"Matt, do you have any more treats?" ๐Ÿคฉ
Zeus all ears about his new training program!
This big German Shepherd boy needed some help with his loose leash walking manners. We also needed to address his tendency to get very overexcited around people AND other dogs!
German Shepherds are typically very smart, loyal and trainable dogs. Developing a good relationship is key to helping them be obedient under high levels of distraction.

Making friends! A big step for Winnie.
Does your dog have a best friend? Let us know in the comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡
Hard to think Winnie was once scared of Huey! This fear would present as reactivity (growling, lunging etc). Huey was raised to be calm and confident and is an excellent role model for other dogs. He is often a better teacher than I am ๐Ÿฅน
If you're struggling with reactivity or your dog is fearful and you'd like to help them become more self-confident, get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!

Howie the Bulldog ๐Ÿ˜
Do you think he looks impressed? Let us know in the comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡
This handsome Bulldog boy joins us for a series of private sessions to work through some pretty full on dog reactivity.
We typically start with an assessment of the dogs general obedience and work towards addressing any gaps in communication and the foundations of the dogs understanding of what's expected.
Howie also needed some help with loose leash walking, so we set his owners up with some routines to work through in the backyard to help teach him what their expectations are while completing this task.
Howie made great progress in the first session and we're excited to see his progress over the coming weeks. If you need help with your dog, please get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!

We often get to see both sides of this story. Education is the key for both the handler and the dogs.

Iโ€™ve always said that the loudest voices who oppose tools and training which enable dogs to live the biggest, happiest, and healthiest lives, arenโ€™t advocating for the dogs, theyโ€™re advocating for their own emotionsโ€ฆ at the cost of the dogs.

Chase back for a follow up ๐Ÿคฉ
This handsome GSD cross boy has made some seriously big improvements since we started working together! And he looks pretty proud of himself too ๐Ÿ˜Š
When we first met, Chase lacked self confidence. This was leading to reactivity towards people and dogs. He was very hesitant to come near me initially, and didn't know how to engage in play.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and by following along with the training program that we outlined for our clients, he's now much happier and much more confident. His obedience has improved ten fold and we can now start addressing some of the remaining reactivity.
If your dog is reactive towards people, dogs, or anything else for that matter, there's a good chance that it stems from insecurities and gaps in the foundation of the dogs understanding of what you want from them in those scenarios.

Marvin the Martian ๐Ÿ‘ฝ
This cute Border Collie boy has a whole lot of energy and a whole heap of attitude to match! His owners came to us wanting help to curb some of his behaviours.
Marvin, being a young working breed dog, needs a lot of guidance and direction on how to behave. This is something most owners overlook. It's so important that we provide structure for our dogs, particularly puppies!
Marvin was being destructive and had a tendency to ignore commands. So back to basics for him and his owners. Often these behaviours stem from boredom and a lack of fulfillment.
We gave Marvin's owners a number of games to play and drills to work through with him to not only improve their obedience, but ultimately improve their relationship with him! These two combined are the key to long term success.
If your dog is destructive or doesn't listen to commands, get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!

He's one handsome Dude ๐Ÿ˜Ž
This Irish terrier boy is such a character. He's ever so smart and fun to train with. He's got lots of personality and lives up to the terrier name!
His owners were struggling with his reactivity. This was being displayed towards people arriving at the home (the postman) and other dogs while on a walk.
These are common problems that we see and deal with a lot. How do you address this? We need to make sure that we are teaching our dogs impulse control. This gives them the ability to remain calm, particularly under the guidance and direction we provide.
Dude went back to basics with his training and we saw big improvement in just the first session. Looking forward to seeing how much has changed in our next session.
If you have a dog that's reactive and you would like help, please get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!

Big boy Zeus learning some patience
Another handsome German Shepherd boy in for a session with us. This guy had some really good foundational obedience, but was struggling to get along with his new house mate - a feisty French Bulldog!
We often get asked to help introduce two dogs, or to introduce a new dog into a family home, and sometimes to help two dogs already living together to get along. This often isn't a straight forward task....
If you're thinking of adding a second dog to your pack, here are some things to consider:
- Always make sure that you can actually commit the time to training two dogs.

- Make sure you meet the new dog more than once before bringing them home.

- If possible, try to make the first meeting on neutral territory (away from your home).

