Your dog doesn’t need more commands, they need more practice in everyday life🐾
This wasn’t a formal training session. I was just making breakfast.
But while I cooked, the dogs were practicing one of the most valuable skills they can learn: staying calm while life happens.
Instead of expecting perfect obedience in a busy environment overnight, I set them up for success and rewarded good choices throughout the time.
That’s how behaviors become reliable.
You don’t need to dedicate an hour every day to training. Practice while you’re:
🍳 Cooking
🧺 Folding laundry
📺 Watching TV
🚪 Answering the door
The goal isn’t for your dog to perform when you’re holding treats. It’s for them to understand that the same rules apply in everyday life.
(And yes… Ranger was convinced an eggshell or two might accidentally fall his way😂)
What’s one everyday activity you could turn into a training session this week?
