I think it could be a lot of things. I muse on this a lot. But it is also one of the basics of how we train in obedience versus agility - versus dock jumping versus show training. different collars leads and of course our shoes.
Sets up and trains in the different expectations. But but but - there is something more to it than that. Why do my dogs get excited when I am washing clothes in preparation for a weekend away - I wash clothes every dang week!
I think I muse we humans send out different energy patterns when we decide to do A instead of B or C.
My dogs always know when we go to show weekend - Now some of it is explained by the things we do and the *stuff* that comes out in prep for our outing. But not everything by a long shot.
The human canine bond is still a wonderfull mystery!
