🚨 Every dog is different. Don't sweat it.

Alter my drill.

If today's drill turned into a circus, your dog is staring blankly at the wall, or you just flat out missed a few days of the program, don't panic. Enrichment isn't a rigid military exercise. You have full executive permission to change the rules or change the timeline to match your life.

Here is the universal cheat sheet to fix any drill in under 30 seconds:

"You have full executive permission to change the rules or change the timeline to match your life."

Adjust the Difficulty

If your dog is checking out, the game is too hard. If they're blowing through it in five seconds and looking bored, it's time to level up.

Make it easier

↓Leave box lids wide open. Let them see the food right on top. Serve frozen toys at room temperature so they get an instant, frustration-free win.

Make it harder

↑Close the boxes completely, stack them, or hide one inside another. Freeze licking layers solid so it takes real tactical persistence to finish.

Clear out the Distractions

If your dog is bouncing off the walls, the room is too loud for their brain to focus.

→Move to a quiet hallway or a boring bedroom. Turn off the TV, close the blinds, and quiet down the environment.

Change the Clock

Shorten or extend based on what's actually happening in front of you.

→Short on time? A 60-second session is plenty. Two minutes of solid sniffing is the mental equivalent of a long walk. Quit while you're ahead.
→Dog on a roll? If they are focused and loving it, hide another round! Let them keep working as long as they are engaged and frustration-free.

Missed a Day? No Big Deal!

Calmmdog is built for real life — not a rigid daily obligation.

→Batch them on your own schedule: If you miss a few days, don't sweat it. You don't have to strictly stick to one drill a day. If you get busy during the week, feel free to double or triple up on your days off. Heck, save all 7 drills for Sunday afternoon! Your dog will love the extended enrichment block, and it fits much better into a hectic work week.
→Jump right back in: Alternatively, just ignore the missed days and run whatever drill lands in your inbox today. You can always go back and tackle the ones you skipped after Day 90. Your blueprint access never expires.
