Failure

There's an excellent article over on the Collared Scholar about letting our dogs fail during training.

I recommend a look see by DSF members. Full Article

But the problem is, when we are always there catching them when they fall, when we are always helping instead of making them think on their own, we aren’t allowing them the chance to learn to problem solve. And if they learn they can always lean on us for guidance, they will stop trying so hard when things get tough and instead look to us and ask “what do I do next?”

We need to be strategic about failure in our training.
