Description
Fetch gets such bad press. It’s all too often billed as an activity that does nothing but gets dogs amped-up and stressed-out. As a result, dogs everywhere are being denied access to something that’s natural, normal, and hugely enriching. I really don’t know where this all started or why so many trainers and owners state “fetch is bad for anxious dogs as it makes it hard for them to calm down”. There is zero evidence to support this. In fact, we do have volumes of evidence that not providing animals with access to activities they are genetically wired to do (like fetch) is bad for their anxiety. That’s why it’s time to set the record straight. Tune in as I explain why fetch is so good for anxious dogs, and how you can mitigate any concerns you might have about playing ball with your dog.
