Episode 43: Importance of Acclimation
<p>This episode explores the critical importance of acclimation for dogs in training and competition environments. Petra and Laurie share practical insights on how to read your dog's signals, establish routines, and give your dog the time they need to succeed in distracting settings. Our dogs are not robots. They heed time to acclimate to the environment and shift their focus to us. Given enough time, we get awesome engagement.
