Good training sessions aren't long or intense.
They're short, focused, and built around one clear skill at a time. When teaching something new, we lower distractions and make it easy for the dog to succeed.
When we overdo it, dogs start to lose focus.
Frustration builds. Responses get slower. Mistakes increase. At that point, we're no longer building understanding - we're practicing confusion.
Ending the session while your dog is still successful matters.
When sessions consistently end on a win, your dog associates training with clarity and success - and they're far more likely to engage willingly the next time.
Short. Clear. Positive.
