Raise your hand if you’ve been guilty of these bef Raise your hand if you’ve been guilty of these before! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ I know I have and that’s ok! Nobody’s perfect. Understanding why this matters and recognizing it is so important: Here’s why we want slow & controlled movements 👇 There are numerous exercises where precision and stillness are important. If our dogs are zooming around an exercise, there’s a good chance they’re not actually doing the intended movement(s) of the exercise itself which means they’re getting no benefit at all. The first step is always checking your own speed. If you’re speeding around, your dog probably is too. Here’s why we reward frequently 👇 Whenever we teach our dog something new, they have to know they’re doing it right. Some dogs are motivated by food, others toys. If we consistently ask our dogs to do something without ever rewarding them for it, eventually they’re going to give up, walk away and shut down which is the LAST thing we want. When we give more frequent rewards, we’re telling our dogs: “yes, that’s right!” which will not only keep them excited but also increase their skill & knowledge.

Did you know K9 fitness can help your dog on the 4 Did you know K9 fitness can help your dog on the 4th of July? 🇺🇸 Is it the ultimate cure for all dogs? Absolutely not. But it can make a difference. *Please know that many dogs need medication to help during these very stressful times. That is covered below* Here are 6 helpful tips to keep your dog calm on the 4th 👇 ☀️ Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. This can be a longer walk/hike filled with PLENTY of sniff time and/or your dog’s fitness plan. ☀️ Adding in dog enrichment activities throughout the day can also help mentally fulfill your dog. Some ideas are: snuffle mats, puzzles, short training sessions throughout the day, tug of war, anything that fulfills your dog. ☀️ Creating a safe space for your dog is key to keeping them comfortable. This can be their crate, a quiet room, etc. ☀️ Calming medications or clothing can also help your dog. Your veterinarian must prescribe all medications and can advise you on what will best help your dog. **I had a dog growing up who was always scared during thunderstorms and had to have medicine during severe storms that was prescribed by our vet** 🔥 #1 Rule: Be understanding of your dog. They hear and feel things very differently than we do and on much bigger scales. Being considerate of how it’s affecting them is key to doing what’s best for them. I hope this helps and that you and your dog have a safe 4th of July.
