Teaching Your Dog Impulse Control

Click here for a link to the video that demonstrates 'Zen', a game that is a great way to train impulse control.  Trainer Donna Hill does a very clear demonstration and explanation in this video, with good progression.

The dog in the video was a shelter dog, surrendered to the shelter for lack of impulse control. And was adopted as a result of this video! How great is that?!

Any games we play with our dogs is enriching for them (and us!).  Even if our dog is a good dog, free from the trials so many dogs experience, the more fun and varied things we have in our toy/tool boxes, the more full our lives with them will be.
