Balanced Dogs

From time to time I write a few articles to help you get your dawgs from one point to the next. You have a great deal, after the breeder that is, in getting your dawg to be all they can be.

Read 'Getting Your Dog Balanced'

Too often life gets busy and we don't take the time to take our dawgs for play dates, out to Petsmart or your local dog store or to classes. Then suddenly you are wondering why your dog is nervous at new things.

Conditioning is VERY important. The more your expose your dogs to new things the more he takes changes in stride.

Think about it. If you never went out of the house and suddenly you were dragged out and you had no clue where you were going, how do you think you would feel?

Sure you need to do slow conditioning in safe environments but exposure is important.

I remember talking to someone that does agility and their dawg stops when someone has a hat on. If you started putting various hats on or had someone else each time that dawg would train, eventually the dawg wouldn't react but that takes effort. Is it worth it? YEP!

You have the ability to have an amazing time. They are what you put into them and as breeders, we give them the best start possible and you bring them in for a homerun.
