Often you’ll hear me say the phrase “set your dog up for success,” but what exactly do I mean by that?

It means setting up realistic expectations and goals for you and your dog and creating an environment that sets your dog up for success. When we are training, it is essential that we give our dogs many opportunities to be right so we can reward them for making the correct choice. These are the moments when learning happens!

It helps in reducing frustration felt by you and your dog. It also helps in building bonds and trust in each other.

Think about it this way, teaching kids to swim before throwing them in the water on their own and expecting them to compete in a race. That would be unfair. So why should we expect anything differently from our dogs?

So how can you set your dog up for success?

✅ Know your dog:
- What they like - Figure out whatever motivates your dog. Is it food? Toys? Play? Praises and affection?

- What they dislike - Don’t force them into situations that will make them uncomfortable such as bringing them to the dog park when they don’t like dogs, or taking them into crowded areas when they’re nervous around people. That will only set them up for failure.

- Their age and abilities - If they are a puppy, then you need to set the expectations lower and expect yourself to help them out a lot more often. Puppies, just like children, need time to learn, grow and mature

✅ Understand your dog’s body language
Dogs communicate to us with their bodies if we know how to listen. They will tell us how they feel (excited, bored, distracted, anxious, or ready to stop training for the day) via their eyes, body posture, tail position, and stance.

✅ Practice in different environments
The key is not expect too much too soon in distracting environments. Practice at home first and gradually increase the level of distractions. Ie from the living room to the backyard, to a quiet street, a busier street, an empty park to a park with a couple of dogs at a distance etc....

Dog Management vs Dog Training

When working with dogs and addressing dog behaviour problems people often confuse managing dog behaviour and dog training. While both are important and are often used together, they are actually two different things.

Management essentially refers to anything (environment, item, habit) that prevents a dog from practising dog behaviour problems.

- A dog pulls hard on leash during walks ➡️ use of a front-clip harness, which prevents the dog from pulling by changing the angle of attachment.

- Two dogs fight when they are eating dinner ➡️ feed them in separate rooms.

- A dog is incessantly barking out of the window ➡️ close the blinds so the dog cannot see the things that make them bark

Positive training is used to change the consequences to encourage alternative behaviours we like better in the problem situation.

- A dog pulls hard on leash during walks ➡️ train the dog to walk with a loose leash, in order to earn forward movement and treats.

- Two dogs fight when they are eating dinner ➡️ train the dogs to eat comfortably across the room from each other.

- A dog is incessantly barking out of the window ➡️ desensitise and counter condition the dog to triggers outside the window so that the dog is no longer triggered when seeing things outside the window

⭐️ Working together ⭐️
Through a combination of dog behaviour management and positive training, we can change a problem situation into an environment that promotes dog behaviours we like better and allow training new desirable behaviours.

Welcome Peewee! 🤍

Peewee is joining our 4 week puppy program as he is going to be a big boy and his parents want to make sure they have the right foundations to give him the best start in life. He has joined a busy family so we will be working with the kids as well helping them to be more confident on how to interact with him.

Peewee has already adapted well to his family and seems very enthusiastic to learn! We are excited to see him grow as a confident, happy and independent pup! 🌟

Cotton & Puffy! 🤍

What a duo!!! 😻 I met those 2 cuties today to help with good manners dog training such as drop it, leave it and recall. We discussed how to keep them mentally stimulated during the day and how to manage a multi-dog household with ease.

Excited to see them again in a few days to practice more skills outside with more distractions.

Earl! 🤎

This was a special consultation. We’ve met Earl 1.5 years ago and help with his loose leash walking and recall. Earl is now in a new family due to personal circumstances but he has found a loving family that only wants the best for him and are really educating themselves to make sure they are doing the right thing for him. We discussed how to help him adjusting to his new home and to settle down. He gets easily triggered by outside noises so we discussed and put in practice exercices to desensitise him to those noises. We also work on his leash reactivity towards dogs and he did really well, easily disengaging.

Looking forward to seeing him again in a few weeks to see his progress.

Walter! 🤎

We met the beautiful Walter for an initial consultation to help with attention seeking whining. We discussed how to keep him mentally stimulated and help him settling down at home.
We practised loose leash walking, recall and how to manage his over excitement around other dogs. We discussed how to set him up for success by working under threshold and redirecting his attention.

So grateful to call this my job and do what I love the most everyday! 🥰🐾🙏🏽

Today was the last training session with Louie and his family and it has been an amazing journey together! 💫

We started with a pre puppy arrival consultation to set up the home for the arrival of Louie, followed by a 4 week puppy program working on helping him being comfortable in his new home and family, learning how to set up boundaries, creating his own little space where he loves to hang out, building up some alone time positively, learning good manners, working on socialisation and making him comfortable and used to new people, animals, sounds, objects, environnements etc… managing over excitement and learning about his needs and how puppies communicate. Then we added another puppy program of 4 weeks to work outside when he was ready to take on the outside world working on leash walking, recall, settling down and more importantly how to keep him engaged to his family with so many distractions around, read his body language and how to always put him in situations of success.

Today Louie is 5 months old and he is such a happy, healthy, confident, independent, calm, engaged and playful puppy. We are so proud of the pup he has became, big shout out to his family who have followed all the advice and were so dedicated to the training since the beginning.

It has been so amazing to see everyone grow and learn those past few months and we are confident that they have the tools and understandings to keep building this great relation with their dog 💙

Thank you Georgia for those kind words and following my advice and helping Poppy. She is a great dog and your attitude was very positive and made the session fun for everyone!

Howie! 🤍

We met Howie for an initial consultation to help with his reactivity towards guests at home and dogs when on walks.

His fear reactivity is due to a lack of socialisation when he was a puppy and has become a learned behaviour. We discussed how to add more mental stimulation to his daily routine and desensitise and counter condition him to like the triggers gradually and teaching him an alternate response behaviour. The family is all on board with the training plan and we’ve seen great results in our session already!
