We stated by driving to the sniff spot parking lot. Baxter had beef with the iron dog cutouts at first lol.

All together a great spot! Easy to reserve & find, clean and had a bunch of fun toys to play with. Other than the gate latch, this was a solid place to hang out with a flight risk dog!

Bayley demonstrates “bringing the calm from inside.”

Stress in dogs: is there “good stress” and “bad stress”?

-stress is neutral, but too much stress overall leads to poor outcomes, both in training & health.

-we can’t prevent stress from happening, but we can be aware of how often our dogs are in a state of stress and be strategic about what stress we allow or encourage and what stress we avoid.
