Boxes and Dogs

Boxes are fun. They are fun for kids and dogs. They are fantastic for confidence building, balance, proprioception, problem solving amongst other things. I use boxes to teach dogs that they can over come fears, to teach bodily awareness, to teach how to get in and on things, and more. It might sounds silly, but some simple box work can really boost your dogs confidence, and it’s a low cost, do it yourself, at home way of beginning confidence building in dogs who could really use a boost.

The video below is just a short example of what you can do with a little creativity, a box or two and a dog. Easy, fun, indoor work, great for the mind and body.

Happy training!
