On the benefits of repeated behaviour

Does your dog struggle with overexcitement on walks? Try this tip.

Choose one skill to practice on your walks.

For example: Start with a simple request, like a 'Wait at the gate'.

Ask your dog to sit, and slowly open the gate. If they dash toward it, calmly close the gate and start again.

Practice until your dog can remain seated while the gate is open.

This helps your dog to focus, be calmer, and, with regular practice, build great habits.
