Sure! Let's approach Growth & Expansion within the Primal Games framework, focusing on enhancing exploration, learning, and the pursuit of higher knowledge.

Conceptual Overview of Invoking Growth

• Focus: The goal of the Growth & Expansion session flow is to deepen the expansive and explorative aspects of play, fostering an environment where growth, learning, and curiosity are prioritized. This involves expanding the dog’s skill set and encouraging adaptability and resilience.

Practical Application in the Primal Games

Transition from "This, That, the Other" to "This, Wait… Next!"

• Original Game Dynamics: "This, That, the Other" focuses on exploring various strategies and adapting to different tasks while maintaining engagement and a sense of competent consequent flow between reps.
• Shift in Focus: Transitioning to "This, Wait… Next!" leverages the dog’s adaptability and expands on their ability to handle anticipation and readiness for what comes next. This game enhances the ability to adapt to new challenges dynamically.

Go Do Dog Stuff… or Not

• Dismiss the dog and chill, taking up the next step as a separate session.
• Transition Seamlessly into the new game.
• Slip the esssence of Where is the Handler?, Attention for Access, into the This, Wait… Next game.
• Some combo of the above

Transition from "Which Way?" to "Give & Take"

• Original Game Dynamics: "Which Way?" involves decision-making with multiple directional choices, requiring the dog to think and respond quickly.
• Shift in Focus: Moving to "Give & Take" utilizes the agility and responsiveness developed in "Which Way?" and applies it to a context where quick exchanges and mutual understanding of commands are crucial. This enhances the fluidity and adaptability of the interaction.

Enhancements to Training Focus with Invoking Growth

• Enhance Exploration and Curiosity: Focus on exercises that encourage exploration and curiosity. This might involve incorporating new, varied, or unexpected elements into training that challenge the dog to think and act beyond their usual routines.
• Promote Growth and Learning: Include training components that are specifically designed to expand knowledge and skills. This could be through complex tasks that integrate multiple skills or through introducing theoretical knowledge that supports practical skills.
• Foster an Atmosphere of Structured Potential & Opportunity: Create a training environment that is rich in possibilities and the right kind of opportunities.
