Challenging your dog to be brave and try again will make them more likely to believe they are capable of overcoming. They will be more likely to try things and be comfortable making mistakes.
We’re the same. I fell off the wall many times today. Sometimes I decided that particular course wasn’t for me. Others I fell and tried again over and over until I got it.
Practicing failure and deciding not to quit helps build that behavior so that when we encounter real-life problems we are scared or unsure of, we are confident trying. Starting. Challenging ourselves not to quit.
