Relationship Building: The Power of Elevation!

Описание: Do you get down on your dog's level during training sessions? 🐾

Building a rock-solid relationship with your dog starts with trust and engagement. Discover why changing your elevation can be the secret to unlocking your dog's focus!

In this part of Wooffles' training journey, we explore the subtle yet powerful technique of changing elevation to strengthen the human-canine bond. Senior trainers at Partners Dogs demonstrate how kneeling down to a dog's level makes a handler more enticing and approachable, especially for high-drive breeds like the Belgian Malinois. This method is particularly effective with young puppies or when meeting new dogs, as it reduces pressure and encourages positive interaction. You'll see the immediate change in Wooffles' body language as she moves from unsure to enthusiastically engaged. However, it's also important to recognize that standing back up changes the dynamic, and the goal is to maintain that focus as you transition. By prioritizing relationship-building over simple treat-taking, we create a more durable foundation for future obedience. Watch how we use these engagement drills to stimulate the brain in the right way!
