Walking Paws

19/10/2023

We’ve had an absolute blast training and walking your dogs, however our trainer Chloe has been offered to do 5 days a week at her job until Christmas so unfortunately she will not be able to continue until at least the New Year.

Working with your dogs has been the best experience, and we’ve learned so much over the past year and a half. Thank you everyone who has let us engage with their dogs. We’ll reopen bookings as soon as we’re back!

We hope see you all in the New Year!

A lovely, calm walk with Giz this morning. We even saw his friends and had a cute reunion! We’re always so happy to see Giz happy! 🐾

Some beautiful lead walking from Giz this morning! Look at the ‘J’ shape in the lead and his focus, wow!

Whenever he went in front of us, we gave some slight pressure on the lead and walked in the other direction to get him to realise he needed to be walking with us and not leading the way.

Great job as always, Giz! 🐾

We’re back again this morning with the Orientation Game! Giz loved this game, and he responded really well to it. This game increases your dog’s proximity, increases recall reliability, and makes you the highest value to them. By dishing out treats left, right, and centre, you’re where they want to be! 🐾

Giz was so happy to be out with us this morning. We worked on loose lead walking and confidence building through positively enforced game based training. We love you Giz! 🐾

Scatter Feeding!

This is a great tool for disengagement. By looking at the floor and sniffing out food/treats, Giz is unaware of the people and dogs passing by. This also builds focus on the handler as your dog will look to you as they know you’re a higher value (because you’re dropping food) than the distractions around them.

Today we’ve been practicing more of being calm and controlled around other dogs, and also more proximity and recall work! Lots of games today! Great job as always, Giz! 🐾

DMT (Distrsction, Mark, Treat) with Giz!

Today we focused on Giz becoming more confident in the presence of other dogs. Especially as it is getting warmer now everyone is getting their dogs out earlier, Giz needs to be confident being around groups of dogs! As Giz is a nervous dog, it is important to build his confidence everytime we go out.

We went back to Stage 1 of this game as we needed to refresh Giz’s memory of it. This stage involves saying good everytime your dog is looking away to build value in the word and get them to realise that you are the better option than the distraction. We will continue to work on this in the future! Good job Giz! 🐾
