You may be wondering, why are our dogs on top of odd things?! ๐พ
It may look silly but this action has so many benefits for a dogs training ๐ Here are just a few of the benefits this skill has! โฌ๏ธ
Confidence Building:
Trying new things can be nerve wracking. Itโs important for a dog to know that they can do hard things! We build up their confidence to be able to handle different surfaces, heights, sizes of objects. It feels great to overcome things you thought to be impossible, itโs the same for your dog!
Building Trust in the Handler:
Along with confidence building, you are the one staying by your dogs side and cheering them on while they tackle an obstacle. This strengthens the bond between you and your dog because they trusted your guidance and came out more confident!
Spacial Awareness:
Sometimes our dogs donโt understand how big they are. They may be running into the coffee table and knocking things over, or unable to get their back legs onto the couch or into the car. This is because they havenโt had to think about how to fully control the back half of their body. (Kind of like you trying to do things with your non dominant hand) With practice, your dog gains more control of their body, making them more aware of the space they take up. They become more confident in their ability to use their whole bodies.
All of our training is relationship based to give you and your dog the best experience ๐
