Just wondering ,when your training your sport dog or working dog, do most people give their dogs a break from training every so often.If your doing some training every day how often should you give them a break and for howlong?Train a month, givem a week off or something like that.
Just wondering what other people do.
Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
David we might have a rest from bite work for a week or couple of days off tracking ,depends on the dogs and at what level they are working at . It's good for the dog also good for us to re group and reflect just hang out .Peter

Depends on your training schedule, but has more to do with your dog.
If your dog's drive is still sharp and there is no sign of burnout you can train. If there are issues and you think they have to do with overwork then you rest the dogs.
Using frustration/isolation and short intense training sessions is what I have found to be the best way to work. After work comes down time as pet or companion. . .then back to the kennel for the night. I adjust that schedule as necessary to keep the dog's interest and drive at peak level.

We rotate the training. The male wants to work everyday, but will rotate phases and focus only on what needs to be worked on/worked through. Dogs is also given time off to relax and recoup, but he then drives everyone crazy because he wants to work.
Much better than last year, as he was not getting worked consistently due to multiple circumstances.
