There are some skills that just make life easier and being able to buy ourselves time is something that I think we would all love to be able to do more easily.
One thing that I see people consistently struggling with their dogs is that they often feel rushed by their dog. But it really doesn't have to be this way.
Now of course if our dogs NEED something, then we should move at their pace. Plus there are times that we're just normal people doing normal things and we're going to give our dogs things simply because they indicated they wanted it.... and that's not a problem in most normal circumstances.
But a skill that I recommend people practicing with their dogs, no matter what age but the earlier the better is to practice waiting when asked. It could be for simple life rewards such as getting to 'go' once they've waited by your door as you've brought the shopping in and out. It could be while we put their leash on so that we're not scrambling around teaching them that they can outrun us.
The skill of being able to go 'wait' there until it's clear to move again has to be used carefully, not to trap and not to bully, but when practiced well can be one of the best skills we teach them. It can be for their safety or our sanity.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
