I just read a recent study (not peer reviewed) ... That we should be teaching our dogs to dip their heads in a bucket of water to prevent over heating... So here Sheba goes giving this a go:-) I think we will stick to our normal practice of, being fit for purpose and having great places to cool off:-)
We raise our puppy's in an environment, where they hear and see a broad range noises and activities. Raising environmentally sound puppy's sets them up nicely for future development. Our puppy's and dogs will happily and peacefully sleep under a chair, or at the back of a 4 wheeler as ammunition is fired. Calibre of .22 is used, and above is used in the later stages of when we develop our own puppy's and dogs, or upon request by owners, when puppy's will be developed for these environments. It is very important for puppy's to see this as a normal part of life, not as a sudden frightening event.
When you are 4 weeks old and you learn that being bossy, and then sooking won't get you the pig leg. I just love watching them learn and navigate life.
Oh my, someone is enjoying their fresh pig leg for breakfast. Good job a pig has 4 legs. 4 week old puppy.
Puppy Feroz Maze passing the pub test. My husband may hide, but we will find him:-)
Little Feroz Maze is now working independently with no reinforcements. She can track both hard and soft surfaces. So so happy with my darling puppy. Thank you Summerland Dog Training for helping me with this.
Oh baby's, our beautiful 3 week old treasures.
Puppy Feroz Maze is being trained to follow human scent, she is progressing nicely with her training in the Blueprint of Hard Surface Tracking.with Summerland Dog Training. She now isn't using any reinforcements to assist her. She just found the 5 cent piece which she needed to find :-)
Maze my crazy puppy :-) Yesterday we did Tracking on our local bridge, once finished I looked down and she had jumped off the bridge and went swimming.
My youngest puppy Feroz Maze, she is just loving to Track. She did one track and once finished took it upon herself to go for a swim. I love her. Thank you Paul from Summerland Dog Training for working with us, and helping us advance.
Puppy Lilith is learning to track corners, and doing a great job of it. It was the middle of the day, hot & windy. She is learning to track human scent and at this stage mine. Her distraction were a car drove over the bridge and sqished her reinforcements, and then 3 people came out of the river and walked through her track. She didn't mind, nor was she distracted by their odours. She is such a good dog. Thank you Paul from Summerland Dog Training for working with us.
