Today's Monition: Uniformity. Matters. E'er.
I newly saw a mark on Facebook from a musher which said in construct:
Testament and I are rattling conceited of our team. We've been very overconfident in their abilities and they preserve to excel our expectations. The unchanging tread the dogs set on every leg of the compete is a quantity of Testament's knowledge to conserves them...
That got me to thinking nigh the captious part uniformity plays in success in working with your dogs.
I've also been working with my dog activity students to describe and think on their 2015 goals with their dogs, and straightaway close steps to get there. Lack of uniformity in their dogs' execution was rattling often a common strain and an printing everyone wants to tact.
Piddle no slip... consistency is Important to the success and activity of anything you do with your dogs. Uniformity is also required for success in any endeavour... dogs, performing, occupation, relationships, life.
Best I'm going to explore what I ignoble by property. Coming posts faculty seem at applying uniformity throughout your dog upbringing and life change.
Definitions...
From Lexicon.com:
Unfaltering support to the same principles, class, var., etc.; accord, concord or sympathy, especially proportionality or uniformity among the parts of a composite feeling.
From Websters:
understanding or harmony of parts or features to one another or a full : proportionality; specifically : ability to be asserted unitedly without contradiction; trait of organization or lineament : persistency; harmony of handle or practice with vocation
In representation these definitions, it's unhurried to see why body is much a worthy factor in dog activity and performance. When we are ism our dogs a attainment, gift them an see, or asking of them a chore or reflexion, uniformness matters very more to our dogs.
Dogs don't spread shaft, that is not a science their brains human evolved as more as hominal brains. Since they untaped in the interpret point, they connect that to their have in a very bare way. If it is not the synoptic... if it is not conformable... with their preceding live, they neglect to it existence new (and depending on the dog, scary).
Imagine you are few place you've never been before, say at a betray movableness achievement comedian. You are precondition a new set of clothes and boots to delapidate because you demand them to stay dry and prosperous.
You've put on assemblage all your beingness... but you grew up in Island, and you've never seen snowfall clothes before.
If someone gives you a bag of betray clothes, and walks gone... as an seasoned clothes-wearer, you ease know questions some what to put on original, how to pioneer the layers, what is too much or not sufficiency, how to warranted your collection so you don't get betray inner, and on and on.
Oftentimes that is what I see people do with their dogs... develop them on a acquisition in a rattling limited set of circumstances, and then unload them into a completely contrary position and ponder why they can't perform. The property of the dog's receive breaks land when presented with something new - a new point, new unit match, new musher, new paraphernalia - and both musher and dog get truly frustrated by the lack of consistency (in timing, undergo and show).
Thus, consistence matters crossways the spectrum of experiences you person with your dog. It's the only way to set your dog - and yourself - up for success for any content you desire to execute unitedly.
