A To Z Challenge - W Is For Weary

Keeping training sessions with your dog short, effective and productive can help keep his attention span for the entire training session and make him more willing to train. We all become weary of things that drag on for a long time; for example, a boring lesson at school. A 10 minute lesson would definitely make pupils more willing to participate than one that dragged on for an hour. Keep training sessions with your dog short, but make them more frequent. This means that you'll be training him for the same amount of time, but you'll be spreading it out a bit more so that you both become less weary.

Eventually, we all become weary of things that drag on for a long time, even if we find it enjoyable. Every weight becomes heavier if we do it in excess and all in one go without splitting it up and having some time out. You should always aim to keep your dog's enjoyment and motivation levels high when training him.

  6. Short training sessions are great. We'll often work with our guide dog pups during commercial breaks while watching TV.
