The question has come up a lot this week - what does it mean to give my dog a job? A lot of us have breeds that are considered a “working breed”, therefore you hear “your dog needs a job” a lot. That’s where the advice tends to stop. So what are “jobs” for dogs? There’s the obvious answers: 🦴Search and Rescue 🦴Drug detection 🦴Bomb detection 🦴Service dog tasks But what if you don’t have the time or need for those things? For starters, my post from yesterday about your dog working for their toy. That’s a start. Jobs can also look like small daily tasks. 🐾Teaching them to bring in the paper. 🐾Sitting at the door and waiting for release when it’s time to go outside. 🐾Walking in a heel or structured walk for a certain amount of time. 🐾Bringing back something you’ve thrown. A “job” for a dog is simply anything that get’s their brain working and results in a reward.
