This week we discuss: Is your dog a thinker or a doer?

Today’s topic is something we’ve been talking on for a while now, and its more relevant than ever before as people, like you, are understanding their dogs better.

Today we’ll introduce you to the thinker and doer spectrum and we’ll be discussing how you can play games that create a more thoughtful dog and likewise, we’ll be looking at how you can create more of a doer!

There’s no right or wrong with owning a thinker or a doer, however, the key thing is being aware of which one your dog is, so that you can play games appropriate to your dog so that they can be the best possible version of themselves.

This week we discuss: My Dog Won’t Play

This week we’ll be talking on the power of play with your dog. 

Play is whatever is fun to your dog. We’ll repeat that….Play is whatever is FUN to your dog. You may have ideas on how you would like to play with your dog, you may have been told how you should play with your dog. However, does your dog find the way you want to play rewarding?

Play is all about being creative, curious, experimenting with different things, and working with your dog to find out what types of play they love. There is no right or wrong, it is whatever works for you and your dog.

In this episode we dive into how you can tap into what your dog really and truly loves when it comes to play.

This week we discuss: Training with Force

Force sounds like a scary word and is something that tends not to be talked about in the reward-based method world. 

Here’s the thing, you can absolutely be using force even if you are using food or toys as a reward. Of course this isn’t the intention and it can be done accidentally. 

In our world, we think about force in a different way. Force doesn’t need to look forceful. 

Join us for this week’s episode where we dive into this topic and discuss what we see as training with force and the practical solutions to move away from it.
