Love Your Dog Training

Burglar gets a shock - seeing the little dog he thinks he’s safe - but big brother is on the way!

Puppy training is really simple when you have the right skills, but can seem like an uphill battle, particularly if you’re a first time dog owner.

I had a follow up appointment today with Nacho, and was so pleased to see how he was doing. He’s only 4 months but with the right training he’d mastered walking to heel, sit, down, stay and was behaving super well.

However, he was getting very excited greeting not only other dogs but also well meaning people who would rush in to him with high pitched squeaky voices causing him to jump and totally lose the plot.

TIP: if people do this to your dog and you don’t want them to but don’t want to appear rude I say the following: so sorry, my dogs in training today, perhaps another time OR I enlist their help and practice walking my dog in to them with a calm sit and moving away.

I am pleased to report that Nacho did super well today, we had him walking calmly passed dogs and people - way to go Nacho 🐕♥️👌

CAN DOGS HAVE ADHD?
In my experience I have come across a few dogs that I believed had ADHD symptoms. This was at a time when zero research had been done and it was not believed to be possible.

Having ADHD in our family I could see similar behavioural traits that put these dogs over and above just being over adrenalised, hyper or plain naughty.

We now know that Dogs do have similar brain patterns to humans so unsurprisingly may also have neurodivergent traits.

I love how science is constantly moving on and validating things that us dog owners have always suspected 🐕♥️

WHAT IS PREVENTATIVE PUPPY TRAINING? 👇

Meet Petra, she is the most beautiful Sprocker Puppy and just 10 weeks old.

I had an appointment to meet her and her lovely owner this week to set her up for success.

When working with a puppy I’m looking to prevent future problems - I’ve seen enough of the results to know how easy it is for a puppy to get into bad habits which they don’t grow out of.

Yes it’s important to teach all the basic skills too, sit, stay, come etc but even more important is to future proof your puppy. This is going to save you a lot of heartache and frustration.

What exactly do I mean?

Here are a couple of things

1. Socialisation ➡️ if you let your puppy meet every dog they see you will likely get an over excited, hyper dog that’s a nightmare to walk.

2. Use puppy pads? ➡️ you are teaching your puppy that’s is ok to go indoors

3. Let your puppy jump? ➡️ that’ll become default behaviour as it grows up

4. Let puppy off the lead too soon ➡️ dont be surprised when at 6 months they ignore you.

And so much more - -

All part of my Happy Puppy Session ♥️🐕

CATCH IT NOW!
Signs your dog is building to an explosion- recognise them? Bear in mind they can go through these stages very quickly.

If you don’t catch your dog in the green light zone you are often going to be too late.

In the orange zone you can still put out the fire by taking action - distracting them, moving them away🧯

Once they are in the red zone it becomes a management situation only. You cannot train a dog in this state of mind.
Just get them the hell out of there. 🔥

Do you recognise any of these signs in your dog? Hope this is helpful, Lynne ♥️🐕

YOUR PUPPY
Imagine a meadow with a well worn footpath running through it. People have walked across it time and time again until a path has formed and the grass doesn’t grow back.

Your puppy’s brain works in the same way. Whatever behaviour they repeat becomes that same well worn path and eventually that little woofing becomes full blown barking whenever anyone walks past your house, or Auntie Jane rewarding cute jumping when she visits becomes uncontrollable behaviour with every guest.

Learn how to train your puppy kindly to help them grow into a dog you can be proud to take anywhere 🐕♥️
