What is play?
Play is any activity that creates a positive outlet for your dog to express some form of natural drive.
Is play training?
YES! Play itself is a form of “training” and training should include “play.” This creates a dog motivated for work. REMEMBER PLAY DOES NOT REPLACE OBEDIENCE AND BEHAVIOR WORK. IT ENHANCES THEM.
Won’t play during training break my dogs focus?
Not when done right. When structured correctly play will build motivation and relationship which will in turn build focus.
Isn’t “tug” a negative or detrimental activity to engage in?
Absolutely not. Tug is an excellent way to provide a positive outlet for dogs when used appropriately.
What if my dog doesn’t like a certain type of activity?
Who cares! Play comes in all shapes and forms. In this program we will be figuring out what floats your dog’s boat?
