⭐️ Working on basic engagement training with your dog is absolutely essential, especially with so many distractions around in our day to day lives.
🐶 At Take The Lead, we prioritise engagement and focus!
🐾When your dog is more focused on you and visually connected with you, they are less distracted and less reactive to their environment.
❤️ Being more interesting and engaging and making working with you fun will also increase the amount your dog engages with you.
🎾Why not try including fast movement and play and adding appropriate challenge to your exercises!
⭐️ It’s critical for your dog to see YOU as the most valuable part of their world. This not only builds confidence but also helps to eliminate the stress and anxiety caused by any other distractions.
👉🏼 YOU have the ability to lead them through different scenarios and affect their experience.
🐾This is especially important in scenarios that are new/that they would otherwise find nerve wracking
✔️ When your dog learns that focusing on you leads to rewards and positive experiences, it strengthens their bond with you.
👉🏼 Starting engagement training early helps make this behavior second nature. Use high-value treats to reward your dog each time they choose to look at or interact with you.
👉🏻 By becoming the most important factor in your dog’s environment, you’ll experience better control, faster responsiveness, and a dog that makes smarter choices.
❤ A focused dog is also a calmer dog, as they won’t become overstimulated by their surroundings.
