Session 1 waiting for the pups to arrive.

It’s always exciting but also slightly apprehensive before the first class as the pups and people dont know each other but they soon settle in ♥️

First of all we assessed the things that Mabel struggles with regarding distractions. We also tested what her most valuable rewards are and made a recall plan which included:

1. Pairing up the whistle to mean move and chase
2. A skills based disengagement game to help with breaking away from distractions.
3. Waiting for the go ahead from her owner before going to play.
4. Teaching her that coming in from the garden is worth it!

We also considered her breed and searching and finding tasks to add to her routine.

Brian 18 week old working cocker

The initial plan for the session was recall and lead walking, however we soon realised that his recall was amazing he was coming back every time even from dogs. So we needed a quick change of plan on what to focus on during the session, what actually was the sticking point.

Current challenges for Denise are squealing with excitement on leaving the house and entering the park. This was the bottleneck not the recall or the pulling.

Predictability for dogs is sometimes good but sometimes it can create over arousal and excitement which can then be hard to reverse. Walking at the same time each day can create this predictability and over arousal. So we have put alternatives in place to prevent this happening so that putting the harness on doesn’t mean tipping over into over excitement, Brian isn’t then squealing with excitement and he is growing the skills to grow into a calm adult dog.

Sometimes it takes abit of detective work and talking to get to the sticking point so that we can focus on the right thing and get better results 💪🏻

Lead pulling is not often about 1 thing and just the actual training on a lead. It’s often a mixture of things that all work together to help with excitement and calmness and working around distractions.

Winston is going to work on this for a couple of weeks and then I will be back to develop the training further 😊

Max is such a cutie and his owner is so committed to making things the best for him.

So far we have worked on nipping, jumping, basic recall, going to bed and lead walking. He’s doing really well and getting really good at being calm.

Next week we are ramping up the recall 💪🏻♥️

While it is so so hot and too hot to walk our dogs how about doing some really simple lead training inside the house instead with your dogs daily food….

A couple of minutes a couple of times a day walking in different directions with your dog following you for the food can really help with lead training. The more you build value in being near to you the easier your lead training will eventually become.

Putting the lead on in the house and walking around the kitchen table or sofa can also help your dog to calm down if they are wanting attention or over excited in general and then they can often settle better afterwards😊
