Episode 10 - Challenges and Frustration: How much is too much?

1/30/2024

Today’s question comes from a breeder, but it’s a topic that is applicable to anyone who owns a puppy or dog:

“How much frustration should a puppy have before changing the game a little to make the session successful?

Did the barrier challenge for the 1st time today...he was continually going to the wrong side to a closed section...At the 3-minute mark, I pulled the food bowl so a small portion went beyond the barrier, then placed him back at the starting point again. He was able to complete the challenge then.

Should I have waited him out? I am second guessing myself.”

I have freeze dried medallions I break up and mix in, I have canned (Royal Canin) I try mixing in…anything to get her to eat. What else can I do to get her to eat?”
