Consistency beats intensity 🐾

Training isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being consistent.

-Small sessions
-Clear boundaries
-Consistent commands
-The same expectations
Every day 🔑

Dogs don’t learn because you had the ‘perfect’ day, they learn because you show them the same expectations over and over.

Progress is built one consistent day at a time dog 🐕

Mako’s introduction to the dopamine box-

Many of our dogs were bred to work. Whether it was tracking, hunting, retrieving, herding or searching, they weren’t designed to just walk, they were bred to use their brains and noses.

A dopamine box is a simple enrichment activity that taps into those natural instincts. By hiding treats amongst cardboard boxes, paper, towels, toilet roll tubes or other safe materials, you’re giving your dog a chance to do what they were born to do: search, investigate and problem-solve.

The benefits include:
-Fulfils natural foraging and scenting instincts.
-Provides meaningful mental stimulation.
-Encourages calm, thoughtful behaviour rather than constant excitement.
-Improves focus and concentration by rewarding sustained engagement.
-Builds confidence through independent problem-solving.
-Helps satisfy a working dog’s need to use their brain, not just their body.
-Can reduce frustration and boredom by providing an appropriate outlet for natural behaviours.

Tips to starting out-

Scatter some treats in the box and try not to encourage your dog in, but let them investigate.
If they take their head out and re-engage with the box I would throw a few more bits of food in to reinforce the re-engagement… helping to build longer periods of focus and perseverance.
