These FREE eBooks will help you to teach your dog a very important concept - one that they LOVE! And that is to work for their food in addition to receiving an awesome programme of enrichment. Ditching the Bowl is one of the key foundations to games-based training and there are so many misconceptions around what this term actually means - so we've created two eBooks to explain all, with tons of great tips.
We are taught as humans that routine is good for us, so we impose the same thought process on our dogs. But could routine actually be doing your dog more harm than good? Imagine all of the things that could cause an increase in stress for your dog if they become events that excite/worry them, or if you're suddenly unable to stick to your dog's normal routine. Not only can that create a LOT of stress throughout the day, that stress can have a big impact on your dog’s behaviour! Have you even considered that routine plays a part in your dog training? It can actually be detrimental to all of the hard work that you're putting in elsewhere.
Is your dog worried about the world? Could they benefit from a dose of optimism? Everything in your dog’s world could be good or bad, friendly or scary, depending on their level of optimism. Some dogs are born optimists, while others are naturally more pessimistic in their outlook. Your dog’s level of optimism can influence how they feel about everything, from meeting new people and dogs to handling everyday situations like vet visits and car rides. Ever seen your dog startle at a familiar object placed in a new spot? Or get spooked by something unusual on a walk? Some dogs take novelty in their stride, while others can find it a little more challenging. The great news is that optimism is like a muscle that can be strengthened and flexed through fun training games you can play at home. Just like you might build up your own muscles in the gym, your dog’s optimism can be boosted by making sure you’re regularly including optimism games in their day. A more optimistic dog is happier and more resilient. But it's not just about building optimism—it's also about protecting it. Pay attention to everyday events that might dent your dog's optimistic sparkle and provide support when needed. Want to teach your dog to go through life feeling like a superhero? Our FREE Optimism Rocks eBook contains 24 dog training games to begin your dog training transformation journey with your dog. This eBook is designed with reactive ("Naughty But Nice" dogs) in mind but is perfect for ALL dogs. New to games-based training? This eBook will take you step by step through the process of setting your dog up for success. Playing the games is just one piece of the puzzle and this eBook will show you wins that you never thought possible with your dog! But could routine actually be doing your dog more harm than good? Imagine all of the things that could cause an increase in stress for your dog if they become events that excite/worry them, or if you're suddenly unable to stick to your dog's normal routine. Not only can that create a LOT of stress throughout the day, that stress can have a big impact on your dog’s behaviour! Have you even considered that routine plays a part in your dog training? It can actually be detrimental to all of the hard work that you're putting in elsewhere.
Calmness is King! In fact, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give your dog. Some dogs don’t understand calmness as a matter of course. It’s simply not part of their natural decision making process to choose calmness over craziness. Yet calmness is the concept that is going to set your dog up for the very best success in every aspect of life. Whether you have a dog who barks at noises, struggles to settle, gets over-excited by visitors or runs a wall of death around your living room when they hear a delivery truck pull up outside, a foundation of calmness is going to allow them switch craziness for calm behaviour and make the very best decisions. This FREE eBook will help you to teach your dog this very important skill.
