Do you use rest days for your reactive dog?
Do you ever do rest days/lockdown days/home only days for your reactive dog?
Do you think it helps empty their stress, trigger and cortisol bucket?
How often do you do it?
We often talk about training and management in this subreddit but interested in how everyone promotes rest and restoration. We have a collie with a pretty regular schedule of walks, and I often vary the route to avoid triggers when I think she's more stressed or seen more triggers recently but I've been toying with the ideas of complete rest days where we still do plenty of enrichment at home but gives a complete break from unavoidable triggers out and about. Would love to hear experiences of this.
