Is Tug-of-War Bad for Your Dog? A Trainer Sets the Record Straight
Try this session plan
four small steps, straight from the trainer’s notebook
Log tiny progress in a notebook; behaviour change is a paw-by-paw trail.
Pick a quiet moment - a calm dog learns faster than a wound-up one.
Keep the session short: three to five minutes, then a sniff break.
Reward the smallest right answer, then raise the bar one paw at a time.
