What motivates your dog?

What motivates your dog?
I thought I would share my experience from the weekend, in hope that it will help anyone.

I had forgotten all the toys I use in the ring and on the day, treats weren’t working! We were standing alone in Limit, a “free pass” to the challenge, but Giles didn’t want to move like he can, his head was lower, he just wasn’t playing the game!

Not wanting this attitude in the challenge, I ran off to buy a toy from hub int while open dog was in! We had a game, some fun and then went into the challenge (with new, fluffy, squeaky mouse in my bra!).

Pretty pleased I made the effort and spent £2.50 on yet another toy! We got the RCC behind the eventual group winner!

moral of the story – know what motivates your dog!
