It can be really easy to feel like we need to do more with our dogs. Longer walks, longer training sessions, more activities, more everything!
But sometimes, more isn't actually better. 🐾
A long training session can leave your dog mentally exhausted or frustrated, while a long walk isn't necessarily a good walk if your dog is overwhelmed, struggling to settle or simply isn't enjoying themselves.
Instead, think about quality over quantity.
A short training session where your dog is engaged, successful and enjoying themselves can be far more valuable than pushing through for another 30 minutes.
And the same goes for walks! Sometimes a shorter, relaxed wander where your dog gets to sniff, explore and enjoy being outside is exactly what they need.
The goal isn't to see how much we can fit into our dog's day, it's to make the time we spend together valuable, enjoyable and appropriate for them. 💛🐶
