You’ve just gotten a puppy or adopted a new adult dog and you’ve made so many plans about how it’s going to go! You want to try all the activities, be able to take them everywhere, and to have everyone in the family get along seamlessly! But sometimes you get lost in how to create the dog you want, making sure you lay a good emotional and behavioral foundation that supports their mental health and growth.
Just what building blocks do you need to make sure your dog can be a well-adjusted pet? In this webinar we’ll take a high-level view of challenges like handling environmental overstimulation, navigating social situations to keep them healthy, how to provide structure and predictability they can lean on, and when to set limits. We’ll go over many of the challenges of raising a dog and give you a roadmap to think through preventing problems and meeting their needs.

Flow is defined as “performing an activity fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment”. It’s also referred to by athletes as being “in the zone”. Do dogs experience flow? Can we experience flow as a team? What might that look like? How can we get there?
In this webinar, we will investigate the concept of flow as it relates to arousal for both training and competing in dog sports.
