Are you feeling like every waking moment with your dog or puppy that you have to be on the go and you just want to sit down and have a cup of coffee in the morning or read a book or meditate? Your dog should do as you do not you do as they do. Our dogs need to be given permission to settle and do nothing. Stop making them so busy that they don't feel they can take a break. We cause busy dogs, dogs are not busy by nature, they want to relax, sleep and just hang with you. We think a tired dog is a good dog and in reality a tired dog is simply a tired dog. Provide appropriate exercise, food and water and a lovely place to sleep but you don't have to be so busy that they don't feel they can just relax with you. In this podcast we talk about how to give your dogs and you for that matter to settle and just hang out with you when there is nothing going on.
