Horse Eden : Chimera Examples

12:11:19

Training a service dog was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had.
She loved having a job - from being a mobility guide, anxiety helper, and even household chores like putting dishes in the sink, garbage and recycling, and putting laundry in the basket.

Training is one of those things that is always happening - every time you interact with anyone, you are teaching them how to interact with you.
If you let a horse or dog take up your space, they will then you think that that's an okay behavior.
Sometimes sessions are about fun things like crawl and roll over, sometimes it's experiencing a new environment and relaxing, and other times it's going back to basics.
Have fun - do dog things
Work on manners - in th house
Work on tasks
You can't demand perfection all the time, they should be allowed to be an animal, but make it interesting and fun to do different things all the time. Even if it's something small.

Going new places can also be a good workout. We take our pit mix out to new hiking areas whenever we can and all of the new things really help to wear him down.

I bet you could teach him yourself
as long as they have decent drive its pretty easy to teach dogs to do a job

Hummingbird Meadows

11:28:55 Hummer

Yeah, I should probably look into teaching him some more things. We used to go to dog-friendly stores to train and I still take him to them, but he is familiar with it.

The trainer we worked with offers sessions in weight pulling or similar "job like" things, but they are freakin expensive.

Backwoods Beauties

11:26:30 Sway

You can make jobs like teaching them to assist you with daily tasks, hiding things and getting them search for them, all sorts of things

Oh, that's fun! My dog would probably be scared of the wagon or cart being behind him. XD

Backwoods Beauties

Drafting is essentially what sled dogs do, but with a tiny cart! Like horses do pulling carts or carriages. Minga loved it, and would get so excited anytime I pulled out her harness. Our little wagon broke sadly, so she has not done it in quite some time.

(My dog, Minga, was supposedly from the girls female blue am bully, but she later told me they rescued the litter from a bush before their eyes were open🤨

I guess I'm not sure what "jobs" are available for dogs that are mostly just pets except agility.

Hummingbird Meadows

11:21:15 Hummer

What is drafting? I have thought about doing agility with him, but it would be hard because he gets easily scared of new things.

Backwoods Beauties

11:20:22 Sway

Gotcha. If he is of standard poodle and golden lineage, he is likely from working/hunting dog breeds, so you may need to give him a job, rather than just walkies🙂

I have a dog thats a mutt who is the same way. She was supposed to be lab x American bully, but we think I was lied to. Shes super high energy and I think inbred because she has screws loose. I started drafting with her, and it really helped her work off energy!

Snitches' Stitches

and goldens are also generally pretty high energy dogs.
