🐕 A TIRED DOG ISN’T NECESSARILY A WELL-TRAINED DOG!
Does your dog have endless energy? Do you find yourself taking longer walks, playing more fetch, or trying to wear them out just to get a little peace?
Exercise is important, but physical exhaustion isn’t the same as good behavior and there is a big difference between physical and mental exercise.
Dogs also need to learn how to settle down, relax, and remain calm—even when exciting things are happening around them.
🐾 Here are three things to practice:
✅ Teach your dog to settle calmly in a designated spot.
✅ Practice obedience when distractions are present.
✅ Establish a routine that includes both activity and quiet time.
A dog that can relax without constant entertainment is developing an important life skill!
Remember: Don’t just teach your dog how to be active. Teach them how to be calm.
At Always Faithful Dog Training of Southeast Arizona, we help owners establish clear communication, structure, and the skills needed for a happy, balanced, and well-behaved companion.
