Thank you to Sally from TLC Dog Training for another amazing training session with one of my furi-clients "Darby" 🐶

At Paws & Tails Whitsundays, your fur-baby is my 100% priority 🐾 Lots of love, fun, training and a safe home away from home is always provided 💙

It's the French Revolution

Today I did another session with Darby who was having a stay Paws & Tails Whitsundays with his brother and friends.

Darby is still being the French Police dog so we worked some more on his Leave it command. We also made sure that when other dogs were playing, it wasn't Darby's job to go and break it up or play crash the party and take over.

Darby is improving but he can also be very opportunistic. Eyes are on him at all times.

"Hello, My name is Miss Peaches" 🍑🧡🐶

"I loved having sleepovers at Miss Chelsea's house 🏡 We went on walkie adventures, played with lots of toys, and had so much fun every day!

TLC Dog Training Tips 🐾🐶

FOCUS IS THE FOUNDATION FOR TRAINING.
IF YOUR DOG DOESN'T FOCUS ON YOU THEN HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT.

Are you struggling to capture your dog's attention amid distractions? Does your furry friend seem to have a mind of their own when you're trying to train or communicate with them? Fear not! Achieving focus from your pup/dog is not an elusive dream—it's a skill that can be nurtured with patience, consistency, and the right approach.

Here are some tips from to help you unleash the power of focus in your canine companion:

1. Start with Basic Training: Establish a strong foundation of basic obedience commands such as "sit," "stay," and "come." These commands not only teach your dog valuable skills but also help build a communication bridge between you and your furry friend.

2. Use Positive Reinforcement: Reward desired behaviors with treats, praise, or toys. Positive reinforcement encourages your dog to repeat behaviors that earn them rewards, making them more likely to focus on you in anticipation of a treat or praise.

3. Keep Training Sessions Short and Fun: Dogs have short attention spans, so keep training sessions brief (about 5-10 minutes) and engaging. Make training fun by incorporating games, toys, and plenty of enthusiasm.

4. Minimize Distractions: Start training in a quiet, familiar environment before gradually adding distractions. As your dog becomes more proficient, gradually increase the level of distraction to challenge their focus and impulse control.

5. Be Consistent: Consistency is key to successful training. Use the same cues and reward system every time, and avoid sending mixed signals to your dog. Consistency helps your dog understand what is expected of them and reinforces desired behaviors.

6. Work on Engagement: Focus on building a strong bond and connection with your dog. Engage in interactive play, go for walks together that engages their mind for stimulation not just their physical body. Spend quality time bonding with your furry friend outside of training sessions.

7. Patience and Persistence: Remember, achieving focus takes time and patience. Be patient with your dog, celebrate small victories, and don't get discouraged by setbacks. With consistency and persistence, your dog will gradually improve their focus and attention skills.

Bella is totally focused on what I am doing which is maintaining her sit command.
