🐾OBI🐾
Over excitable around guests and reactivity in walks were both areas we looked at during Obi’s session. We have gone back to basics to teach him what behaviours are expected of him and not reinforcing and rewarding the behaviours we don’t want. This will help build on calm behaviour around guests and before addressing his lead reactivity it’s back to basic loose lead walk training to really help him settle back into walks. Patience really is key here and his owners are really dedicated to putting in the work ♥️🐕

🐾CHESTER🐾
A fantastic follow up for this lovely boy last month. We initially worked on his behaviour when guests came into the home which he is doing amazing with! The final part was his reactivity on lead walks which mostly he is working well with. His owner just wanted help on those times when dogs were closer and what to do on his bad days (let’s be honest we all have them 😂) so we worked on building a calm and quiet response in the local park while slowly decreasing distance and building up time in the area with other dogs. He did fantastic by the end of the session especially with other dogs all around as well as my assistant Rubble. Working on situations like this in a controlled way will help gradually build on the behaviour we are looking for with Chester 🐕

RAWHIDE‼️

Rawhide is such a dangerous treat for your dogs, the chemicals used along with glue are a huge issue. Please, when looking for a tasty treat for your dogs AVOID Rawhide.
There are safer, natural options that your dogs can enjoy without added bleach and other chemicals.
Christmas time in particular you will see a huge variety of rawhide treats on the market for your dogs. So please be aware of the dangers of rawhide‼️

THE BED COMMAND IS NOT A PUNISHMENT 🐾

This command should really be an essential command to teach your dog early on in puppyhood where possible.
It enables the dog to go to their own area to switch off and relax. This takes away over excitement and the build up of anxiety as they expect something from you such as a walk, playtime or just simple affection. If you dog comes to sit and look at you, this is a form of expectant behaviour.
Whereas in fact it is time for them to recharge their batteries and relax which also gives them independent, time away from constant attention which is also so healthy for a dog.

🎃 DOG IN CLOTHES? 🎃
With Halloween on its way you will begin to see the many outfits on the market to dress up your dog.
But did you know dressing up your dog can cause stress and discomfort?!

👻 Dogs communicate through body language and outfits can prevent them from doing so which means other dogs cannot understand how the dog is feeling which may cause an aggressive reaction.

👻 Dogs can regulate their own temperature but by adding extra layers reduces your dogs ability to do this which can cause your dog to overheat.

👻 Clothing can be itchy and restrictive when a dog is trying to do normal activities such as toilet, walk or relax which can cause stress which may lead to sudden changes in behaviour.

It may look cute to see your dog dressed as a pumpkin or a bat but please consider how this may affect your dogs mentally and physically.
Remember, dogs are animals. Not toys or children.

🌟MENTAL STIMULATION🌟
When it comes to exercising your dog it’s important to remember to exercise the mind as well as the body. Just look at some of the benefits of mental stimulation 🐕 🧠

🐾ESTHER & FRANK🐾
Some of my long term followers may remember Frank (although he was a lot smaller then 😂) and here is his sister Esther! Now as you can imagine walking these two is no easy task especially when Frank spots a dog. When he’s alone and away from his home walk he’s a diamond but a big show off infront of his sister. So working with his owner we want to relax him on home walks so he can handle being walked with his just as large sister. He’s such a lovely boy and he has proven he can do it so time to put in the practice ♥️

Happy National Black Dog Day! 🐾

A day for all black dogs to help get the word out to encourage people that are looking at rescuing or adopting a dog to not overlook getting a black dog. They tend to get overlooked for lighter coloured dogs due to what is referred to as “Black Dog Syndrome”
There are a variety of reasons behind this, such as:
🐾 they look scary or angry
🐾you can’t read their expressions clearly
🐾they don’t look good in photos

So let’s help in breaking these stereotypes and share pictures of your own black dogs on this post! And if you are thinking of rescuing please do consider giving the black dogs a look ♥️
Here is my handsome boy who many of you know, Rubble!
