HOW TO GREET AN OVEREXCITED DOG;
Greeting an overexcited dog can be overwhelming if you don’t know how to handle the situation. Dogs are naturally enthusiastic but some are too much, too big and too dangerous.
The most important thing is to be calm and composed and to approach the humans first. The goal is to have the dog be neutral in this situation. Approaching an overexcited dog with a frantic or anxious energy will only add oil to the fire.
A good way to assure strong boundaries is to avoid physical contact. Putting your knee up to enforce your space can be valid to prevent jumping. Consistently, this will help reinforce good behavior and let the dog know that being jumping is not a desired behaviour. Sitting and being calmer is what will produce the best result.
In conclusion, greeting an overexcited dog requires patience and calmness. With time and positive reinforcement, the dog will learn how to greet people in a polite manner.

One thing about walks is that proper hand placements and training technique make all of the difference.
Mastering the leash while keeping it loose, is key for enjoyable walks. This allows your dog the freedom to explore, while being under your control and guidance.
An another important factor to success is giving your dog the chance to learn on their own. This empowers them to make good choices and become an obedient walker. It teaches them codependence and fosters their problem solving skills. This translates directly to fewer corrections, distractions and less unmanageable pulling during walks, making the experience more enjoyable for both of you.
Watch how a little guidance can go a long way in enhancing your bonding experience!

LEASH TECHNIQUES;
Properly using a dog leash is more than just simply holding onto it. This tool serves us more than just for physical control, but also as a means of guiding and directing your dog’s behavior.
By placing your thumbs at specific points on the leash, you can communicate subtle and comfortable signals to your dog, aiding in their understanding and obedience. This method allows you to maintain a relaxed grip on the leash which prevents muscle strains and allows for smoother walking for the both of you.
Whether it’s teaching your dog a new trick or preventing them from pulling on the leash. In the end, a well-utilized leash can foster a strong bond and mutual understanding between you and your dog.

TUG OF WAR;
People assume Tug-of-War is nothing other than a game; Wrong. It’s a valuable tool for teaching our beloved canines the art of controlled play. Engaging in this delightful game not only promotes physical exercise, but it also instills crucial lessons in obedience, self-control, and good manners!
As we engage in a friendly battle of strength, we have the opportunity to establish boundaries and rules. Through consistent guidance, we teach them essential cues such as “okay”, “no more” and “pull” encouraging them to play in a controlled and respectful manner.
The game of tug fosters communication, building a deeper bond between dog and owner. You can also teach them to release the toy upon command and take turns. By mastering the art of self restraint, skilled patience and impulse control, a safe and enjoyable playtime atmosphere is ensured for all.
Tug-of-War should always be played in moderation and with supervision. It is an interactive and educational experience that strengthens the human-canine bond, allowing us to have fun while shaping our dogs into well-rounded, obedient companions.

WALKING ETIQUETTE PART 2;
Being a dog owner means taking on the responsibility of being the leader of the pack. Dogs may have an instinctual desire to roam and explore, but it is our job as their owners to set boundaries and establish control. This is about creating a structured and safe environment for them.
Walking is an opportunity for us to build a stronger bond and is important to establish that dogs do not get to decide the pace of the walk. They may try to pull, lag behind, or stop and sniff every inch of the sidewalk, but it is our job to guide them and maintain a consistent pace. By doing so, we are developing good leash manners and better impulse control.
Furthermore , it is our duty to not only teach them how to behave on a leash, but also reinforce good bathroom habits. And that’s exactly what this video is all about. We have the power to set boundaries and rules for our dogs, and that includes deciding when they get to go pee.
By giving them the opportunity to relieve themselves when we decide, we are establishing ourselves as the leaders and showing our dogs that we are in control and understand their needs. This not only helps in creating a well-behaved dog, but also strengthens your bond. So take charge of the walk and reinforce good bathroom habits because at the end of the day, we show our dogs that we are their confident leaders, guiding them towards a happy and balanced life.

ENHANCING COMMUNICATION;
It’s important to consistently reinforce the connection between their name and the commands to ensure better obedience and communication with your dog.
One often overlooked aspect of training is the use of their names as a command. When you call your dog’s name, it is not just a way to get their attention, but it can also serve as a cue for them to follow specific commands or actions afterwards. When we combine their name with a specific action or behavior, we reinforce their understanding of what is expected of them.
This helps establish a stronger bond between owner and dog, as well as several other benefits including; enhanced focus, better recall and better emergency response.
Remember, consistency and positive reinforcement are key when using your dog’s name as a command.

WALKING ETIQUETTE;
There’s one crucial aspect that frequently slips under the radar of walking etiquette. The subtle difference between a placement command and a directive. One guides your dog to a specific spot while the other offers guidance to navigate their surroundings. When consistently practiced, it’s impact cannot be overstated. This overlooked differentiation improves obedience and strengthens communication resulting in an unspoken bond that will develop between you and your dog.
With each gentle tug, release, and command, we send signals to our dogs. Leash training as well as good communication isn’t about physical control; It’s an opportunity for good walking etiquette to flourish.
To enhance that good behaviour, the owner must always be the final decision maker. What comes after listening and trusting your judgement for your dog, is an opportunity for a shared adventure!
