An introduction to Shaping with me and Floki. By using a clicker, treats, patience and shaping you can see how we can train a desired behaviour (balls being placed in the basket) in just a short session.
When my kid is the one barking at pigeons and not my dog (thanks Bluey), not to mention being able to trust her to allow the tiny human to hold the lead for a short time (after she was consistently asking, I would usually have a safety lead attached), it really makes me appreciate how far Floki has come in her time with us.
During my personal journey of having to make my teenage rescue dog, who to our knowledge had never even met a child, let alone a baby before we were expecting our eldest I learnt a lot. I had to help her become a dog who could live within a family dynamic and be safe and also remain content with the chaos and constant change that children bring to a household. No longer was she able to have all the attention, her walks weren't able to remain routine, new sounds and smells filled the air, not to mention having to accumulate to little grabby hands, oddly moving toddlers, new furniture & toys that were not for her and so many other life changes she had to adapt to alongside us.
Obviously there are so many joys that overwhelmingly outweigh the teething issues (no pun intended) that having/joining children and dogs together entails. But for those about to embark on this amazing chapter of their lives or who are already waist deep in having to balance your responsibility as parents with that of a dog owner, you may be looking for assistance or peace of mind while navigating these waters, which is why I have a training package specifically for this subject.
My New Addition Package is aimed at those who are expecting, have babies, toddlers or young children and covers not only, helpful dog training/ management tips and recommendations that will make your lives easier, and your dog more comfortable but also assistance in desensitizing them to certain stimuli and creating appropriate bonds between your kids and canine family members too.
For those with older children I also love discussing dog safety and body language so can happily include this in th
Loki is 2 years old and you can see he's a big boy, his owner has unfortunately been living with some health issues and it's really important that Loki doesn't pull when walking, which up until now he has been doing constantly. His owner has admitted to dreading waking him due to his pulling, so we've spent the last three sessions of his Awesome Adolescents Package mastering the positive techniques we needed and here you can see how it all came together on his usual walking route. I'm so proud of both him and his owner. Well done lovely boy!! 🐾☺️👏
Some examples of some simple changes you can make when using treats as reinforcement, to add extra value and/or change the response your dog offers. Plus a real life demo from Floki after a deer pops up 🐾 #ADogsBestFriend #dogtrainer #hampshire #dogtrainingtips
Dog Trainers can have bad walks too, and I thought I'd use this one to explain why your dogs may have a "random" reaction or response sometimes when out. #ADogsBestFriend #dogtrainerhampshire
