Training Tip Tuesday
One of the best training tips I can give is this: stop while you’re ahead.
When things are going well, we often get greedy and want just one more repetition or one more success. Unfortunately, that’s often when it comes back to bite us.
Ending on a high note builds momentum, cooperation, confidence, and eagerness for the next session. Pushing for too much can create frustration, mistrust, and noncompliance—undoing the progress you just made.
So the next time your dog reaches a new goal or has a breakthrough, celebrate it! Jackpot that success, end the session, and leave them wanting more.
Remember, the goal isn’t to see how long you can train—it’s to make your dog excited for the next training session.
