Saying Please to ask for a treat.
We taught our dog to say please, which we used to have to prompt for, now when I ask if she wants a treat, or if she wants to go for a walk, or smells something yum in the kitchen, she asks by saying please. 🥰 Life with our Pooch Pals can be really calm and joyful if we work together and can speak the same language. Contact me to discuss behavioural training or obedience/puppy socialisation for your Pooch Pal or as a gift certificate for a family member.

Recall..
If your dog is having issues with recall (or coming back to you when called) try these tips to see a big shift:
1. Always reward them for coming back, NEVER punish/hit/harm them, no matter the situation before they come back to you.
2. Face in the direction you want your dog to run and start running or walking that way, while calling their name.
3. Make your voice high pitched and use fast sounds, increasing volume and intensity as required, and increasing your pace as required to make chasing you way more fun, than whatever they are engaged with.
4. Give treats, pats, loads of praise and play with your dog every time they come to you.
5. Practice recall often at home and when you are out, if they are attuned to you in a low stimulation environment, they will be far more likely to come, in a high stimulation environment.
