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 🐕♥️

Just worth being aware of this year.

It’s always good to watch out for adders while walking your dog. 🐍

DOES YOUR DOG GET THE ZOOMIES?
Scientists aren’t really sure why they happen. But I like to think of it as a dogs expression of the very joy of living 🎈

Otherwise known as FRAPS - Frenetic Random Activity Periods, they are sudden bursts of intense energy lasting a couple of minutes.

The trigger tends to be excitement of some sort, leading to a release of pent up energy and you’ll see your dog running at full pelt, often in circles with their back end tucked under. Other dogs can ‘catch’ the Zoomies and join in.

Scientists do think that the Zoomies serve as a healthy emotional release allowing dogs to let go of stress, frustration or boredom - but whatever the trigger, they are an absolute joy to watch 🐕😍

Does your dog get the Zoomies and why?

NEW - ADOLESCENT TRAINING CLASSES
Adolescent dogs can be difficult to manage. They go from sweet little pups to seemingly having forgotten everything you’ve ever taught them overnight.

Lots of reasons for this which I’ll cover on the course but you’re not alone. In fact 60% of dogs handed in to rescue are between 6-24 months old.

That’s why I’ve designed a specific course to help you through this period.

What we’ll cover:

Specific training skills to have your dog listening to you and doing what you ask.

Teaching your dog how to control their own behaviour in all situations.

Outdoor manners - walking on the lead, meet and greets, socialisation, recall.

Dog psychology, body language, play, rest and nutrition.

AND LOTS MORE depending on the class needs.

In 5 sessions you’ll learn all the skills you need to understand what’s happening to your dream dog and how to navigate this time with a plan, new skills and new friends.

Classes start on the 6 September (Saturday) in Melton Mowbray and we will be working inside and out in the park.

The cost is £24 per session/ payment of £120 to secure your place.

WHAT IS A HUFF?

When a dog Huffs it it a signal to the social group that danger has been detected.

A huff is a quiet, short gruff sound as the dog expels air in a quick burst.

They may do a few Huffs one after the other.

In the wild dogs or wolves will come in close together when they hear this sound.

Although we have domesticated dogs you will still hear this sound from your dog or perhaps a dog you are approaching.

It shouldn’t be ignored as your dog is trying to communicate something.

Observe what you dog believes to be the issue and then take appropriate action.

It could be crossing the road, shortening the lead , reassurance or whatever is appropriate in the situation.

Does your dog Huff? When does it happen?