- If possible, go for a "pack walk" together to set the foundation of the dogs relationship with you

- Make sure that both dogs are held accountable to the same rules and boundaries

- Make sure that both dogs have access to a safe space, away from each other.

- Make sure that you are managing their time together and supervising play time (things can and will escalate VERY quickly).
If this is something you're considering, or you would like help with your dogs, please get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!

Benny focused on success ๐Ÿ˜Ž
This handsome Koolie boy was a real treat to work with. He's very smart and very eager to achieve what he wants. However, these traits can mean trouble if you don't know how to harness them! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
His owners were struggling with some very typical "bad" behaviours. Pulling on the leash, over-excitement, reactivity etc. In particular they were struggling with his herding drive, which was presenting as object fixation and reactivity in the form of chasing (dogs, birds, people on bikes).
Genetic fulfilment is crucial for raising a calm and confident companion. For Benny, this meant building obedience training into play and changing the way his owners were interacting with him. Sometimes, as soon as you change, your dogs behaviour will change too ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
Benny did a great job in just his first session, and with 2 follow ups booked in, his owners are now on the road to success ๐Ÿคฉ

Titan back for a follow up
(Standard GSD head tilt)
This big working line German Shepherd boy has come such a long way since starting with us. There is no sugar coating it - he is a handful! Full of drive and lots of energy. Titan by name, Titan by nature ๐Ÿ’ช
His owners have done an excellent job following along with the training programs we have set out for them and they're seeing the results of all their consistent efforts ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Titan's biggest hurdle now is addressing his dog reactivity. Due to his size, he is hard to hold back when his impulses kick in. How do you address this? Obedience training in the back yard! ๐Ÿบ
Impulse control is an important life skill for all dogs, big and small. If your dog struggles with impulse control - get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!!

Mr Sunny looking particularly proud of himself
This handsome Groodle boy is a real treat to work with. He's got lots of drive and is very smart! These things are great when you know how to handle them, but can mean trouble if you don't.... ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
His owners were struggling to contain his energy and couldn't give him the freedom they wanted, because under any level of distraction, he would completely ignore their commands ๐Ÿ˜ฃ
So, back to basics for Sunny. When you change the way you interact with your dog, change the fundamentals of your relationship, and change what your expectations are. Their behaviour will inevitably change too. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
If you're struggling to get your dog's drive and energy under control, or they're too smart for you, get in touch with the team from Beyond Dogs today!

Zeus and Huey ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ
(brothers from separate litters)
Zeus is a German Shepherd x Husky and has been working with us on some behavioral issues. One of those was dog reactivity.
We see this A LOT. Dog reactivity can stem from a number of root causes, but we need to make sure that regardless of the trigger, our dogs are concentrating on us and listening to commands under varying degrees of distraction.
So we train the behaviour we want first, and in most cases this is loose leash walking. Then once the desired behaviour is known, we add in distractions, like another dog.
Huey does an excellent job of being neutral around other dogs, but won't put up with any bullsh$t either, making him an excellent helper. He's helped numerous dogs like Zeus with overcoming their reactivity and making some doggy friends ๐Ÿ˜

Celebrating with your dogs! ๐Ÿฅณ
Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year! While for most this is a joyous occasion, for some dogs, fireworks are traumatic. Below are some tips to help your dog enjoy New Year's eve.
โœ… Make sure your dog goes through some, if not all of their daily routine leading into New Year's Eve.
โœ… If you have time, put a fireworks video on the TV with the volume down low, to get your dog use to the sound.
โœ… Make the sound of fireworks a fun and playful occasion. Do some light training with high value food or have a session of tug-o-war to take their mind off the sounds.
โœ… Make sure they're secure and cannot escape. If they do get scared, the last thing you want to to be chasing them down the street.
โœ… Make sure your dog is fed before settling in for the evening. A full tummy can create calm.
โœ… If you know they're going to be frightened, try setting them up inside, in a crate or bed of some sort, windows close, blinds down, lights off, all to try and minimize the sound reverberation.
โœ… Stay with your dog, but don't overdo the reassurance. Remember that we want to try and reinforce the right state of mind. Rewarding a dog when they're scared or frightened will only tell them they're doing the right thing.
Remember that your dog doesn't understand what the fireworks are, and will sense the explosions in different ways. By remaining calm, we can offer a good reference point for them and hopefully influence their reaction to the stimulus.
