In the delightful journey of pet ownership, one key element stands out as the backbone of a well-behaved and happy canine companion – training. Integrating training into your daily routine not only ensures a well-mannered dog but also strengthens the bond between you and your furry friend.

At The Wonderful World of Dogs, this month’s blog looks at how you can incorporate dog training into your daily routine.

Morning Manners

Begin your day by establishing positive habits with your dog. Take a few minutes in the morning to reinforce basic commands such as ‘sit,’ ‘stay,’ or ‘lie down.’ This not only sets a positive tone for the day but also helps your dog focus and expend some of that morning energy.

Use treats or verbal praise as rewards, creating a positive association with obeying commands.

Mealtime Misery

Turn mealtime into an interactive training session. Before placing the food bowl down, ask your dog to ‘wait’ patiently. This reinforces impulse control and teaches them that good behaviour is rewarded.

You can also introduce commands like ‘leave it’ to prevent any unwanted behaviour around food. By incorporating training into mealtime, you’re making it a part of your dog’s daily routine.

Walk & Learn

Transform your daily walks into a training adventure. Use the opportunity to practice loose-leash walking, recall commands, and even introduce new tricks. Dogs learn best in real-world scenarios, and incorporating training into walks not only provides mental stimulation but also reinforces good behaviours outside the home.

Remember to keep training sessions short and varied to maintain your dog’s interest.

Interactive Play

Make playtime not just entertaining but also educational. Incorporate training commands into games like fetch or hide and seek. For example, use the ‘fetch’ command to reinforce recall, or ‘drop it’ when retrieving toys.

This not only strengthens your dog’s responsiveness but also makes training an enjoyable part of their day, fostering a positive attitude towards learning.

Problem-Solving Puzzles

Incorporate mental stimulation into your dog’s routine with puzzle toys or training games. These activities challenge your dog’s problem-solving skills and engage their minds. Mental exercise is as important as physical activity, contributing to a well-rounded and contented pet.

Introducing such activities also reinforces the training principles you’ve instilled, making learning a holistic experience for your dog.
