Dogs eating food off the ground when on a walk can be a deadly habit. Baited food with poison, dead animals or chicken bones to name a few. Teaching your dog to not engage with food items on the ground is a useful life skill. This is the first steps to teaching this. 📖 My Book- The Nooch’s Pooches Method 🎧 Listen to our podcast @lifewithyourdogpodcast

A common question: "How to handle an off leash aggressive dog approaching me and my dog?" Carrying a spare leash that's easily accessible can be a tool to use to create space and to help defend you and your dog to an oncoming threat. This may be triggering to some, but it's your duty as your dog's leader to protect them. Acquiring an assertive state of mind is a life skill, especially when others depend on you. . 📖 My Book- The Nooch’s Pooches Method 🎧 Listen to our podcast @lifewithyourdogpodcast 🐺 Website www.npdogtraining.com ℹ️ Links in bio

The leash is the only reliable connection you have with your dog when you are out in public. Hold the leash correctly. Here are some reasons: • Tightly wrapped leads cause you to hold the leash too tight. Tight leashes encourages dogs to pull on leashes. Tight leashes hurt your hand. • Leash locking ensures dog doesn't get away from you. Encourages loose shoulders and loose leash walking (and good training and technique). • When you hold the leash like a pro, you can start training your dog to respond to leash pressure as a reliable form of communication. 📖 New book- The Nooch's Pooches Method 🎧 Listen to our podcast @lifewithyourdogpodcast 🐺 Website www.npdogtraining.com ℹ️ Links in bio

Training the BED command as a place for your dog to remain, until being released. Once teaching your dog what BED means to go to the bed and stay on it, until hearing the release command "OK". Using a slip leash with high value food to train the command so that Rocky learns that getting off will involve leash pressure to the bed, and released as soon as he gets back on the spot. Rewarding the good reps on an intermittent reward schedule will keep Rocky guessing when the reward will come. This keeps the behaviour more reliable and stronger over time. Start with short sessions and build duration, distance and distraction over time. 📖 New book- The Nooch's Pooches Method https://amzn.asia/d/f1wzLQK 🎧 Listen to our podcast https://linktr.ee/lifewithyourdogpodcast 🐺 Website www.npdogtraining.com linktr.ee/noochspooches #noochspooches #dogtraining #dog #dogs #germanshepherd

Watching dogs and their owners work together and achieve goals is very fulfilling. Dogs that lunge, bark and stress out around other dogs is not a fun way to live. These dogs all showed reactivity to other dogs. Working on 1:1 training and progressing to group classes to address behaviour issues, obedience training and loose leash walking. Learn the skills and how to work them with your dog. . . 🎧 Listen to our podcast @lifewithyourdogpodcast 🐺 Website www.npdogtraining.com ▶️ YouTube Videos- Nooch's Pooches ℹ️ Links in bio @np_dog_training #noochspooches #dogtrainingsydney #puppiesofinstagram #puppy #puppytraining #dog #dogs #dogsofinstragram #staffy #vizsla #labrador #bulldog #kelpie

Getting your dog to be locked in to you is one of the fundamental factors to success in training. 💯 The Name Game offers many solutions on so many levels. Your dog's name should mean you want their attention with reliability, energy and drive. This practice isn't only about saying your dog's name, it's about compelling your dog via the use of leash pressure and the reward event that follows that makes this an effective technique. Used for: Getting engagement prior to commands. Helping with the counter-conditioning/desensitisation process. Handling skills. Clarity in communication. There are a few moving parts to this technique, pressure of the leash- dog's name- release pressure- luring game (or tug/ball reward). Requires good timing on when to apply the technique as well as when to practice. If done correctly, your dog will be switched on to you when you need it. . . 🎧 Listen to our podcast @lifewithyourdogpodcast 🐺 Website www.npdogtraining.com ▶️ YouTube Videos- Nooch's Pooches ℹ️ Links in bio @np_dog_training #noochspooches #dogtrainingsydney #puppiesofinstagram #puppy #puppytraining #dog #dogs #dogsofinstragram #labrador
