🔸Teen Dog Skills🔸

Fabulous final lesson of our Teen Dog Skills course today 🥹

My favourite part of today’s session has to be watching the humans making some really brilliant, conscious choices like remembering to relax their leads and giving their dogs processing time before panicking (it really does make all of the difference)!

Just LOVEDDDD this amazing group!!😍

3 things to know if you’re a first time puppy parent 🐶

Dog parenting certainly can be an art form at times. Balancing enough rest with enough exercise with enough enrichment, it’s a lot.
Not to mention the absolutely shock that comes when your puppy hits adolescence😅

If you’ve never had a dog before, you might not know these things yet and it surely can be a ✨learning experience✨

So here are some things you need to know about your puppy/teengae dog☺️

This is your sign to wash your water bottle too!!

Something a lot of people don’t realise is that you should be thoroughly cleaning your dog’s food and water bowls every day🫣

This is not about shaming anyone, it’s solely for educational purposes because lots of people don’t know.

I know it probably seems pointless to those of you with dogs like mine who will drink out of the most disgusting water sources but it is very important.

You want them to stay healthy and providing clean, fresh water and bowls everyday is a great way of doing that🙌🏼

If you’re anything like me, you’re an ‘out the door and ready to go’ kind of dog parent but actually, that’s probably the last thing your teenage dog needs🥲

By taking a a few minutes at the start of your walk to get your dog moving and engaged, without just waiting for them to be ‘calm’ (I promise you, they’re rarely actually calm even though they might look it on the outside), you will help lower that initial arousal and set yourselves up for a much calmer and far less stressful walk.

It’s an easy step to skip, I know I certainly skip it (I like to say I’m a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ dog trainer😂) but it will really help even the looniest of teenage dogs.

If you have a teenage dog, I’m giving you permission…🫶🏼

That sounds silly because you really don’t need my permission, or anyone else’s for that matter but I hope it’ll help you feel less guilty about some of the things you are going through with your teenage dog.

Loving your teenage dog isn’t always easy but this phase does end and you are not alone in feeling any of this.

🔸Teen Dog Skills Class🔸

What a fabulous class again today! Had some AMAZING disengagement from some pretty exciting distractions and some lovely lead walking! So proud👏🏼

Honestly, the first thing I did after today’s class was to tell all of my trainer friends how amazing this group is and how much I enjoy this class🥹
