I started Paws On The Move over 10 years ago to provide dog walking and pet visiting services to the Moray region in North East Scotland on an occasional or regular basis, including visits to livestock as well as companion animals. Having owned dogs with behavioural issues and through spending time in resolving their problems, I gained an interest in behaviour and training and am now pleased to be able to offer help to owners who find themselves in similar situations. I understand the challenges to be faced and sacrifices which have to be made when deciding to accept a furry friend into your household and when looking after them can turn into a chore.

1 to 1 puppy training in your own home can be tailor made to your specific requirements. First time dog owners may need help at this exciting time whether it be assistance in getting ready for the pup to come home, puppy proofing the house or feeding requirements. Puppy class for puppies 12 weeks + held at King Memorial Hall, Grange covering
issues such as how to deal with teething, chewing, house training, basic obedience and more. I offer guidance and assistance on a range of behavioural issues including separation anxiety, reactivity, jumping up, nervous or shy dogs, lunging and traffic chasing. Whether you need to go out but are unable to take your beloved pets with you or perhaps work during the day and are unable to walk them, I can provide a walk for your canine companions or pop in and see them and check they are safe and well, have some playtime and feed them if you wish, leaving you free to enjoy your day out with the knowledge that your friends are having some fun as well. All dogs will be walked safely on the lead unless specified by you and agreed in writing with you beforehand. If I can help you in any way, please contact me and I will be delighted to hear from you.

REMEMBERING ARCHIE

When I posted my pictures last week there was a big labrador sized omission.

Recently Archie's family had to make the heartbreaking decision to put Archie to sleep.

I had walked Arch for nearly 11 years and was always welcomed with a big booming bark which would echo through the house. He loved a swim even in the depths of winter, was friendly with everyone we met and had great fun with all the dogs I took him out with.

Apparently he was a bit mischievous when a pup and on one occasion had plastic tupperware removed from his stomach!

It was an absolute pleasure knowing Archie and I am sure all our thoughts are with his family.

Training Tip

Yesterday in all 3 training classes "focus" played an important part in what we were doing. Whether that was pups, older dogs or rally class, they all needed to pay attention to their owners.

Focus on the owner is a fundamental part of training which underpins all the things we want to do with our dogs, it builds a bond and starts the process of working together as a team. If we don't have our dogs' focus, their attention will go to all sorts of other distractions which will be much more rewarding than listening to us.

It is easy to start learning focus, just show your dog a treat in your hand, then put your hand up to your face just by your eyes, this means that your dog watching the treat is also looking up to your eyes. Praise and reward your dog for looking up to this area, initially straightaway, but then gradually increasing the amount of time before praising and giving the treat up to about 20 seconds as well as giving a cue word such as "watch". If you don't increase the time before reward, then they will never be able to concentrate for more than a few seconds.
