The Importance of Excitement in Dog Training
Excitement plays a critical role in the success of dog training, as it can be mistaken for over-arousal. The speaker emphasizes the need for inspiring cooperation between the dog and the trainer rather than using force, as this creates a calm bond that enhances performance. Both high-energy activities, like agility training, and lower-key tasks can benefit from the right balance of excitement and calmness. Optimizing a dog's excitement ensures they remain engaged and responsive during training, rather than becoming overwhelmed or frightened.
