Anticipation is rewarding? Well yes when time is gradually increased and the outcome itself is worth the wait.

Not the first time a shock jock has commented this. So as a reminder, there’s more to training than showing end results. And there’s some of us who only show a snippet of what we know and do. For me I like to show a wide range of what goes into dog training and behavior modification. And believe me there’s more to the list than what’s mentioned above.

Should we punish a dog for drinking or eating food left out by us humans?

Dr.Kristina Spaulding PHD, is one of my absolute favorites and I wanted to highlight something she wrote in her book The Stress Factor in Dogs. When it comes to enrichment.

A dog who has high skills and low challenge will be bored.

A dog with low skills and low challenge will be apathetic.

A dog with low skills and high challenge will get frustrated.

But

A dog with high skills and a high challenge will be fulfilled!

Off lead dog charges us, this is how we avoided the worse case.
Note: I do have citronella spray on me if a stern “no” and body blocking doesn’t faze the approaching dog.
FYI this dog owner repeatedly allows her dog off lead to wonder off and approach dogs on their walk. This is the core of my frustration. It’s not the dogs fault, it’s the owners.

My newest blog where I explore the overwhelming evolutionary history of dogs having jobs in comparison to our modern expectations of behavior.

In just a few hundred years, dogs went from having jobs, large open areas, and fewer restrictions to crammed housing, traffic, leashes, technology, and humans gone for eight-hour workdays.

Her boundaries where respected! I’m always blown away by how well dogs (as a species) adapt to another dog’s communication styles. Dogs evolved to share much of their life with non blood related dogs and different species, which is one of many things that sets them apart from wolves.

Ritualized Aggression: an important part of dog to dog communication, its function is the use of controlled conflict that helps avoid a serious fight. Air snaps, growls, stiffing up posture, barring teeth and hackled hair all form as communication to say “hey, give me space” or “this resource is mine, don’t approach.”
