🍫🤎R A L P H🤎🍫

I had the absolute ✨pleasure✨ of teaching this sweet little chap in group puppy classes. His lovely humans selected a puppy training package so I've been fortunate enough to see him for 1-1 training as well. 😁

We covered lots of life skills in puppy classes such as -
• Impulse control
• Socialisation
• Leave & drop
• Engagement
• Recall
and loads more!

In Ralph's 1-1 we were able to work on his confidence around unfamiliar dogs and also develop his loose lead walking 😊.

Got a puppy and want to make sure you get them off to the right start? Get in touch! ⭐

📌 Training Tip Tuesday 📌

Reward calm behavior, not just cues/commands you have asked for!

Owners can unintentionally reinforce hyperactivity by giving attention when their dog is jumping or barking. 😬

Instead, try rewarding your dog when they’re calm e.g. lying down, sitting quietly, or relaxing nearby. This helps to teach your dog that calmness gets your attention, not chaos! 🙌

🦄 Monday Myth Busting 🦄

❌ Myth: Another common myth I hear all the time is that dogs can only see in black and white. 👀

✅ Truth: In reality, dogs do see colour, just not in the same way we do. They largely see blues and yellows with greys and muted tones. They have little to no perception of reds and greens 🩵💛.

This is because dogs have two types of colour receptors (cones) in their eyes, while humans have three. They are what's known as dichromatic! So while their world isn’t as vibrant as ours, it's definitely not just black and white 🖤🤍.

✨ Super dog of the week ✨

🤩 L E I A 🤩

Our super dog of the week is Leia who has been working really hard on being more confident around other dogs. Leia's family told me she recently engaged in play with an unfamiliar dog which is HUGE for her!

Well done to Leia and her lovely family 🥰.

🤓 Fun Fact Friday 🤓

Dogs can actually “catch” yawns from humans! 😴

This contagious yawning happens because dogs are highly attuned to human emotions and behaviour. Catching yawns in this way has been found to be a sign of empathy! If your dog sees you yawn, especially if you're someone they’re close to, they might yawn too!

Hello lovely people,

Please note that all sessions must now be agreed upon and scheduled during your consultation/completion of registration form. This ensures I can tailor services to your specific needs and allocate the appropriate time and resources for your session.

In addition to this, as my little business continues to grow, I need more time to train dogs and work with clients so this reduces the amount of time I am having to spend chasing people up.

***If you have outstanding sessions, please contact me asap to get these booked in as the next couple of months are getting filled up.***

📌 Dog Training Tip Tuesday 📌

Mark the moment with a “Yes!” or a click (if your dog is clicker trained).

I say it so often but timing is everything in dog training!! The moment your dog does the right thing, use a marker word like “Yes!” or a clicker to let them know they've nailed it 💪.

Doing this pairs the behaviour with a reward! This helps to build clarity, confidence and drive in your dog 🙌.

🐾🐶 Example: Dog sits → You say “Yes!” or click the clicker→ Treat follows! 🐶🐾

🦄 Monday Myth Busting 🦄

❌ Myth: Mixed/cross breed dogs are always healthier.

✅ Truth: While they can have a broader gene pool, mixed/cross breeds can still inherit genetic disorders from both parents, especially if those breeds share similar risks. It's also important to consider lifestyle as mixed/cross breeds aren't immune to poor diet, inappropriate exercise or lack of veterinary care.

Our Tilly is an excellent example of how this theory is utter 🐂💩. She's a Belgian Malinois x Rottweiler and has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), a lifelong condition which requires daily medication.

✨ Super dog of the week ✨

🤩 B E N N Y 🤩

Our super dog of the week is Benny who has been working really hard on his focus around other dogs and people!! He even managed to resist some people trying to get his attention which is HUGE!

Well done to Benny and his lovely family 🥰.

Here's a video Mike took of Tilly enjoying her pool yesterday evening! Murphy has no time for this water nonsense and prefers to snooze on the cool tiles 😆.
