If your want your dog to be successful in real life situations, you’re going to have to train in those real life situations, and the best way to GET there, is by practicing. Recreate these scenarios on low risk ocassions that help you AND your get your practice in. The more you practice something, the better you get. It very much feels like setting the stage, getting your actors in place, and rehearsing your lines. How else are you supposed to get better & be ready without dress rehearsals? #dog
