The world around you and me moves so fast. Sometimes, it is far too fast for our dogs too. This is why it's important that we find quiet, slow-paced environments with minimal distractions, in order to provide our dogs with plenty of opportunities to be part of the outside world in a way that feels very doable and stress-free. This option will positively affect how your dog, no matter their behaviour, personality or age, feels better and better about other types of environments and situations too. We may not be fully aware of it, but enough ongoing exposure to stressors and triggers can add up overtime, and affect how our dogs interact with the world around them. Ready? ☝🏼 Don't forget to reward and prioritize any progress before perfection. The biggest reward is your dog feeling good about doing awesome things with you!
