Dogs and Babies ….. 🐶👶🏻 hot topic right now

👶🏻 About 30% of our clients are in preparation for a babies arrival. Whether your dog is good with children or not they have little idea of the impact a baby will have on their routine and home life.

🤔 Parenting classes exist for a reason, we also have no ideal the changes that will arise when baby arrives. Preparation is the key to success.

🐶 It’s not fair to say a dog failed when they were not trained for their new role.
🤔A guide dog has 18 months of training before they enter their role.
🤔A human has 4 years in Uni before they do internships in their desired role.

🤔Fail to prepare, prepare to fail
🥰Set your dog up for success with baby training before, during and after arrival

If you are stressed, concerned or worried about todays highlights. Contact me immediately and we can arrange the necessary preparations for your home 🏡

Meet Ned 🐶 showcasing Our Triple threat for puppy training

⭐️ Snuffle mats
⭐️ Fleece tugs and chews
⭐️ Natural dried chews (no raw hide)

Why?
🤔 Puppies need to chew to ease the discomfort of teething
🐶 Providing comfortable chew toys and natural dried animal chews provides an outlet for a physiological need
🤔 Puppies are rapidly growing and full of energy
🐶 Providing mental stimulation using snuffle devices will help filter that energy into a productive task leaving your puppy satisfied and less likely to form bad habits through boredom
🤔 Puppies need rest and lots of it
🐶 Making their crate the most exciting place ever through the use of snuffle devices and natural chews will help your puppy love their crate and begin associating it with an area to rest in after fun activities

If you need help with your puppy training begin your journey today and join the hundreds of puppies we’ve trained to live happy fulfilled lives with their owners 🥰

Although we aren’t big on New Years resolutions as I feel they place too much pressure on what is just a new day. However, a new year can be a great way to reassess what needs more focus and time in your life and perhaps things you planned to do but forgot 🤔

Well we are here to help. Whatever your intentions are with your relationship with your dog we have your back.

⭐️ Want to enjoy your walks more with less reactivity or walks you don’t get pulled on
⭐️ Want to finally get that recall down
⭐️ Sick of being barked at all day long
⭐️ Wish you could spend less at the groomers by actually brushing your dog at home
⭐️ Made some errors last year and want to figure out how to recover
⭐️ Realised over Christmas that your dog really dislikes visitors in the house

Whatever your needs we are happy to help 😊

Need help, we’re here 😊

Meet Marley 😍

I am so incredibly proud of Marley and his parents 🤩.

Marley is a 9 year old Akita rescue from Dogs Trust, just look at those sweet eyes 👀😍. We don’t know his full background but he massively struggles with trust both humans and dogs but my god when he lets you in he’s the biggest cuddle bug anyone could every imagine 😍

Visitors was Marley’s biggest issue, but look at him now 🤩 comfy and cozy around new people. He still has some small areas to perfect but I am so proud of how far he has come.

Adopt don’t shop 🐶

With rescues full to the brim due to people’s poor decisions why buy when you can give an existing dog a loving new home 🏡

Training a puppy from a puppy farm can be 10 times hard than training a rescue dog. The fake set up of all dogs being in the house when you pick them up is not a true picture and every dog is on their best behaviour because the situation is so unknown to them.
Puppy farming can cause:
❌ maternal stress - a stressed mom equals stressed puppies
❌ A puppy who struggles adjusting to a home environment sounds and outside world sounds due to being raised in a barn or kennel
❌ A puppy who has sound and visual fears - high visibility jackets, hoses, sweeping brushes. Due to over production and poor animal care puppy areas are cleaned infrequently while they are in there meaning they have no chance to have a positive association with the hose that is cleaning them and their “home” and the person doing it is now also scary
❌ F***l eating - due to poor diet and no supervision meaning the area is not cleaned up to prevent it
❌ Puppies who dislike being handled - as they have never been handled before
❌ Puppies who dislike kids as they’ve never seen them before
❌ Puppies who hate the car as they have only ever been to the vet in the car

The list goes on……

Don’t be disheartened by rescues turning you away from a dog you wanted. Often they have many dogs who need an experienced owner, a large garden (as they don’t yet know how to walk on a lead), a house with no kids etc etc. Just because one social media posts has specifics they have lots of dogs who are suitable to any home. Pop into a rescue and find a dog that’s chooses you, what we think we want is rarely what we need 🐶💙

Preparing enrichment for the night of Halloween is not enough to counter the fear of fireworks. If there’s a room full of your worst fear are you gonna feel safe eating ice cream in the corner?

Preparations involves behaviour modification for most dogs. Please seek the help you need to prevent the trauma for next year and start now.

It will take your dog longer than 72 hours to destress if they are experience other triggers - continued fireworks, intense storms, flying garden furniture, outdoor reactivity. Give them what they need to unwind.

Halloween doesn’t have to be a stress. Myself and Ben enjoyed a lovely walk watching fireworks from a distance while he rested, we ate dinner out at a restaurant to avoid trick or treaters ringing the doorbell constantly and we came home to a warm cozy house and rested for the evening with no stress despite lots of fireworks around. He had a lick mat snd his usually snuffle dinner and went off to sleep completely ignoring the sounds.

Introducing the handsome Louis, the Frenchie.
We spent some time with Louis and his family this weekend. Louis was in need of some boundaries, enrichment and behavioural assessment following a bite incident.

Louis did amazing 🤩 just like all teens, dogs processing hormonal changes need extra activities, clear boundaries and assistance in dealing with the highs and lows of life.

We are excited to keep working with Louis so he can handle visitors, postmen, walks and ending play time with ease 💙

🤔 Please stop trying to find a magic cure days before an event your dog is afraid of. You can’t physically loose a stone to fit into your Halloween costume so don’t expect your dog to suddenly learn to be ok with a sound they fear. There is not quick fix, training doesn’t take long and will likely help your dogs confidence in so many other areas.

📚 If you start using our members area videos today you can pack a lot in to make their experience more pleasant and prepare more for next year.

A reminder to all. There’s no drug, cream or food to replace training. Lots of prescribed medications actually make the situation worse each year as the dog is mentally aware but physically incapable of running from their fear, just image that for a moment 😭.

If you have a new rescue dog, puppy or you’ve simply hold your hands up and say I could have done more this year I’ll do better next year. Here are my top tips.

Top tips:
⭐️ Do tag your dogs and have a registered microchip
⭐️ Do earlier walks in quieter areas
⭐️ Do start desensitisation using our Members area - you won’t get completely neutral in 4 days but it will help
⭐️ Do increase your enrichment that day particularly in the evening (snuffles, lick mats, kongs and chews as many items and as long lasting as possible to keep them going)
⭐️ Do have radio or TV on - avoiding TV triggers
⭐️ Do add reinforcement to their safe areas in the house, adding some lavender may help
⭐️ Do close windows and curtains to reduce sound
⭐️ Do keep fires and candles out of the way of any sudden dog reactions
⭐️ Do choose a restaurant for dinner - this avoids costumed children at the door and constant doorbell aggravations. Great for rescues or those with kid and doorbell
aggression.
⭐️ Keep all treats out of reach (then add about 4 feet to what you think is out of reach)
⭐️ Avoid trick or treating time for walks (costumes and dropped treats)
⭐️ Avoid costumes on kids around dogs who dislike costumes or kids
⭐️ Avoid bags of treats poured onto the floor - accidents will happen
⭐️ Do not leave a anxious dog alone during fireworks or trick or treat time. If you are a single parent ask for help.
