Adapting Training into Daily Routines


Making dog training a part of your day is easier than you think and you may actually be doing it without even knowing! Some of the following are examples of how you could include dog training in your daily routine.
  • Sitting before a meal
  • Giving them a place to lay down during the day and telling them to go there instead of pacing around your living room
  • Playing fetch and having them "drop it" upon returning the ball
  • Siting before going outside or coming in
"Just say ok" says Rusty (excuse moms messy pouring skills)

Remember dogs learn by association so you may be training them to do some not so good things also.
For instance those scraps you may feed them from the table? That could potentially get them to start begging every time you sit at the table with food.
Or maybe your dog starts barking at something and you start yelling at them to quiet down but they just bark louder because they think youre just barking along with them?

Or maybe theyre barking at the neighbors dog and you bring them inside to get them to quiet down so now every time they want to come in they start barking at the door?
Some times we dont even realize we are training our dogs but the key is to remember how dogs learn and how to apply it.

Has this got you thinking of how you are with your dog during the day? Let me know in the comments!
