How Does Your Dog Deal With Frustration?

One of the TOP pieces of advice I now give to people. Over the course of my dog training, owning and handling career, there have been (or are currently) a lot of things I’m passionate about. Crate training your dog Boundaries in the home Structure for your dog Accountability and consequences for behavior On and on. But most recently to add to the list is this: . TEACH YOUR DOG HOW TO HANDLE FRUSTRATION Teach your dog how to handle the frustration of being contained. At some point in your dog’s life, they are going to be put in a box. And if your dog doesn’t have that frustration tolerance, it’s going to be unpleasant for everyone. Teach your dog how to handle the frustration of being restrained...like physically. Your vet appointments wouldn’t be as traumatic if you teach your dog how to handle physical restraint. Clipping your dogs nails or giving them a bath would be much easier if you teach your dog to be ok with physical restraint. Teach your dog the frustration of wanting to get to something and not being able to. That dog over there? Yeah, you can’t have that. The squirrel that is about to run across three lanes of oncoming traffic? Yeah, you can’t have that. That food on the counter? The pill that dropped on the floor? Yeah, you can’t have those. Teach your dog to handle frustration of being away from you. Separation anxiety would be less common if more dogs were simply taught to be ok being alone on the other side of a door. To be ok being away from you at all. I could literally go on and on and on about this topic but I’m running out of characters😂 . So, if there is anything at all, you can take away from this account-PLEASE- learn to teach your dog how to handle being frustrated. Have you taught your dog how to be alright with frustration?
