Do you play? Do you play with your dog? With your horse? Why is play so important?

This is part 1 of a series about helping our animals be polite and socially appropriate.  

Do you let your dog eat from the ground? Do you let your horse graze when you go for a trail ride?  Let's talk about it!

Sometimes, a behaviour problem or a lack of progress in your training plan is a symptom of not enough rest.

How do we get behaviours without having a handful of treats all the time? What's the secret?

Does your dog or horse opt in or opt out of training?  How can we be better trainers and better pet guardians so that our horses and dogs WANT to play with us?

I have strayed from my original purpose of this podcast to include more dog training tips as well as horse training tips.  In my ever-evolving journey of horse and dog training, I think this is valuable!  I'd love to hear your feedback.

Today I talk about how to help a reactive dog make friends on leash, and how I do a similar set of exercises with Zephyr. 

Zephyr wears a bareback pad! Oh, and also, the answer isn't a bigger bit or a prong collar or a more severe halter =)
