Return to: Sauts Clip N Go A Dog Trainer Confesses: I Rarely Walk My Dogs! Too often, dog owners are told that more exercise and more walks are the solution to many behavior problems including aggression, reactivity, and separation anxiety. While it is true that a lack of exercise can exacerbate these issues, it's rarely the cause or the cure -- although it is part of the treatment plan. I think that for many dogs (and their people!), leash walks are overrated. If your dog lunges at other dogs and people before you even make it off your block, the walk isn't exactly "relaxing" for either of you. Until my reactive Saint Bernard, Cuba, is more comfortable around these things in his environment, chances are high that when we're out together, he may be put in a situation where he rehearses undesirable behavior and learns that he cannot trust me to keep him safe; not a fun situation for either of us!

WHY PLAY DOG SPORTS? I am on the train home now, after a fantastic weekend teaching Treibball with Dogzworth in Montreal. Great dogs, great people and a fantastic time. AND sushi for lunch. When I do workshops like this I often have the opportunity to visit people who are excited about a new sport or activity with their dogs and who are keen on learning new things. I get this at our own school too, but it is interesting to see a whole group of people who are new to me and watch them develop skills and tools to become really proficient at something brand new to them. There are a wide variety of sports you can play with your dogs now. In the group I was teaching we had a wide variety of dogs with a wide ranges of backgrounds and talents. First and foremost, I do sport with my dogs because we enjoy it. Secondly, dog sports, regardless of which ones, are activities that you and your dog do together. In order to play dog sports, you have to have a set of skills. We teach a long go out in Treibball.
