Engagement Training

Engagement Training

Engagement simply means your dog wants to be with you and he wants what you have (I. E a toy; a piece of food; or handler praise & affection).

If an individual doesn’t have engagement from their dog, how can you expect to be able to train your dog?

How can a person train a dog to do anything, if the dog doesn't want to be with them? If a dog doesn't want what you have, how are you supposed to motivate a dog to perform a given behaviour (such as follow a command)?

Without engagement the only way anyone can get a dog to do something is to FORCE that dog to do what you want it to do.

When you try to force something, you will always be met with resistance.

In this photo you can see the Willingness & Engagement from Zooka (the dog) to his handler Cat.

There is No Leash, No force!

Simply engagement, a bond & good fun.

This dog is happy engaging with his handler.
