ALL dogs have issues.
Don't you?
ALL dogs are individuals.
Aren't we?
There are so many choices in how to give your best furfriend the best life. There are so many choices in ways to help your pup when they are having a hard time.
Sometimes, exercise, a few lessons and extra play or snuggle time helps the most. Sometimes, training helps them communicate with us better so we can figure out why they are having a hard time.
Training makes them use their minds, builds their confidence and trust, it is, even if only basic training, a must in my opinion.
I'm not saying go out and spend a small fortune for a trainer, I'm saying training your dog is training yourself at the same time. As your bond grows you both pay closer attention to the hard times you each are going through.
It doesn't have to be long walks on leash training, train inside 15-30 minutes a day.
Go to Your Place
(Go to your bed does not mean Place)
and Stay
(even if you're out of sight)
is one of the best places to start.
If someone comes to the door you can tell them to go to their Place and they won't be getting hyped up, in your way and making whoever is at the door nervous.
(It’s telling them what you want them to do, immediately, it builds their confidence and trust)
Sit & Stay are always important, it's a matter of making sure you have their attention, they are focused on you cause after all, you have their back and they have yours.
