Horse Eden : Critiques?

My dog was taught to pick stuff off the floor like keys. I put a bobble keychain on it so she could easily pick them up.
She also would bring the mail from the mailbox into the house.
She loved the small jobs.
When she was younger, she could also spend two hours running in the dog park or the backyard.

It made her feel useful, it made her calmer in the house, and easier in public.
She loved meeting new people, especially kids, and she was a BIG dog, so she was taught she had to lay down to meet someone new, and then she would present her belly for rubs (one of her absolute favorite things).
It made her think and respond accordingly to people.

She wasn't the most mannered dog - still would bark at the door and if she knew the person would jump on them and lick their ears.

Not all dogs are perfect but

Sorry for the whole rambling rant - training and behavior are a HUGE passion for me.

There are great clicker training podcasts. My favorite is Equine Clicker 101, as it gives a step by step guide to the session and also what to do for troubleshooting situations.

There's a few people who are on the Video Social Media who give training tips and ideas for keeping an energetic dog.
Like small things you can do is make meal time interesting and a challenge - scattering kibble in a towel and rolling it up, or in a ball, or a frozen peanut butter Kong.
Anything that makes them take longer to eat and have to use their brain.

Something mentally challenging is almost as energy depleting as something physically challenging.

Having a job can also promote self confidence in a dog.
Something simple like bringing you the re

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.
