How well do you know your dog's body language?

I've had a few people recently tell me they aren't confident in reading their dog so each Monday I will be focusing on a different body part to give you an insight into what your dog might be thinking.

This week, we are looking at the mouth 👅

Whilst these are general guidelines about body language, context is crucial! I hope this mini series has helped you understand your dog a bit better 💕

Let me know if there is anything else you would like a few posts covering!

𝑬𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 & 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒔 🦮

I’ve had a few questions lately about my enrichment and training walks with a qualified and experienced dog trainer 🤔

There are four main aspects:

🏠 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑚 - before leaving the house, I will make sure your dog is in a calm state of mind to start off the walk in the best way

🗂️ 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 - your dog will have the opportunity for free sniffing time and will also spend practicing loose lead walking

🐩 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑 - socialising with other dogs and people can be done in a controlled manner (depending on the temperament of your dog and their needs)

🥇𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒 - working on existing skills and learning new ones, including recall with the use of a long line

If you’re looking for someone reliable to walk your dog and think your dog would benefit from regular of one off walks involving the above, let’s have a chat about how I can help ☺️

Benefits of 1-1 dog training 🐶

🌟 Everything is done at your dog’s pace. Every dog will excel with some skills and struggle with others and having 1-1 sessions mean that we can progress faster or spend a little extra time on certain aspects.

🌟 Distractions can be tailored to your dog. Some dogs need to learn their skills away from other dogs before they can practice around others; we can either decrease or increase the number and type of distractions for the most effective learning. This is especially helpful for reactive or anxious dogs.

🌟 There is no rigid schedule. We focus on exactly what you want to work on and can incorporate different activities such as agility and scent work training into our sessions to give you and your dog some fun activities to do together, this comes in handy if your dog is getting frustrated with what they are trying to master or just to break up the session.

🌟 Your dog gets all the attention! This is the most important part because some dogs can get a bit lost in group settings which can leave both the dog and owner feeling disheartened and frustrated.

👉🏻 If you like the sound of these benefits and want to experience them for yourself, drop me a message and we can have a chat 👈🏻

🙌 Here’s my quick top tip to keep your dog calm around the home. 🙌

You know those moments when you’re busy or just trying to relax and your dog has other ideas? Suddenly they’re zooming around your living room or getting into things they shouldn’t…

Well, it’s time to embrace games! 🤩

All you need to do is take 10 minutes to enjoy a little challenging fun with your dog. Some ideas are:

✨ Play hide and seek

✨ Hide treats around your home for them to find

✨ Spread treats over a towel, roll it and tie it up

Get your dog to work their brain and nose for a moment and they’ll soon be chilling at your feet again.

Adolescent Dogs! 😬

We’ve all been there, flooded with new hormones, mood swings every 5 seconds, and testing EVERY SINGLE BOUNDARY! 🫣

Your dog isn’t any different 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dogs generally start their adolescence around 6 - 12 months old and come through the other side between 18 - 24 months.

Top tips for staying sane:

✂️ Cut yourself and your dog some slack - neither of you are perfect and that’s ok! If you have a bad day, draw a line under it and start fresh the next morning.

🤯 Make your dog use their brain - anything that makes your dog think, especially if it also uses their nose is fantastic! Think feeding puzzles, hiding treats for them to find or teach them a new trick.

🌟 Consistency is key - stick to your routine and don’t change your expectations. Dogs thrive when they know exactly what they are expected to do, even if they do the exact opposite sometimes!

📱Don’t do it alone - if you’re struggling and need a sanity check or a little reassurance, drop me a message, I’m here to help you.

A huge number of dogs are surrendered during their adolescent period because owners don’t know how to deal with them 😥

Let’s make sure your dog has the best set up for their adult life ❤️

Some of you may remember this post from a while ago about Hunter being grumpy at the vet.

This week we took him to the vet and he did so well! He sat on the scale straight away and then on the table, letting the vet do what they needed to.🎉

The vet still isn’t somewhere he enjoys going, but we have worked with him to a point he can tolerate it. There’s more work to be done but it shows that time and consistency work 💪🏻

And for being SUCH a good boy he got a new toy and then got to pick out his own treat Always Raw Pet Supplies Ltd 🦴
