Carly Clarke - Super Woofers

Training doesn’t have to be a formal event! I find it hard to make set times for things, so to make it easy, I try to just reward sht I like as it happens. Peanut, is a counter-surfing pro! Instead of constantly battling this, I’ve turned food prep time into a fun training opportunity. Now, whenever food is in the kitchen, we make it more profitable for him to keep those sneaky little paws on the floor. I don’t give a sht if he sits either, but he has chosen to do this as he waits anyway. For this to work though, you must also commit to keeping those worktops clear or blocking access. If life is super busy and you think you might accidentally leave a toast crust or two… just keep it easy and block access entirely. Baby gates or keep the door closed. (We are open plan so for me this wasn’t an option.) It takes time, but the little victories are worth it. Each snack on the floor reinforces his good choices. By integrating it into our daily routines, it makes it easier for me and consistent for Lil’ P Getting a new doggo is hard, what do you start on first, will I do the right thing? But keep it up, dog peeps!

Meet Peanut

I thought this had cross posted from Insta!! MEET PEANUT!! We welcomed this little fellow into our home on Saturday. We have very little info on him. Other than, he’s approx 18months old, mixed breed. He’s teeny at 13kg. He came into the pound with another dog and no chip. Lots of emotions here. Especially when we opened a box with Jacks mat in it and he climbed in and sat on it. Bless him. I hope we can do this beautiful timid little soul justice. He’s a counter surfing, death farting, zooming, teenager. The tv blows his mind, as do sudden noises and his own reflection. He’s super smart, a problem solver, scared of hands, a keen explorer. I look forward to our life together. And so it starts again 🥰🐕

At 4months old this was only Gypsy’s second lesson but we'd been prioritising all the key life skills she needed, and settling in public is a lifeskill!!⁠ ⁠ If you’re unsure when to up that level of distraction for your dog, this is a good benchmark… wait until they bounce back to it automatically, as soon as you’ve thrown a snack off it.⁠ ⁠ Teaching your dog to settle, for me, is key life skill.⁠ ⁠ Practicing that skill and slowly raising the level of distraction, should be in every dogs 'training curriculum'.⁠ ⁠ You will then be able to take to more places, like cafes, picnics etc so that your dog knows what’s expected of them. The mat is out, we settle there and get rewarded for being a champ! Easy peasy!⁠ ⁠ Settling on a mat is mutually exclusive to jumping up, running at the front door, becoming over excited, stealing food from worktops and the list goes on...⁠ ⁠ 💬Let me know what you think in the comments…⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #superwoofers #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraineraustralia #puppytraining #positivereinforcement #puppy #positivetraining #dogsofaustralia #dogsofhobart #dogsofmelbourne #dogsofsydney #dogsofperth #dogmum #dogfluencer #dogsofinstagram #puppylife #puppylove #dogslife #jumpingdog #dogmumsofinstagram #newpuppy #onlinepuppyschool #puppyschool #puppygram #puppyoftheday #labrador #labpuppy

🆘PUPPY BITING! HELP!!⁠ ⁠ Tag in or share with someone who has a new puppy and needs help with their adorable little Land Shark 😜⁠ Is your puppy chewing up your boots or using your hands and feet as chew toys? It hurts right!? Now, a level of puppy biting is normal, they need opportunities to chew to help with teething, but excessive puppy biting is usually a symptom of something else. One of the most common reasons I see is a tired puppy. If your puppy has episodes of frenzied biting and redirecting them on to a toy or chew doesn’t work, then it’s very likely their sleep routine or food is out of whack, and needs adjusting.: 😴 NAPS A puppy should be resting 20+ hours a day! Yep you read that right…20+ hours! But if the house is busy, they stay awake to join in the action and quickly become that over-tired bitey pup. But getting them to nap is hard right? They often need their own quiet bedroom to be able to settle. Plus... 🐶 CHEWING Chewing soothes puppies, and if they are also teething, it is essential they have plenty of chewing opportunities. Making sure they chill before you put them down for nap helps massively. You need a settle routine, one that becomes the cue for nap time. I have the perfect one in my Super Puppy Club, my clients say it makes a huge difference when their pup gets quality naps in!! 😎Are you struggling with Puppy Biting? #superwoofers #рuppy #dogsocialisation #puppysocialisation #puppytraining #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining101 #puppytrainingadvice #dogtraining #pupper #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingvideos #puppytrainingvideos #puppytrainer #puppysocialization #dogsocialization #puppytrainingishard #puppybiting

