Have you tried Pattern Games with your rescue dog yet? Libby and her reactive dog Daisy use them all the time! Here they're playing Look At That on a busy restaurant patio while waiting for burgers. ☺️

We've found they can be a game changer for so many dogs who are adjusting to a new home, by building predictability and confidence amidst big changes. In this audio clip from the pod, Leslie McDevitt herself explains one of the reasons why.

Behavior is an interaction between an animal and their environment.

What your dog does changes the environment, and that change influences what happens next.

For example: A dog paws a bell by the back door. Their human opens the door. Now the dog can go outside — which he likes. So he’s more likely to paw the bell again.

We’ve been talking about dog behavior for five seasons… But what exactly is behavior, anyway?

Season 6 dives deep into this and much more! Follow along and make sure you subscribe to Pod to the Rescue wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss it.
