Sometimes we can get so focused on what we're teaching our dogs that we forget something important - Training should be enjoyable.
Not just for our dogs, but for us too.
Play can be a fantastic way to keep training engaging and rewarding. A quick game of tug, a chase, or a playful interaction can help keep dogs motivated and excited to learn.
It also helps build something just as important as the behaviour itself:
Your relationship.
Because training isn't just about teaching cues. It's about creating positive experiences together, building trust, and helping your dog see you as part of the fun.
When training feels enjoyable, dogs are often more engaged, more enthusiastic, and more willing to take part.
And honestly, we're much more likely to stick with it too.
