What’s Inside the Book?
From Ball Games to Brain Games: Real Training, Real Focus
What if fetch could be the first step to unlocking your dog’s mind?
Featured Excerpt (from Chapter 8 – Day 8):
Today’s session still involves balls (don’t worry, he’ll be thrilled), but we’re making an important transition—from simple fetch to your dog’s very first approach to nose work.
For your dog, this kind of exercise is a small revelation. It helps him become calmer, more focused, and more mentally balanced. For you, it’s one of the best tools for building a rock-solid relationship.
| Training Progression (simplified) | Trainer’s Notes |
|---|---|
| 1. Classic two-ball fetch | Engage drive |
| 2. Wait for ball to stop | Teach impulse control |
| 3. Ball placed without motion | Trigger nose engagement |
| 4. Grass or cover added | Elevate difficulty |
✨ “We remove the movement. He has to think. The real nose work starts here.”
