🌟 Settling - The Art of Doing Nothing 🌟

Why do we teach this skill to our Social Skills dogs?

Because it helps teach dogs calm behavior. They learn to watch the world go by without reacting to it. It helps them learn how to decompress and destress.

There are so many benefits to teaching this behavior, especially in young dogs!!
