๐Ÿ’š Sizzles the Snag ๐Ÿ’š

~

Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing a 1 hour initial lesson with little man Sizzles who is a 12 week old miniature dachshund!

In his initial lesson we covered:
๐Ÿพ Toilet Training
๐Ÿพ Introducing alone time
๐Ÿพ How to start teaching a loose lead walk
๐Ÿพ Confidence building exercises

In the photo you can see Sizzles perched on his new favourite activity: the Swing Bridge from Happy paws doggie ramps

Learning to conquer scary things (like walking across something that moves under your feet) is a great way to build a young puppies confidence in their ability to handle new and sometimes scary situations, and is also a fantastic way to further develop their relationship with their owner as you conquer these new and scary situations together!

If you feel like your puppy could benefit from an initial lesson just like Sizzles you can reach me via:

๐Ÿ’šWhy I donโ€™t teach โ€œstayโ€๐Ÿ’š

~

When I ask for a position (such as sit), I expect the dog to maintain that position until either released or asked for another position.

I should not have to teach the dog โ€œstayโ€, as this implies that unless they have been told to โ€œstayโ€, they can move from the position whenever they like.

If you have been rostered for a shift at work, you are expected to see that shift through. Your employer shouldnโ€™t have to say โ€œyou need to stay the full shiftโ€ to make sure you donโ€™t leave early.

If I ask a dog to โ€œsitโ€, I expect them to remain in position without being told to โ€œstayโ€ regardless of whether I walk away, because running after me is not sitting!

Need help teaching your dog to maintain their position?

๐Ÿ’š Rewards ๐Ÿ’š

~

In this photo is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what can be used for rewards in training because ultimatelyโ€ฆ it can be anything!

We need to remember that every dog is different, and so what one dog might find extra tasty or super exciting another dog might not like or find interesting at all.

Itโ€™s important to try a range of different things to find out exactly what motivates your dog and how it motivates your dog.

Some rewards might motivate and excite your dog too much for certain tasks or situations, whilst others might not motivate or excite them enough.

Those dry treats you use for rewards at home just might not motivate them enough to complete tasks outside where there are competing (much more exciting) stimulus.

What is your dogs favourite reward?

๐Ÿ’š Bunnings Trip ๐Ÿ’š

~

Bunnings trips are the perfect outing for young puppies during their critical period of development (0-16 weeks)โ€ฆand after!

Thereโ€™s lots of different sights, sounds and smells for them to experience so make sure you bring lots of treats with you to reward good behaviour!

We always want to reward neutrality, this means the dog not being overly interested in or overly avoidant of a sight, sound or smell. For example:
๐Ÿพ Machine turns on and makes a loud noise
๐Ÿพ Puppy looks towards the noise
๐Ÿพ Puppy looks away (doesnโ€™t show interest)
๐Ÿพ We reward

If the puppy shows too much interest we want to ask for an alternative behaviour and reward for ignoring.

If the puppy becomes avoidant (running away) we want to ask for an alternative behaviour and reward for being brave and not attempting to avoid.

HOWEVER itโ€™s super important to not let every person you meet pet your puppy! We need to remember that this environment already has a lot of new sights, sounds and smells, and so having a lot of people try to interact may become too overwhelming. Always advocate for your dog!!!

๐Ÿ’š Always Learning ๐Ÿ’š

Last weekend Puppy Parenting Program spent the weekend at the Tom Davis and Forrest Micke Seminar!

For dog trainers, seminars are an amazing opportunity to expand our knowledge and add new techniques to our repertoire.

Because every dog is different there is no one technique that works for every single dog, so having knowledge of a range of techniques allows us to help a much wider variety of dogs. If your trainer doesnโ€™t attend seminars, they should!

Some of the seminars I have attended over the years are:

๐Ÿพ Michael Ellis - The Michael Ellis Experience

๐Ÿพ Jerry Bradshaw - Controlled Aggression Seminar

๐Ÿพ Jay Jack - Australian Tour

๐Ÿพ Jay Jack - Defensive Tactics Workshop

๐Ÿพ Pat Stuart - NePoPo Seminar

๐Ÿพ Pat Stuart - The dog training seminar for people who want to learn to do cool stuff with their dog

๐Ÿพ Cameron Ford - Detection Seminar Sydney

๐Ÿพ Narelle Cooke - Canine Nutrition Seminar
