How can I tell whether my dog enjoys the music I play?
Our answer
Observe relaxed posture, voluntary staying and no avoidance at moderate volume; preference varies by individual dog and sound.
Why this approach makes sense
Reward the alternative behaviour you want and use short repeatable practice sessions. Identify the trigger before changing the routine.
Before you try it
Keep training positive and avoid forcing a fearful animal to approach the trigger.
