Welcome, and thank you for checking out my channel! I've been a dog trainer for many years (of which 18 years of experience with training service dogs) and here I share my journey with my own dog Sabra. He got attacked as a puppy by an off lead dog and became reactive to live in general. I'm a certified concept trainer, and the last 5 years I've been studying the geeky science behind dog behaviour. I'll share my funny moments, and probably some dog training along the way! If you have behaviour struggles, message me!
Day 8: Why 'Middle' Is a Game Every Dog Needs to Learn!
Welcome to Day 8 of the New Year’s Dog Training Challenge! 🎉 This game is a fantastic way to build your dog’s confidence, improve their recall, and create a 'safe space' even when you’re on the move. Whether your dog feels unsure about people, kids, or other dogs, or you just want a fun recall exercise, this game has you covered.
Why this game works:
✔️ Provides a safe place for nervous or unsure dogs
✔️ Builds confidence through positive reinforcement
✔️ Strengthens recall and focus
✔️ Makes training fun and rewarding for dogs of all ages
With just a few minutes a day, you’ll see your dog’s confidence grow, making walks and social situations so much easier. 🐾 Give this game a try and let me know how it helps your dog!
How To Play:
How To play:
1. Start with food in both hands
2. Lure your dog around the back of your leg with one hand
3. Reach between your legs with your other hand to lead them into “middle”
4. Feed when they are in position to reinforce that as the place of value. Aim to keep them standing
5. Throw a piece of food forwards to release your dog from position
6. Build flexibility by bringing your dog into middle from both sides.
How does this game help?
- Grows value for being close to you and paying attention to you
- Improves body awareness
- Gives your dog a safe place to hang out (a boundary on the move)
- Adds fun to your recall
If you're curious where I've learned about a lot of these games feel free to have a look here. I don't make these videos specifically for this, I just share links that helped me and I might get a few points of credit towards new learning so I can keep on sharing with you guys!

Excellent game! Thank you ❤
Oh thank you! Hope you're enjoying the challenge!
Fabulous, helpful tips ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
❤
Thank you! I hope you're enjoying the games together with your dog!
❤❤❤
Thank you! I hope you and your dog enjoy the game too! 🥰
Often it's those little things that can have the hugest impact. I have been doing this with my dog and indeed, it helps my dog understand that something going on in the environment is nothing to worry about, and that I have his back. Not only helps your dog cope do much better but enriches your relationship deeply. Golden advice ❤
Thank you for sharing! It's such a great game, but because results tend to "sneak in" it's hard to understand how powerful it can be! ❤️
💡 Now the fun begins ❤
I hope your dog enjoys it too! ❤️ Mine certainly has fun with it whenever we play 🥰
Such a beautiful, heart warming relationship you have with each other
Thank you so much for your message 🥰 I do love working with him, even if rehabilitating his behaviour ever since he got attacked has been hard, but very gratifying work ⭐️
Beautiful ❤. A great way to exercise your dog ... love ❤
Thank you! Mine certainly has a lot of fun with it! 🥰
Or, hear me out on this one, or… you just take your dog for a walk😮mindblown🤯
Thank you so much for your reply! Of course walking our dogs is a great way to exercise our dogs. The point of the video is that it's not the only way you can exercise your dog. Sometimes everyone has reasons come up where you're a bit shorter on time, or days where you're under the weather and won't be able to take your dog for that lovely hour long walk, and that's when these simple short games are really great to still get them busy so they can feel satisfied! That's why this is an indoor activity which you can just as well take outside if that fits you better 😉
@ you cannot be serious, this is a f**ng joke!
❤ this is a wonderful game ❤
Thank you, it's been so much fun to play around with it!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you 🙏
Smart doggo 😅
haha yeah he is, he keeps me on my toes!
