If your dog has unlimited access to toys all day, every day, don’t be surprised when they feel meh about them during training. Motivation comes from value, and value comes from scarcity. When toys are always available: - They become background noise - Your dog self-rewards without you - Engagement with you drops - Training rewards lose power But when toys are earned, something powerful happens. 🎯 You become the gateway to fun 🎯 Toys regain excitement 🎯 Your dog works harder and focuses longer 🎯 Play becomes a high-value reward in training Think of toys like money. If you had unlimited cash, would you work as hard for it? Probably not. Same concept for your dog. 👉 Action step: Put toys away. Bring them out only for training, structured play, or as a reward for good choices. End the session while your dog still wants more. Your dog doesn’t need more toys.They need better access rules. This one change alone can massively increase motivation, engagement, and results. 💪🐕 Let me know if you want a follow-up post on how to use toy play correctly in training 👀
