Can your dog do "nothing"?
Tails is a young cocker spaniel who gets really excited in new places and around new things. And can be vocal. She is an excellent little dog but can find it hard when she is left to her own devices. She will willingly engage with her human the whole time but when left to her own devices, she fulls the gap with barking. Here, we are starting to reach her to do "nothing."
Now, obviously, she can't do nothing, just being alive means she is doing something. Watch the video a couple (or more) times. Look at the golden in the background working with Aileen. You see times when he is just chilling, sitting, watching the world do by. Being able to do this is as desirable and necessary as being able to engage with us (which Tails has no issue doing).
Working type dogs need to be worked but if we constantly engage with them, they don't develop the skills of doing things on their own. "Just tell me what to do and I'll do it" is all well and good until the dog can't do the thing we need them to do, like settle or sniff on their own.
We worked with a couple recently who had a similar issue. We asked them to count how many times they looked at their dog during a 10 minute meal. 150+ times. That's more than once every 4 seconds between them. No-one needs that much attention and we end up constantly reinforcing the dog attending to us.
How to start with this outside - start small. Stop and look casually around your dog (not deliberately "ignoring" them, but no direct gaze) for 2-3 seconds, then move on. Practice regularly. Then gradually increase the time, then do it while moving. Teach your dog to settle. When playing games, pause for a few seconds mid game. We can build these little breaks of "nothingness" into our lives with our dogs.
Tails has the opposite issue most people have, too much engagement with her human. It's still an issue.
Lastly, genetics is only part of it. Tails us a working cocker spaniel, bred to be a good soldier, take instruction, do as she's told. This cam develop into dependence. The golden is bred as a pet dog, to be more easy going. Genetics is important but we can build and reinforce the behaviours we want.

Young Duke, the OES. He is super, super friendly and excited around people and dogs. He loves life which means be can start to get vocal when he doesn't get to greet them. We worked on building those skills.
We're taught to socialise our puppies but often not how to. Proper socialisation is not about ticking off a check list and meeting dozens or hundreds of new people and dogs. If we're not also teaching our dogs HOW we are missing a piece of the puzzle.
Social skills -
1. Navigate mutually consensual interactions well and within societal rules
2. How to deal with being told that the other dog does not want to say hello
3. How to politely and socially disengage when the other dog wants to say hello and our dig doesn't.
This is the basic framework of what proper socialisation needs to be for our dogs living in a human world and we have to kindly and consistently teach them.
If you need help with this, get in touch for either in person training locally, remote consultations or self study online courses. We can help.
