Nothing in life is free...


Today finds the sun shining brightly...warmer temperatures...a big difference from our snowy Sunday. What to do on a lovely sunny winter day....sadly for the dogs I do have to work for who would keep them in the life style they have become so very accustomed too ;-)

Kidding aside, what they want the most is our time....so, with that said play breaks are scheduled throughout the day. As are training breaks...most importantly commands are implemented into daily life....long downs while I am preparing meals, sitting before being fed, and before being allowed to go outside. Yes, they too have to work for all the things they want...in training we call this Nothing in life is free!!!
If you are lavishing your furry friend with attention just because they are soooo cute....try making them work for it by making them sit first!
A very Simple philosophy and it works.

Ahh yes. Great advice that works with people too. Try it on kids. Nothing at all wrong with a little training... love those scheduled play times too.
