10 minute miracle:

Set a timer and spend 10 minutes focused solely on your dog, doing whatever it is your dog wants to do—playing fetch, tug, petting.

Check in with your dog to see how she is feeling. Do this by paying focused attention to how she looks and is moving.

Beyond the walk:

Allow time to stop and sniff; ask for behaviours along the way and reward with tasty treats; try a new route.

Provide additional mental stimulation: throw treats in the grass or hide them around the house.

This week's intention:

“I will take time to consider things from my dog's perspective.”
