Lead the Way Dog Training – Creating happy ever afters one tail at a time

Building Your Dog’s Independence! 💜

Today for #TrainingTipTuesday, we’re talking about how we, the hoomans, sometimes unknowingly contribute to our furry companions’ attachment — which can lead to separation anxiety. 😟

As your dog grows into adolescence and adulthood, you may notice new or challenging behaviors. 🐶 Socialization and teaching independence are key to helping them feel calm and confident!

Here are a few quick ways to promote #independence:

1️⃣ Set your dog up with a snuffle mat.
2️⃣ Fill a Kong with frozen peanut butter.
3️⃣ Offer tasty 🦴 chews like bully sticks or Nylabones.

If you’re struggling with leaving your dog home alone or introducing them to new dogs or humans, don’t worry — it’s not too late! The #LeadTheWay team is here to help you and your pup live your best life together. 💜
