Other professionals can&#8217;t seem to get their own stuff done because they are too busy doing the job for clients.\u00a0 Is the dog trainer just not that busy?\u00a0 \u00a0Again &#8220;laughter&#8221;, certainly that is not it.<\/p>\n<p>The dog trainer can get away with this odd phenomenon because they have a secret.\u00a0 I can tell you the secret but you have to promise to <strong><em>share it\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>with everyone!\u00a0 The dog trainers secret is that they have learned how to incorporate their training into their everyday life so that it does not require very much additional time to get it done.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 Yep! That&#8217;s it! Imagine if you could train your dog without actually using up a lot of extra time doing it.\u00a0 Imagine the possibilities there, training your dog right in there with your regularly scheduled activities! That is what a dog trainer does.\u00a0 Let me give you some examples.<\/p>\n<p>You need to teach a recall (come to me)? Do it at meal time.\u00a0 What dog doesn&#8217;t want to come to breakfast?\u00a0 How about calling them because you want to give them a random cookie?\u00a0 How many times do you think you would have to do that before that dog raced to you every time they heard their name.\u00a0 Sit? Who wouldn&#8217;t do a quick sit for their dinner?\u00a0 \u00a0 How long do you<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-458 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150-105x150.jpg 105w, https:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150-768x1099.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150-715x1024.jpg 715w, https:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150-600x859.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vipdogsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PICT2590-e1566316139150.jpg 1069w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>think it would take them to figure out that the quicker they sit, the quicker the meal is delivered. The Wait?\u00a0 Try only allowing access to the play yard once the dog patiently waits. They figure that self control thing out really quick.<\/p>\n<p>Granted some things do actually take a little effort, like loose leash walking will require a couple laps around the kitchen island, and eventually some actual outings but I think we are getting the idea of how dog trainers, with limited time, are getting the job done.\u00a0 Their dogs are probably not as trained as <strong><em>they\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>would like if they had some extra time, but they are certainly well-trained enough to make a great presentation to you!<\/p>\n<p>Give yourself a break with that busy schedule and try to figure out where you can slip in some good quick training with your canine companion.\u00a0 You will be happy that you did! And those babies will certainly appreciate the attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever notice how the dog trainers dog is almost always the most well-behaved dog in the room?
