How to Play with Your Dog with Puppy Prodigy Jenga Golden Retriever

What's more important than being consistent? Being clear. Clarity provides opportunities and boundaries for your dog. Play gives your dog a chance to express their emotions in drive while still keeping structure and holding them accountable to the rules.

Far too often owners don’t focus on the various rules of games, how to use play as a confidence builder and primary reinforcer. Just like in sports - basketball, football, soccer, etc… there are rules within the game. Same goes for play with your dog.

Watch this video of puppy prodigy Jenga, a 5 month old Golden Retriever working through the play window, as well as the “all done” window. Using your windows appropriately will teach your dog how to flow through different states of drive, as well as use negative punishment in a way that will teach your dog not to check out during sessions.

Watch out for the 3 natural counter moves - a head shake, a pull back or a re-grip! And when your dog offers one of these, let them win often!
