We specialise in positive reinforcement Games Based and Concept training to address your dog’s challenges and build a great relationship between you and your dog! At S.I.T. 4 Dogs we like to try to forget about labels and breed traits and work with the dog in front of us. We create personalised plans for every dog and owner

to help turn your dogs struggles into their strengths. Our training is based on concepts like Focus, Proximity and Disengagement and all achieved through short games. If you feel that you struggle with "traditional" dog training or are looking for a fun alternative, then we may just be the trainers for you! Struggling with recall....proximity and disengagement are your best friends! Struggling with loose lead walking...proximity, engagement and focus are the concepts for you! Whatever your struggle, we are here to help and to make it fun. Not just for your dog, but for you as well. Let's not think about what you DON'T want from your dog, but rather what you DO WANT instead!

So our youngest dog Figg is currently in the throws of a phantom season. Spending a lot of time wandering, crying, barking, bringing us toys and generally being quite unsettled.

In order to try and help support her we have made a blend of very high quality essential oils (by DoTERRA) for both topical use and aromatic use. We have some in our diffuser and have made a spray for her bed and to pop on her chest. We work closely with a canine essential oil specialist. Over the last 2 days that we have been using these oil blends, the crying has almost stopped, theres more settle and she generally seems more comfortable.

If you want to know more about how to support your dog with essential oils, drop us a line

Picture is Figg with her current favourite pheasant!

⭐️⭐️Bone Broth⭐️⭐️

This stuff is like liquid gold and so easy to make!

It has so many amazing benefits for your dog, such as helping to support digestive & joint health, soothing upset tummies and tempting fussy eaters, as well as being full of incredible nutrients.

STEP 1: Simply get some bones from your lovely local butcher (marrow bones, feet and ones with connective tissue work best) and pop them in a slow cooker.

STEP 2: Cover with water and add 2-4 tbsp of cider vinegar (must be raw with the mother)

STEP 3: Cook on high for 1 hour then low for 23 - 47 hours.

STEP 4: Strain and pop in the fridge to chill. Take the layer of fat off the top then portion and freeze. You can feed warm, cold or frozen into ice cubes.

You will often be able to ppick the meat off of the bones. Its up to you whether you choose to feed this to your dog. I do, and I use it as my flavour base to make biscuits too. You must NOT feed the cooked bones to your dog due to splintering.

21/11/2023

All new Natural Treat boxes, perfect for doggy christmas gifts!

Choose from puppy, adult, power chewer and even allergy boxes. Just send the page a DM with what you need.

Chewing is also a natural calming activity for dogs, so its a win, win!

Let us help you take your pup from a worried monkey to a dog that poses like a super hero!! ⭐️CONFIDENCE Mini Courses coming soon⭐️ DM us for more info #ConfidenceUnleashed #dogtraining #doglife #ashington #northumberlanddogtrainer #ConfidenceIsKey #positiveenergy #dogsoffacebook #games #positivereinforcementdogtraining #conceptraining #trainingwithgames #northumberland #gamesbasedtraining #ConfidenceBoost

⭐️⭐️NEW RAPID RECALL MINI COURSE⭐️⭐️ Do you long for a dog that turns on a dime and returns to you when called? Are you struggling to get your dog to listen when there are distractions in the environment? If so, this may be the new mini course for you! Starts 11th November at 11am and runs every other saturday for 3 sessions.

DID YOU KNOW.... Puppies can walk on sand when the tide is on its way out, before theyre had both of their vaccinations. This is because the tide will have washed away any problem germs that may have been on the sand. In light of that...Figg went for her first "walk" today. We didnt go far and she wasnt out long. But her and sprout had a wonderful time!

9 week old Figg update Lets talk management.... Management is key for calmness and its particularly key for a harmonious multi dog household. Now that we have added Figg to our family, we are using a lot of management for many different reasons..... 1 - to guard her optimism (shes a very optimistic puppy and we dont want her having lots of bad experiemces that could turn her into a pessimist 2 - to ensure she gets enough sleep! Puppies need 18-20 hours sleep a day and they arent the best at making the choice to sleep when they have other options available to them 3 - to reduce the level of zoomies / crazy land shark biting. This happens when she has a full bucket and is in high arousal....things that cause her bucket to fill are: - lack of sleep - to much toy play - not enough enrichment - too much enrichment - too many games/high arousal games 4 - to keep the other dogs in the house happy. They dont want her hanging off of their ears all day!! It will make them grumpy and snappy which in turn will reault in point number 1. Yes she needs to learn some manners, but we need to careful that she doesnt become fearful 5 - so that we can get stuff done around the house without tripping over and hurting a puppy. 6 - to help her be happy being separate from us when we're in the house 7 - to keep her safe when we are not with her Here she is today happily enjoying her first raw duck foot in her pen.

Weve recently started using essential oils with Tonks and Sprout to help with different struggles weve had, be it separation, independence, digestion, balance and we are really noticing a huge difference. We are using doTERRA oils as they are some of the best on the market. They are ethically sourced and the pureness of them is second to none and contents can be traced to source from each bottle. Dogs have never lost the ability to self select what their bodies and minds need and this is a great natural way to help them to realign and heal themselves. Today sprout is very much wanting cardamom today as you can see. Some of cardamoms properties include inflammation, muscle aches, respiratory and digestion. It makes sense given Sprouts hip dysplacia and also why this is Tonks' favourite oil currently as she has some digestive upset. Weve been using lavender and vetiver, alongside cardamom to really help with Tonks' separation struggles and it really is working wonders. As an aside....doTERRA's Zengest blend for stomach upsets has been marvellous for both of the humans in this house over the last 2 weeks!! If you want to know more about doTERRA, drop me a message. There is an essential oils for dogs course coming up too which is free to join. Ask for details or keep an eye out for upcoming posts.

DAY 4 Halloween cardboard novelty suprise! Grab a load of cardboard and some novelty halloween items, pop them all around in a room and scatter some food in and arou d the items. Then let your dog loose in it. This builds optimism and works on confidence around novelty. A great game for dogs that can be worried about items that they deem unusual.

DAY 3 Witches Hat Object of the game is to get your dog to put their nose into the hat. If you dont have a hat you can do this with a different object....plant pot, yoghurt pot, cone etc Offer the object, when your dog looks towards or offers the behaviour, mark and reward. This is another great game for confidence and optimism. P.S. excuse the pyjamas, its been a lazy day in this house lol
