 k9Dreamers - 2020 VISION - One Definition of 'Vision':
"THE ABILITY TO THINK ABOUT OR PLAN THE FUTURE WITH IMAGINATION OR WISDOM". As we head into the New Year, do you have a '2020 Vision' for what you would like to achieve with your dog this year? We cannot see the future, but we can plan, with imagination and wisdom, having a mental image of where you would like to be, say in 6 or 12 months time. As with all things in Dog Training, we start small, like rewarding a 10 second Sit Stay, and slowly extending the time..then, putting in some distance, then going out of sight and even having someone cycle around, while your dog stays in one place. Result..! But, we get there in stages, rewarding every achievement and before you know it, your dog amazes you and you amaze YOURSELF! So, plan for a Happy 2020 New Year... everyone! If in doubt...ask for advice to create your 'Training Vision'..

Are you a REACTIVE or PROACTIVE Dog owner? This is the difference. (Quote from the DTC 'Reactive Rascals' training Manual) "The reactive trainer waits for a situation to occur then tries to manage it. The proactive trainer on the other hand, plans their walks and has lots of tools in their toolkit to manage the situations they are faced with before they become a problem. They ensure their dog knows the tools before they need to be used in a real life situation". As for me... I am a Proactive dog trainer. Preparation, dog and human awareness and training is key. 🐾😃🐾 |
