Training & Behavioral Benefits of Beef Chews

1. Bonding, building trust: Holding the dry end of a bully stick and letting your dog chew on the other end is a great way to connect while you are both relaxing.
2. Busy dog downtime: Mentally and physically busy dogs such as Miles and other Welsh terriers often take awhile to learn how to relax. It often seems at first as if they only have an “on” switch, and a “off” switch! Providing them with a chew on a regular basis a great way to help teach your dog how to deal with anxiety while also relaxing.
3. Travel, Training Class, Outside the Home: A chew provides your dog with an activity that is calming when traveling, or in any other sort of unfamiliar, exciting, or possibly stressful place. Offering a solid chew to your dog keeps them near you and helps them control their anxiety levels through a self-directed activity. In training class, when there are lots of other dogs around, nothing helps keep a distractible dog focused and calm better than having a bully stick held for them. They will be facing you, and getting out any anxiety through chewing. The funniest thing to see is Miles anxious because he wants to chase other dogs, and in turn chewing harder and harder on his bully stick to distract himself. It really works! The poor guy wants nothing more than to terrorize his classmates, especially when they are tearing through an agility course, but through his chew has an outlet to re-direct and focus his frustration, energy, and anxiety — all while staying in one spot, and behaving himself. With a high prey drive dog, I feel it is extremely important to offer such release when you are putting them in a confined space like a car, small classroom, friend’s home, etc. Give them a tiny outlet, and you will avoid all sorts of unnecessary stress and problems!

    Hi Emma, This is so helpful. I am always looking for ways to build trust with Daisy. And she does love her bully sticks. How do I order from your sponsor? Also, any other ways that you have built trust with Miles let me know! Again, thanks for all your insights. Pam

    Hello Pam! I will shoot them an email and ask about that. I do believe they take orders online via email perhaps?
