Sundays are for….

….training.

Sundays are the perfect day to teach your dog a silly or useful or fun behavior.  You have the entire day to yourself.  I stopped by Home Depot this morning while I was out doing a pet sit and picked up a light switch for 75 cents to work on teaching Jellybean to turn specifically my bedroom light off and on.

I don’t usually finish my Sunday training projects.  I started this morning with teaching Jellybean to jump on a chair placed just under my bedroom light switch and will sit down to work on the flipping the switch behavior tonight but if that is as far as we get?  That is fine.  To me Sunday training projects are less about completing a trained behavior and more about doing something fun with my dog and building our learning relationship.

Fun with Dogs
by Creature Comforts
Since 1992, through my pet sitting business Creature Comforts, I have been providing pet care solutions tailored to individual animal needs in Lexington, Kentucky including vacation care, daily dog exercise options and specialized care for flighted parrots.

My emphasis is on using positive reinforcement and non-corrective based techniques to solve the basic problems people have with their dogs. Or rather, the problems dogs have with their people ;-)
