Early morning beach run with this sweet girl again. First time on beach with the lead dropped and she was awesome. Just love seeing dogs be dogs running free without any helicopter parenting while teaching and implementing training when opportunities arise.
Teach your K9 buddy want you would like them to do in context.
Also be calm clear and consistent.
When a dog knows what you want it takes away frustration, stress and anxiety they may feel.

My boy is 12 when will he slow down. It is important to keep our senior dogs active at a level they can handle and enjoy🐾
Met this bundle of joy puppy yesterday for a session and she is just a darling, thrives on humans attention.
This sweet girl being a country pup has not had the opportunity to meet other dogs so this morning she met up with my boy and she was a little gem.
Time to get some puppy socials going here as not just an opportunity for pups to learn and practice their social skills and etiquette their humans will become fluent in K9 lingo.

A lovely outing today at our favourite beach.
My boys new little JR mate will be 13 tomorrow and the old boy well has had some extremely bad experiences with dogs in the past.
Yet with Ryda he is just a cool little dude that seems to enjoy my boys company , running, chasing the ball and just hanging out.
Together they worked out how to interact together with their own made up ball game.
Years ago my boy was the student and now he is the teacher for many dogs.
Even when dogs have negative experiences with other dogs it doesn’t mean they can’t find a friend with another K9, it just has to be the right one.
Us humans don’t like all humans but we all need ( even us introverts ) need to have a friend or 2.
The real friends are the ones that respect and listen to each other. When it comes to our dogs this is why we need to understand K9 lingo so you can listen in on the dog’s conversations and reward the good choices they make with each other.
Both dogs had a great time downside for the old JR was he got a little drunk on sea water and had watery trots and a couple of vomits, funny as no different to us humans having a party with friends with a few drinks to many, going home having a vomit feel crap then wake up with hangover but by gosh the party was fun😜🐾
Noted not fun for the person having to clean up.

Cressy beach definitely my boys favourite beach.
Another couple of hrs spent walking swimming, sniffing and just being.
The request this way let’s go means changing direction let’s go this way.
Teaching dogs behaviours is not hard if you can listen to dogs.
