plan, I will request to shorten walks. Pushing a dog into a trigger is not benefitting the dog or the client. A dog that is struggling needs understanding.
Indoor activities, gets you and your dog moving indoors. The more you do with your dog this helps to create a bond.
I have online consultations available as a service you can find on www.meccacurtice.com
Please allow 24 hours for me to set up. I do check my email daily.
If your dog doesn't play with toys, I still have an idea to help you.
I've seen boxes of toys for dogs that are no longer enjoyed. But a dog may decide to shred paper or destroy a box. The dog is actually doing an activity that fulfills their needs. The 21st century dog is learning every day 24/7/365 days a year.
I also offer an Initial Consultation in your home a full 90 minutes go to www.meccacurtice.com
The holiday seasons will soon be here, if you need to talk about that. Are you prepared to help your dog during the holidays?
Until next time!
