Complex things are happening in the egghouse.

1. A frustration intolerant dog is hard to work with because it takes patience and stripping things back step by step

2. Working two dogs at once is a brain juggler

3. Machines are great

Put all these together and you have a plan to work on a client's busybody dog by taking the reward away from the source of frustration (ie- me) and make the area I want her to be rewarding!

Don't mind me dropping off the face of the earth for all of January and February, that happens with brains sometimes!

Welcome back, depressed people with dogs, and to ease back into things let's keep it simple. Don't want to use your brain? Don't use your hands either! Today may not be the day for that much effort.

If it is the difference between your dog getting walked or not- go for it!

And an enrichment toy is not the end all be all of problem solvers and can't replace exercising. BUT on a slow day it can patch some gaps.

How have you been taking care of you dog while I was away?

Yes, most times we do need to find out how to get up and do physical work with living breathing animal in our life. But- not always.

It is great to have supplemental activities on hand that require very little for you but can elevate a "bare minute " day to a "new and fun" day for your dog.

Get creative with your recycling, and remember, you can still recycle it after your dog shreds it.

Save your brain space! If you try to do everything at 100% you will burn out.

If you have loose leash goals- pivot when needed. You can use play and training before the walk, use a different walking tool for less structured walking, or just a longer leash. You CAN put fewer braincells in the start of the walk when your dog is least likely to focus.

Don't judge yourself for utilizing management in ways that do not affect your training.

Once your dog is fulfilled and satisfied THEN you can whip out the loose lead practice!

I almost didn't do this, but I figured that the potential to show what doing the work REALLY looks like is worth a few people thinking I'm over sharing.

Mim is an energetic Jack Russell Terrier and I am a neurodivergent dog trainer whose body thinks winter is a time to do literally nothing.

Maybe some of you can relate.

If so, I encourage you to follow our journey full of training, play, and showing reality instead of edited glamor shots.

This time of year so many people start to plan to purchase puppies for their holiday.

Last month breeders already started breeding to capitalize on this boom of demand.

It is not a smart plan to bring a new pup home during the holidays, because of how big an undertaking bringing a new pup home is!

So, keep the puppy and the holiday separate.

Gift a promise collar to your child, letting them know that this process will involve them every step of the way.

Give your family member wanting a dog a gift card for the local pet supply store, to help them bring home a new pet.

Wait to gift yourself a dog until the holidays are over, so they can enjoy peace and routine.

What happens when my dog doesn't take rewards?

In Positive Reinforcement training we use motivators, like food or play, to teach dogs most behaviors. So it can be confusing to a pet parent when their dog won't take rewards!

But fear not- this is not a reason to give up or start using pain!

While some dogs prefer to use less conventional rewards (sprays of water, human excitement, sniffing) most dogs can work for food and toys. It may just take looking out for these three common reasons why!

If you're still stumped, go to eggheadcanine.com and let me help you find your dog's motivation!
