Why do I choose force free training for dogs??
Well why wouldn’t I…….🤷‍♀️

Training a dog using pain, discomfort or fear is just not my way!!
Using methods that I believe in, know and understand is my only way!

I don’t care if other ways can seem “quicker” …..it’s just not “right”

Force free, fear free is my choice and always will be!!

Great post ……socialisation and play are very different things 🐶🐕🥰

Socialisation is a term that many struggle to define.
It's often confused with play, but play is a completely separate and important skill.
In a world that pushes constant interaction ….where dogs are expected to greet and play with every other dog they see, we can unintentionally create a dog who views every other dog as a source of excitement.
This isn’t socialisation… and it never was.

A better way to think about socialisation is acclimation, helping your dog adjust to everything the world offers, not just other dogs.

Weather
Surfaces
Animals
Crowds of people, all ethnicities, ages, and movement styles
Noises
Scents

That’s just a taste of what true socialisation really is.

Acceptance is another way to view it.
Accepting, not reacting.
Building positive associations.

That is true socialisation.

Having a dog not pull on lead is obviously a much nicer experience than one that pulls.

But it’s not the dog being “naughty” or “stubborn” …..it’s way more than that.

It could be excitement, fear, stress, natural pace, injury, illness and so much more.

This is why it’s important to teach your dog in a kind and understanding manner.

It’s very, very rarely that one session fixes it ……it takes time and patience.

The only way of quick fixing is by using methods and equipment that I’m not happy to use, your dog wouldn’t be happy and neither would you!

Once you get improvements it’s quite often life changing, for both of you and this is why I love teaching it ☺️

If you would like a dog you can walk on lead comfortably then get in touch today.

DIGGITY DOGS DILEMMA

These pictures are of my Schnauzers, blissfully digging huge holes in the garden, hunting for crickets.

Digging is not a naughty or bad behaviour, but a very normal, natural, instinctive way of expressing a genetic, emotional or physical need.

Terrier type breeds in particular were specifically bred for their digging ability to hunt for and flush out vermin or other pests.

Dogs don’t understand the human concept of maintaining a beautifully manicured lawn with plants or why we may get so angry when they destroy and dig it all up.

Digging can be really challenging to prevent. There are also so many different reasons that dogs dig – genetics, prey drive, boredom, frustration, stress or anxiety, hiding valuable resources, creating a comfy place to rest, seeking heat or cold, barrier frustration or even trying to escape.

There is never a guarantee that preventing a natural behaviour will be successful, but some simple management, ensuring dogs have sufficient physical and mental stimulation and providing alternative outlets for this behaviour should create an improvement.

If all else fails, ask yourself if it’s really worth getting so stressed about, or if it’s better for both us and our dogs to give up the manicured garden in favour of the more natural dog look?

"𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘯𝘰...𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘨"

It's ok to say 'no'. In fact, it's our absolute responsibility to advocate for our dogs if they need us to. And it's not one we should shirk because of social awkwardness or embarrassment.

Things to keep in mind -

• Saying 'No' isn't rude and it's possible to express 'no' kindly & gently
• 'No' is a complete sentence. You don't need to elaborate or explain if you don't want to
• If someone does take umbrage that's a 'them' problem, not a 'you' problem. Shake it off...
• Practice makes perfect. The more you do it the easier it becomes. If it helps, practice a form of words in advance so that you're not left flustered in the moment
• And, if we are told "no" in our turn, then we respect it, we don't take it personally and we move on

When we abdicate our responsibility to step up and advocate for our dog we run the risk that they try to control the situation in a way that makes sense to them - and that's often not the best solution for anyone.

1. Dogs are always genuinely happy to see you. 2. Dogs don’t make you feel guilty when you’re eating your 6th snack of the day at 11am (unless you don’t share some with them) 3. Dogs don’t try and cause drama for the hell of it. 4. Dogs don’t get drunk and blab your secrets. […]
