Dog Training Days Off

I believe it is healthy and good to train dogs regularly. Correctly work some objectives several days a week. But also, take one or two days off per week. 

Even the best training transmits some mental and physical stress into the dog and owner. Too much stress, even good stress, can cross over and become bad stress. Mental stress can create physical problems. Physical problems can develop with too much stress and cause mental problems. The mind-body connection should always be considered. Repetitive micro injuries also need to be healed regularly with training rest. 

So, do your homework. I teach students how to properly use their time to work with their dogs. I also encourage them to take strategic breaks during lessons and between lessons. A day or two off each week is a good idea. 

Obviously, most people don't even train their dogs. That isn't the type of students I work with. For them, the bigger question is what is going to be best for their dogs. 

I'd advise the same for you and your dog.

Plan accordingly.
