Make Lazy Training Work for You
Lazy isn't always bad.
When you love what you do for a living, it’s easy to get caught up in it and take it a little too far. Like a dog trainer teaching a complicated series of behaviors just to see if she can. But sometimes, being lazy and taking shortcuts can pay off, too.
I stole the topic for this month’s newsletter straight out of my own life. A couple months ago, my husband needed open heart surgery. Open-heart surgery is fairly extensive, to say the least. Lots of healing needs to happen and there is a fair amount of pain at the incision site, in the muscles, and where all the wires and tubes were placed for the surgery. He spent a week in the hospital, and then came home to spend another five weeks of recovery in our recliner (lying flat was out of the question – too painful). This month’s newsletter is all about lazy training and how it helped my husband's recovery process AND helped our dogs, who were very eager to greet him after his weeklong absence.
