🎉 PUPPY COURSE 🎉

Do you have (or are you getting) a puppy? Would you like to teach them to listen well? Do you have an older puppy and would like to go back to basics to help them listen better? This course is for puppies whose humans would like to teach them the basics in an environment with controlled distractions. Your dog MUST be happy around other dogs and people.

We have TWO spaces on a course running Mondays 6.00pm - 7.00pm, starting 28th September 🎉

Would you like to teach your puppy useful behaviours such as:

✔️Attention to name (the start of all training!)
✔️Sit (impulse control)
✔️Down (impulse control)
✔️Stay (impulse control)
✔️Coming when called (could save their lives)
✔️How to settle (if you want to take your dog to the pub/cafes)
✔️Loose lead walking (so your arm isn’t pulled out of the socket!)
✔️How to leave it (could save their lives)
✔️Controlled greetings (to teach them how to interact appropriately with dogs)
✔️Positive reward based training
✔️MAXIMUM OF 5 dogs

Plus a lot of other exercises which are useful in real life.

Please contact us for more information or to book a space.

No need to worry about the fireworks after Teignmouth Carnival tonight…they are having a laser show instead 🙌🙌🙌

We've had a few messages of concern asking what time our fireworks are... There's no need for concern as we are having a LASER SHOW from our main stage this year instead at 10pm (edit, apologies posted wrong time earlier it's been a long day!)
So no need to worry about what time the sky will start banging!
We understand that some may be disappointed at this, but have taken into consideration the distress fireworks can cause to pets, people, the animals at Shaldon wildlife trust, farm animals and wildlife that can take no precautions at all against the effects fireworks have on them, while still putting on a great show of lights!

Look at that lead…

When you have a donut dog who likes to chase squirrels… she jumped through the fence to try and chase one then back over the top of the fence when the squirrel changed direction 🤦‍♀️

What’s the funniest thing your dog has done?

What to do when your dog is bored at home because they can’t go for a walk…go and buy them a new toy 🙈 thanks healthypetshopdevon

THE RISKS OF BAD SOCIALISATION

Often we think of “socialisation” as allowing our puppies to play with other dogs freely, in fact some companies even advertise groups of puppies/dogs together etc (e.g. puppy parties) as “good socialisation”. If done well, with management in place, they can be a positive experience but the majority are just free-for-all’s. Play is not the real meaning of socialisation though and has risks attached to it.

Socialisation should mean teaching our puppies to have calm, controlled interactions with other dogs NOT jumping all over them and being left to it.

Playing with other dogs CAN be a positive experience, particularly if it’s brief and interrupted by owners calling their dogs away.

If the dogs are left to “play” and jump all over each other, what we have to ask ourselves is what is our puppy actually learning?

When dogs say hello to each other arousal levels rise and rise and if they continue to “play” without interruptions it will often lead to some sort of aggression from one side which can have long lasting negative effects on your puppy.

If we leave our puppies to “play” without humans interrupting the play, we are either teaching our over boisterous puppies to become bullies and label it as “play” or our less confident puppies may have a frightening experience with another dog, also labelled as “play”.

Whether you have a boisterous puppy or a less confident puppy, we need to teach them gradually and calmly how to interact with other dogs.

We would never leave young children to play without adult interaction or sort it out amongst themselves, so why would we leave our puppies to do the same 🐶

A very successful Puppy Socialisation Session this morning at 8.30am before it got too hot 🐶

The puppies all did a fab job learning to say hello to each other in a socially acceptable manner, AND (equally importantly) learning to hang out near each other happily ignoring each other 👏👏👏 Also a chance to spend 45 minutes with a qualified trainer asking any puppy related questions you have 👍

Socialisation isn’t always about saying hello to everyone and everything.

If you have got a puppy or are getting one soon and would like to join us we have these running every other month for puppies under 18 weeks so our next ones will be September and November. ALL FREE 🐶

Please contact us for further details 🐶