Gorgeous doggo ❤
Thank you so much! He's to clever for his own good at times 😂♥️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ is that why they're never tried of playing
That's a great question! I think like people in a way, they get used to what they do. The further they walk, the more distance they start to need in order to get tired ;)
❤❤❤❤❤🎉
💖
Well I am borderline so now I feel bad for my dog 😢
I'm familiar with borderline, it's not easy to live it! I know that dogs can be great companions no matter how you feel, as they are much more forgiving than people 💖. They are great at reading emotions, and many of them will naturally try their very best to make you feel better, even if we people don't always see it like that. I think your dog is lucky to have you.
Ok i know that But... Just cant ignore the cute pomarian puppy u kept😅😊❤
It's so very cute!
Why?
Temperatures in cars rise much quicker than they do outside. In the car your dog (or child) are at risk of dying from the heat really fast. This is of course depending on the climate you live in :) "If the outside temperature is a pleasant 24C and your car is in the sun, within 10 minutes it can reach 38C inside. Within 30 minutes it'll be approaching 50C." I hope this helps!
nice
Thank you 🙏
Nice
Thank you, I think it's so important for people to realise how dangerous it can be for both little kids and dogs alike! 🐾
no shit
Thank you for your reply, is there anything you would love to see in the future?
That was how my dog died it snapped it’s neck from them getting a stick
Thank you for sharing that, I'm so sorry that happened to your dog. I've sadly heard a lot of accidents concerning dogs and sticks. Might have to make a short about that to warn people.
100th like
Thank you! I love your enthusiasm.
@@melioradogsdon’t be sarcastic
If you own a dog you teach them otherwise don't own a dog.
To each their own, but I do agree. I think life with a dog that's not trained can be very challenging! Thank you for taking the time to reply.
No my dog can not.
Gchvfbhctg😂❤
Perhaps in the future I can post a tutorial and help you out if you wish :)
@@melioradogs that would be great thank you. I don’t know the first thing at training a dog.
Certainly! I've added it to my list, so stay tuned!
Water can help you hydrate, but not every liquid is water 🤯. Fr though this is the dumbest/lowest effort short I’ve ever seen. Get an new AI program or give up on videos if you made this, it’s so god damn stupid it hurts
Many things are very dangerous, thank you for sharing facts🌟 it may save a life
Thank you!
It can also mean theyre taking in the information theyre seeing. Like learning. Or curiousnous, also learning. A dog can be agressive and and be growling and wag its tail likethis.
That's very true! there's many different reasons for it. I love it, thank you for taking the time to share!
This really worked
It does for me and my dog :)
New research from today's muffins, don't mean much ,
To each their own! I do think that research can help! Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your opinion.
That's a lie!
thank you for taking the time to share your opinion! I'm always open to learning about new research if it's available!
I knew that concept is bullshit.
I personally agree! I've found it to be much better without using that concept. Thank you for replying.
No such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.
Thank you for your reply! I agree with you that there is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic dog. The clip is simply a little clip with what's being said :)
No shit sherlock, and them wagging their tail means they are happy! I know, i know...youre wellcome.
There is just no way i will throw a cookie at my dog..
Neither do I, that's why I throw in the grass ;)
Dogs are good
Gotta love them !
165 compared to the millions of words and gestures a human can understand. stop comparing dogs to humans.
Thank you for sharing that!
So cute❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😄😄😄
😁
maybe put some effort into your videos when you upload something, else it turns into a waste of time and brain cells

No it's too fan there buttholes
Am I the only one who read it as "When the zombies hit" ?
haha sorry no zombies here yet!
When the zoomies hit
Thank you
You could use a couple more seconds to explain why and what also does mean.
Thank you for your idea! In general these are just meant as quick info tips, not an entire blog as to the how's and why's though I might make a proper video on the topic in the future!
no sound???
Thank you for your reply! I'll try add in sound in future videos!
@@melioradogs no problem!
Is that the dog of the... "wenomechainasama"
I don't believe so, but I could be wrong!
just so buitiful that face is amazing
I love that little clip too!
