Unleashing Confidence: Nose Work Skills for Shy Dogs |
|
|
| Dogs are remarkable creatures with unique personalities. Just like humans, some dogs can be naturally shy or lack self-confidence. Finding effective methods to boost the confidence of shy dogs and help them overcome their fears is crucial for their overall well-being. One powerful confidence-building tool that has gained popularity in recent years is nose work, a fascinating canine activity that taps into a dog’s incredible sense of smell. In nose work, dogs are trained to search for specific scents, often by using food or other target odors hidden in various environments. |

Therapy Dog Skills: Remaining Calm Around Medical Equipment |
|
|
| It’s no secret that our dogs bring us comfort and joy, but have you ever wondered how you can train your dog to provide that same comfort and joy to others? Therapy dogs offer those benefits to people who are lonely or grieving, and even help people cope with anxiety and trauma. However, to be certified as a therapy dog team, dogs and their handlers must undergo a screening process to ensure that they have the right qualities and skills that are necessary for therapy dog work. |
