Are you curious about box feeding?
Have you never heard of box feeding, but have a busy, antsy, or stressed dog?
Ben Perkins, a Physical Therapist, Adjunct Professor in Neuro Conditions, and Dog Uber Nerd, will take you on a deep dive into the realm of Box Feeding. While at first the name and idea sound simple, the focus is on teaching a skill not a behavior. Box feeding is a wonderful way to create a predictable training space we can take with us, and to communicate the ways we will interact with the dog and reinforce the dog. Ideal for busy, antsy, or stressed dogs, Box Feeding helps dogs learn how to cope with and in high-energy or trying situations. Ben has a passion for helping people and dogs become the best they can with what they have, building interest in ongoing learning and exploration, and helping (and living with) high energy, high drive dogs.
