For Nala, one minute on a place board can feel like forever. She wants to bounce around, whine, zoom, do literally anything except be still.
And that’s the point.
We’re not just asking her to stay put. We’re helping her learn that she can feel that excitement and frustration without immediately acting on it.
A lot of dogs who seem to have endless energy actually just have a really hard time regulating themselves. They’re always looking for the next thing to do, chew, chase, pick up, bark at, pull toward or react to.
So sometimes the workout is doing nothing.
Just one minute of staying there, working through it and learning how to settle can start changing the way they handle everything else too.
A dog that can’t do nothing will struggle with everything.
If this looks or sounds like your dog, message me to book a free Meet & Greet! 🐾
