Red Robin Dog Training and Behaviour

Catching up with Luna this week ♥️ I hadn’t seen her since July and she’s been doing super well. Just a couple of things needed a bit of a ‘back-to-basics’ since Luna reached adolescence 🐾

March 20th is Dogs in Yellow Day 💛

It is held to raise awareness of anxiety in dogs.

The more people know that a dog wearing yellow needs space, the less stressful life becomes for anxious dogs and their humans. A dog might be wearing yellow for a number of reasons. They could be reactive, fearful, elderly, recovering from an accident, illness or an operation. The last thing they need is to be approached or jumped on by other dogs who wants to play. By helping trend on the day, you can educate pet parents and improve the lives of anxious dogs ~ My Anxious Dog (Link in comments) 💛

Little Border girl Milly smashing focus on our training walk this week - loose-leading like a pro and passing other dogs calmly.
Milly’s family report her much calmer and more chilled since we implemented more brain games in the home too. Well done little one 🥰♥️

Rosa’s human sent me these this week - they’ve been practicing so hard and doesn’t Rosa look smart in her Therapy Dog in Training uniform? 🥰

New Red Robin basic training recruit - Staffy boy Rubble 😍
Rubble was super nervous as a teeny puppy, but thanks to some help from the fabulously force-free team at Somercotes Vets 4 Pets, he’s so much happier and more relaxed around what used to be triggers these days. We are going to be working on some chewing in the home issues, loose-leading and a few other small things to help Rubble to live his best life 🥰🐾

How to do Mondays right - smoosh a Boerboel puppy at 9am, and then spend a lovely hour with him working on focus on walks and traffic desensitisation. Smashed it 👍🏻♥️

Handsome youngster Mavi showing me his best ‘give me more snacks’ face at our initial behaviour consultation earlier this week (FYI - it absolutely worked 🥹🤣)
Mavi was rescued around ten months ago and his humans have done a great job so far in helping Mavi be comfortable around various triggers he wasn’t used to. There are a couple that need a little more help though - men in hoods/hats and puffy jackets. We’re on it 💪🏻

Recall and loose-leading with she lovely Winnie this week, and she SMASHED it! Did she run full speed after a cat? Yes she did. Did she execute an immediate U-turn and come speeding back to us when called? YES SHE DID 💪🏻🥰

Sunny mornings are the BEST for dog walks in the woods 🥰☀️☀️☀️

Rosa has been practicing hard at lots of things, as she wants to be a therapy dog in the future. She was much calmer at this week’s session, and her ‘settle while we sat for a chat’ was super good, as you can see! 🥰🐾

A lovely behaviour consultation with little 2 year old Shih-Tzu x Poodle Sweetie this week, starting to work on calmness in the house and some resource guarding issues. Sweetie enjoyed our session so much, and it was lovely to have senior girl Molly (14) join in as well 🥹🥰

Starting the week off with a lovely walk around a Notts country park with little Ginger this morning, working on her anxiety when passing other dogs. We also did some home practice with noise desensitisation after the most recent bonfire night triggered some worry about sudden noises in the home. Ginger absolutely smashed both, well done little one! 🥰♥️

My first meeting with little Stitch the Frenchie this week, for an initial behaviour consultation to address his reactivity towards visitors. Stitch becomes very anxious when people he doesn’t know visit, and becomes super reactive and stressy. We created a safe space for Stitch and took lots of breaks, and he was soon calm and showing me his best ‘sit’ and ‘down’. He was enjoying my treats and Lickimat too, which was amazing in itself as he usually will not eat when visitors come over as he’s too stressed. Well done little guy - onwards and upwards! ♥️

Sammy the Lab smashing his training lately - such a difference in his behaviour in shops from last time - he’s definitely been practicing! 🥰 He settles so well now too when we sit and have a chat, despite all the passing humans/dogs/distractions 🐾🐾

Toffi and Fudge ♥️ Anxious little cuties who struggle with visitors, strangers and other dogs on walks, and some separation distress. First point of call - make friends - check ✔️ This week we have covered correct visitor protocol, what to do when triggered by noises and passers-by in the home, pre-walk protocol and stress reduction prior to leaving the house 🥰
