New brother and sister Koris and Maddie. Koris is a new addition to the family and there have been a few incidents. It appears Maddie isn’t so keen on this new brother.
When a new addition is brought into an established family it can upset the routine. They smell different, they act different than perhaps a previous dog no longer with you.

You are asking for a relationship from a stranger!
So what is the preferable way to handle this new dynamic?
Space is your friend. I prefer to have owners gate or crate a new dog for a bit. Establish the new routine. Take away resources that may cause a fight between dogs, treats, bones, toys. The existing dog may feel somewhat territorial over their people and their things. Get into a routine of walking the dogs together. A nice parallel activity can help establish a relationship. Give it time, hang out together while the dogs are leashed and calm. This doesn’t happen overnight. 🐾

Saturday was big dog day! Bernie and then Bear came for basic behavior training. Both are 8 months old and getting a bit pushy. Nothing serious just adolescent behavior with weight and size to their advantage.

Remember that, big-dog puppy owners!

Starting before your dog can drag you down the street is definitely preferable. Both had a great training day and we will continue working. 🐾

I recently returned from a vacation from the north of Spain. A beautiful country and very dog friendly.
A big observation was watching people ignore their dogs while walking down the street, standing talking in a group sharing a wine and sitting at an outdoor cafe. No fussing with their dogs, talking to them, petting and so forth. It was delightful to see how well behaved most dog were and not needy at all.
These dogs are well socialized at a young age and are able to be out and about. They know how to behave and just do it. Certainly a contrast from here.
We unfortunately are not able to just walk everywhere as some of these people in the cities. There is something to be said for letting a dog be. Not constantly playing and entertaining. Allowing a dog to figure out how to relax.
It was fun to observe another country and their pets. This picture was an art display at the Guggenheim museum. PA artist!

If you want change…….then you have to make changes.
Dogs do what they can to get what they want. They jump to get affection, they steal to get chased, they bark for entertainment. It goes on and on.
In most instances making a change in how you address an undesirable behavior can have a profound impact on whether it continues.
You don’t have to just live with behaviors from your dog. Regardless of age behavior can be modified…….if you make changes. Let me know if you need help with that!🐾

Little cutie Dexter is learning how to go to place, lay down and relax. A 15 week old sheepadoodle , Dexter is well on his way learning all his basics and will become a well behaved good boy. This will just become his way of life knowing, what the rules are. 🐾

This is “Friday,”
a 17 month old golden with boundary issues. Friday knows most of the usual commands now. His biggest issue is blowing through doorways to possibly play ball “his favorite thing” The problem is this reckless behavior puts people and other dogs in jeopardy. I have a 15 year old dog that takes time to come in and out. I don’t need this knucklehead mowing her over to get out. In fact there are times I don’t want him out at all.
I am using a BACK command to ask him to give space. I am going to release him on my timetable. He is getting this command for the most part but will sometimes try to push. That is why consistently addressing this behavior by everyone is necessary. The second command I am using is OUT. This means get out of here, I want you away. This is used for a number of reasons. A dog that is resource guarding a person or thing will often learn this command to move away. In Fridays case it is to remind him the door maybe open but he needs to get away.
I can also put him in Place if I want him to be away from the door. There are options. He certainly is not perfect but consistently addressing the behavior is what will ensure his success.

Happy Monday everyone!

Just watched a good video from Dr. Judy Morgan DVM about the bird flu. The giest of it is she hasn’t changed her stance on feeding raw. She basically says expose to migratory birds is the problem. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Keep your dog’s immune system healthy. The FDA did not do their due diligence when they issued a recall on a food in Oregon. They only tested the open bag not other bags in the same lot. The food could have been contaminated in other ways. All very interesting. I heard on the news the other day where they were saying not to feed raw to your dog. This is so over hyped. I will continue as I have been doing with raw or gently cooked for my dogs. Just an FYI
