After training, it’s important to give your dog a moment to cool down and settle before offering water. When they’re still highly excited and breathing heavily, the priority is helping their body return to a calmer state. A short cool-down, calm movement and controlled access to water can all be part of a healthy post-training routine. Your dog doesn’t need to go from 100 to 0 — they need to learn how. Training doesn’t end when the exercise does. Teaching your dog to settle after excitement is just as important as the work itself. Calm first, then water. Small routine, big difference. Also,recovery is part of your dog’s health too. After intense activity, their body needs time to gradually return to a resting state breathing, heart rate and body temperature don’t reset instantly. Building a calm post-training routine supports recovery while teaching your dog that switching off is just as important as switching on. #dog #dogtrainer #dogtrainersoftiktok #DogTraining #dogtok
