Enjoying your dog training

Ensuring you have a well trained dog is important, however, to do this, it’s vital you both thoroughly enjoy your dog training. Whilst we are mentally and physically stimulating our dogs, we also need to make sure the time we spend training is enriching both dog and handler. I often see clients frustrated and stressed whilst training their dogs, focusing on the negatives. When training it’s always important to find a positive from a negative.

Today’s lesson with Yogi the rescue Labrador is a good example. Through dedication and hard work, the working bond they have is immense. After establishing the basics over the last lesson, I decided to work Yogi in some tough terrain today. Yogi and Andrew thoroughly enjoyed the challenges presented to them on retrieves. It showed Andrew how rewarding instilling the basic commands into their training is.
