Winters are mostly assumed as a period of hibernation, but that is not a good option especially for people like us, Happy Tails who wish to make the most of the season. However, training a young dog can be a real challenge. But even though it is a tough call, your dog still needs to stay active and fit physically as well as mentally. Our professional dog trainers in Marltonat Happy Tails know how to train a dog even in the coldest weather.
Following are some of the top tips by our expert dog trainers in Marlton for training dogs in even the chilliest winter. Have a look –
- If snow and ice outside is worrying you, then you can opt for warm indoor places that are great for your dog to practice the skills and obedience in a new location. You can find a number of pet stores that offer such spaces. You can also opt for your local dog training institutes who can offer your dog the required indoor training with utmost professionalism.
- Keep teasing their brain with trick games such as hiding toys or treats and let your dog find it. You can also practice stays as these are an essential part of obedience trainings. Stays will teach your dog to have better emotional control which will help you with distractions in any situation. Stays require a little space for practice hence is a great training to carry out in winters.
- Another efficient training that needs little space is building value for the positions where you want your dog to repeat. Control position is a great skill to practice for dogs, as it will make your dog to be at your side when you need them to be. Similarly, a sit in front is a valuable skill that you can train your dog within a small premise. Train your dog to stop and sit on cue which also does not require a huge space.
- Trick your dog as much as possible. Tricks help in building confidence, strengthening communication and tiring a dog quickly. On even the colder days you can take out your dog for a short trick session to keep their learning habit intact.
- Lastly, we would love to suggest you to make your dog join our class. At Happy Tails our dog trainers in Marlton offer a variety of trainings, classes and fun games that helps in keeping your dog active and lets them learn with fun.