FLOPPY EARS HELP SNIFFING! There’s a reason for floppy ears! Did you know that floppy ears are believed to be floppy to help dogs smell?! “Huh?” I hear you say! It’s true! When a dog has their head down sniffing, their ears fall forward…. and those big ‘nose curtains’ act as a fan to funnel the scent up to the nose area. (Which is called the rhinarium! Imma say that word again and again because I love it). Which is why most of those dogs we’ve bred to primarily use their nose for us, like beagles, bloodhounds or vislas have floppy ears. It’s no coincidence that the 2 come together. Ps that doesn’t mean that pointy ears can’t do scent work!!! All dog snoots are superbly powerful. They can detect a teaspoon of sugar in 2 Olympic size swimming pools… that’s with or without the ‘nose curtains’ 🤭 💬Comment below If you agree dogs are simply ahh-may-zing!!!! 🐶 If you have a dog under 2 and need help with training, check out my Super Puppy Club.

🐾Harnesses = The sworn enemy of loose lead walking!! Right?🤔 📕The Epic Saga of harnesses turning dogs into Olympic standard pullers goes on… 🔹Pulling: It’s All in the Harness: Yup, it’s official. Harnesses are equipped with secret codes that instantly transform dogs into pulling experts. Say goodbye to training or consistency – it’s all in the harness. The rest is just doggy magic. 🔹Safety, Schmafety: Safety? Bah, overrated. Please, tell me more about harnesses being the sworn enemy of safety. I mean, who needs a harness that doesn’t twist your dog’s neck into a pretzel when they dare to move? 🔹Freedom from Fun: Of course, letting your dog explore without the fear of choking is way overrated. I mean, it’s way more important to stifle their curiosity and why not throw in heeling for the whole walk too? We all know that walking with comfort and joy is just a cover for world domination. 🔹Positive Vibes? Nah! Loose lead walking with a harness, yep, that’s defo a gateway to world domination. Your dog will instantly morph into a tyrant, totally ignoring you or snacks. Who needs teamwork when you can have a power struggle, right? 🙄 📕Now that I’ve unveiled the real story behind harnesses, go ahead and spread the word. Let everyone know that it’s not about comfort, safety, or positive reinforcement – it’s all about your dogs secret pulling agenda and world domination.

GET A CALM DOG ANYWHERE! With our dogs we often inadvertently create or only train calm at home… but as soon as the dogs is outside that’s (OFTEN HIGH OCTANE) PLAY TIME. Because of this, I see many dogs who are unable to relax or calm themselves when out and about. They have just one mode when outdoors… MODE:ON! The idea of taking that dog or puppy to a Cafe or public place where they need to be calm, often fills their human with dread. But this doesn’t often need to be a big dog training exercise. If you want things to change… Simply start practicing calm outdoors with your dog. If you have a puppy, do this as part of your weekly exercise too. That could be as simple as picking a spot on your walk, where you just sit down with your dog or puppy and relax for 1minute then calmly move on. My top tips for this would be: 🐕Do it on the way back home after energy has been spent and sniffing has been done. 🐕At the start always select the same calm spot. Achieve calm there before adding another calm spot. 🐕Reward highly for calm. 🐕Don’t use a circular route or every where will will be ‘new’. Practice after you double back to an area they’ve already explored. 🐕Relax yourself too! Don’t try this if you’re also finding it difficult to chill that day too. I hope this is helpful. ❓Any questions please feel free to ask below… #superwoofers #рuppy #dogsocialisation #dog #dogsupport #dogtrainersofig #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining101 #puppiesofaustralia #puppydog

It's hard to believe that people still think Dogs are trying to take over the world, one human at at time. That we must fight them to assert ourselves as the boss... *sigh But here we are... still bullying dogs in the name of 'training'. #mememonday #dogtrainingisfun #doggolife #dogtrainers #dogtrainer #perthsmallbusiness #superwoofers

It makes me want to choose violence when people get offended if Dogs don't want patted by them I want to run up and ruffle their stupid hair whilst saying "who's a good boy" in a baby voice. Or run up and just hug them. But we don't act like that to other humans, it's not approved of . We recognise that we don't like everyone and we certainly don't want to be touched by fkn strangers! In fact, you should go to jail for that bro. So can we just normalise leaving Dogs the heck alone? Look from a distance if you must, but don't creepy about it. Double tap if your Dog is Good Dog!

