TEAM MAX ๐ฅฐ being a super star ๐ working on his loose leash walking skills!! I can count at least four distractions, can you name them?
Hi ๐ a trick you too can learn in our tricks class commencing next Thursday 19th January. If you are interested and would like to learn more please email: [email protected] ๐ถ โจ๐ช
We broke down this loose leash walking exercise small step by small step ๐ (see what I did there?) By firstly walking backwards, then owner alone getting used to walking backwards and pivoting without their dog, then re-introducing the dog, walking backwards + pivoting and stepping forward = an awesome connected team and some lovely loose leash walking ๐ when exercises are broken down it allows you to achieve a bigger goal. Well done team Fluffy! ๐ถ
How AMAZING is this group? ๐ Working on our โloose leash walking trickโ for our novice tricks class. If you would like some more information on joining the next tricks class, please email ๐ง [email protected]
THIS IS HOW WE DO ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ถ a walk.
๐พWe go when other people are most likely eating/busy (at dinner time) ๐ this helps to lessen the amount of distractions out and about.
๐พ YES I still take food with me. This gives me an opportunity to capture and reinforce what I love seeing AND is an alternative way for Mickey to get his dinner rather than from a bowl.
๐พ We STOP and SNIFF as much and for as long as Mickey wants to. This is his walk not mine. *Given it is safe to do so* sniffing is how our dogs โseeโ the world. 20 minutes of sniffing is equal to an hours walk for them.
Thank you to those you attended my Howl-O-Ween event today. ๐ just a few snippets of some footage I got. Some awesome photos to come thanks to The Wandering Photographers check the comments below to see what was involved for each station.
What do you think I love the most about this video?

SCATTER FEEDING ๐ Last night @mickey_isms was served his dinner via natureโs snuffle mat. Can anyone predict the time it took him to find all of his food? The first half of this video is sped up and the second half is left in real time for those of us who enjoy watching a dog do what dogs do best โค๏ธ SNIFFING โค๏ธWhat benefits other than slowing down his meal time do you think Mickey got from this form of enrichment? I am interested to read your thoughts ๐ญ

CARDBOARD CHAOS ๐ถ what do you need? Some food, boxes of different sizes and a hungry puppy. Scatter feed or purposely place the food in different spots in, on and around the boxes. Have a look at the clips and let me know what this activity may help with.
