TRAINING TUESDAY
Have you fallen victim to an attack of the furry land shark?

Puppy biting is a normal behaviour. So why do they do it and what can we do?

🐶Biting is a normal part of playing with their siblings and to them a lot of fun. When we play with our puppy, they will grab at us to get us to play. Teach them how to play with us appropriately by redirecting to a toy like a soft tug toy.

🐶Puppies learn about their environment by putting everything in their mouth
Provide management such as pens/barriers to prevent access to unsuitable things like your shoes, the power cords, your un**es...... Also give them suitable options to chew and play with (think toilet rolls with dried treats to rip up, chews, frozen treats and treat dispensers)

🐶Make sure they get enough sleep. Often tired puppies tend to bite and mouth more than puppies who get enough down time. Set up a designate area for your puppy where they can rest and play. Puppy pens are great for this.

🐶Avoid Rough housing (grabbing, holding their mouth or playing with our hands) is not the best way to interact with our puppies. This just encourages biting and mouthing. We can play tug with a squeaky toy or a tug toy but this should not be our main game. Teaching tricks, such as shake or roll over, basic obedience, playing hide and seek or bring a toy back might be more appropriate.

🐶Should your puppy bite you – by definition any teeth on skin – stop the interaction, ask for a calm behaviour and redirect to something they are allowed to chew.
With patience and persistence, your puppy will understand that mouthing or biting will stop the game but keeping their teeth to themselves will get them the playtime they enjoy.

This could was going to be an assistance dog
But the owner has had a bad turn of events

📣 Please help find a loving new home for Pearl, a young Tenterfield Terrier born in June 2023.

Pearl has a lovely temperament, she is super smart, quick to learn and keen as well. She loves food reinforcement! Pearl likes all people and is also good with dogs of all sizes once introduced properly. She is still a young dog and can be bouncy, so young children may not be ideal. She would be suitable for an active family or person. She travels well in the car.

Please contact Sandy Patterson on 0421 509 185 for more information. Pearl is in Mackay until mid-October, then will be in Dalby (QLD) until she finds the right home.🐾