Coat changesDepending on breed your pups coat may change during adolescence. This can be colour, texture, thickness…3. TeethingAround 4-6months they will begin to lose their teeth. You may also notice they are chewing more frequently too.AN extra one for you…4. Sexual characteristicsIf they are not desexed, you might notice males developing larger testicles and females may have their first heat cycle. Make sure you follow to find out more about what’s going on for them and how you can support them.

You know the drill, you plan your walk with precision but: -No.10 has let their collie out front again to herd passers by. -Rex from No.59 is loose, again. -The big white dog on the corner, who definitely sees dead people, is howling at the moon. -No.79 has a new puppy who wants to say hi. -99's cat is doing that weird "hey can I follow you" thing cats do. The neighbourhood gauntlet.

After my recent post, I'm bringing this one out again... Apparently it's still needed. Hopefully it's helpful! Different equipment can also look like this (for example tracking collars), so If you are unsure, ask the trainer themselves, then make your choice to work with them or not. BRANDS: If a brand you like, is reposting Dogs in equipment or methods you don't like, make them aware first. They may not be aware. *What they then choose to do with that knowledge, will tell you everything you need to know about whether you want to shop there* #doggolife #dogtrainers #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement #prongcollar #shockcollar #ecollar

The biggest recall mistake is making it too hard for your Dog to succed to early. Here's a simple game to practice and get those reps in so you have a much better chance of success as you get closer to their nemesis. Bobs nemesis was other Dogs, and if they had a ball, well he was gone! Here is where we started... Bob when we finished training would turn on a dollar coin when I called him. But start short before you go long 😀 Save this video to practice later ----------- If you have a pup under 2 and want recall help, take a peek at my Super Puppy Club.

Socialisation done right! ⁠ What you’ve been told about socialising your puppy is likely going to create you future issues.⁠ ⁠ Bombarding your pup with every person and dog (regardless of temperament) is such an outdated concept. In fact you may end up turning an already well balanced pup into an anxious mess.⁠ ⁠ We have been told for a while now that to build a confident ‘socialised’ dog we must make sure our puppy interacts with as many people and dogs as possible.⁠ ⁠ 🟥STOP!⁠ ⁠ The problem with this is, for most of your dogs life you don’t actually want them running up to and playing with or greeting every single person or dog.⁠ ⁠ If you’re like me, you likely want a dog that:⁠ ⁠ ▪️When out and about doesn’t run up to others to party!. ▪️Comes back to you, even when playing with their mates.⁠ ▪️Can be trusted off lead not to jump on everyone.⁠ ▪️Can settle next to you in, say, a cafe without frustration barking when another dog or person turns up. ⁠ Now, I’m not saying don’t interact with any people or dogs!! Heck no, Just be selective.⁠ ⁠ Seeing stuff at a distance and being able to check in with you as a default, is MUCH more valuable. Then if it’s cool to do so, they can go meet the person or doggo.⁠ ⁠ But it should not be every.single.one!⁠ ⁠ That just sets them up with an expectation that they get to meet every dog and person.⁠ ⁠ Play with your dog. Train with your dog, so the cool stuff comes from you ❤️⁠ ⁠ ❤️Share with a new puppy parent you know...⁠ ⁠ —————⁠ I’m Carly | Puppy + Teen Dog Trainer.⁠ ⁠ Need puppy help?

Evening crazy zoomies? It might not be what you think it is! In my experience, if your puppy is regularly whizzing around the room early evening... your nap routine could be out of whack. Just like babies, you can't really ask them to be in charge of regulating their own sleep. You need to have a routine that makes sure they get those zzz's in or you can get: Excessive puppy biting Zoomies later in the day Unable to focus Toilet accidents *It's a big list! Sleep is super important!! Do you get evening Zoomies from your Pup or Dog?? #puppy #dogs #dogoftheday #doglover #pup #pet #lovedogs #dogsofinsta #doggo #ilovemydog #doglife #puppies #puppylove #dogsofmelbourne #dogsofperth #dogsofaustralia #australiandogs #dogsofadelaide #dogsofsydney #superwoofers #dogsofhobart #superpuppyclub #puppiesofinstagram #instapuppy #dogmom #puppytraining #puppytrainingtips #puppyschool
