Accidentally headed in the direction of home, instead of Cam's at drop off. So he's hanging out with me and the girls this afternoon while I do some yard work. He doesn't seem to mind one bit 😊

Safety always wins

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1De2M6UUHo/

In Treat/Retreat, after a dog comes forward and takes a treat, the next treat is tossed past them, back into their safe zone. Then another one or two land further still, into the Safer Zone, the area behind the dog where there is nothing alarming, where they can simply be undisturbed for a moment before choosing whether to return.

This surprises people sometimes. Things were going well. Why send the dog away?

Because being sent back to genuine safety after each approach teaches the dog something important: coming close is a choice they can make and then unmake. They can approach, eat, turn away, and return to where they feel comfortable, and then come back again when they are ready. The retreat is not a pause between repetitions. It is half the lesson.

Learn how to take this simple concept and build - learn how to help shy and fearful dogs in a way that is not only meaningful to the owners, but to the dog.

Treat/Retreat Certification is on sale now for the month of May - your chance to save over 30% on this life changing course.
