Are You Poisoning Your Dog’s Name?

In this week’s video, we cover:

Are You Poisoning Your Dog’s Name? Did you know that you can poison a cue? What does that mean? A poisoned cue is a cue that has developed a negative association for your dog.

What are some ways you can be accidentally poisoning your recall cue?

Calling their name when something unpleasant is about to happen such as:
• The fun is over and their off-leash freedom is going to end
• They’re in the garden and are called inside where nothing fun awaits them
• Nail trims, bath time, or they grabbed by their collar

However, you can become the master of recall games that can prevent a poisoned cue from ever happening.

Whether you rebuild your existing poisoned cue or come up with a new one entirely, we explore a game in today’s video that is sure to get you on the right path, no matter your dog’s breed, age, or size!
