“This is why I use the Give Me a Break game structure in so much of my training, because it gives the dogs the opportunity to tell me that they want to keep working. It gives them the choice to take on the pressure of social interaction and work, or to take a break. It makes the conversation between us much more dynamic and much less arbitrary. It is the best way I know of letting the dog tell me how much he is ready for and when he is ready for it.”
