Keep up the good work!
- Interpretation
Your dog is typically relaxed, comfortable, and adaptable in various settings. They approach new situations with curiosity and positivity, whether meeting people, encountering other dogs, or navigating public spaces.
While they might initially show some caution, they adjust quickly and engage confidently.
- Guidance
Great job fostering your dog’s confidence! To maintain this positive behavior, continue introducing them to new experiences and reinforcing their successes with treats, praise, or play.
Keep your dog well-rounded and happy by engaging them in activities that challenge them both mentally and physically, ensuring they stay content and stimulated.
- Tips
Important resources to help you and your pet thrive!
Take your dog to new environments, like outdoor markets, dog-friendly cafes, or hiking trails, to keep their experiences fresh and exciting.
Use puzzle toys, scent games, or advanced trick training to stimulate their mind.
Example: Hide treats in a snuffle mat or teach them a fun new cue like “roll over” or “spin.”
Reward calm, confident responses to new situations with treats, praise, or play.
Try dog sports like rally obedience, flyball, or even therapy dog training for structured fun and bonding.
Deepen their skills with advanced cues like “go to your mat,” “find it,” or off-leash reliability.
