HEX Dog Training Tip of the Day! Get some SLEEP. What does this have to do with dog training, you say? Several things... First and foremost, it is very important that you work with dogs only when you are in a good state of mind. If you are angry, frustrated, anxious, quick-tempered or even just sad, take a break for yourself and start (or come back to) training later on. It is better to sacrifice the training time at that moment, for a more meaningful training session later. The thing I love most about dogs is their pure and intuitive natures. You can BS a human being; (Whats wrong? Oh, nothing...), but you cant BS a dog. If you arent feelin it, they will pick up on that and your training session wont be as lucrative, and could potentially hurt ya in the future. This is not an excuse to skip out on training! Be honest with yourself about your mood - YOU know if youre making excuses or if you really dont feel mentally up to it. Take a deep breath, smile - seriously, actually make yourself smile even if you are by yourself - and train when you are in the right state of mind! Stay conscious of this, and watch your training results improve. Happy training #HEXfamily!
