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! |
I agree that we must give off some kind of energy that the doggies interpret, even when I simply entertain thoughts of doing something, and haven't moved a muscle or uttered a word.
