Novelty

New. It’s new! New objects, sights, smells. Sometimes it isn’t new and sometimes the picture has just changed slightly. For every dog, what they consider to be novel is different. Your dog’s ability to respond to novelty and recover quickly and move on (Disengage) is valuable. This concept is typically worked on in conjunction with other concepts (Confidence, Optimism, Flexibility, Fitness, Disengagement, and more!).
