Your dog’s not begging for my treats, they’re begging for your attention.

It’s that time of the year again where our dogs provide us with enrichment.

04/11/2024

Adolescence occurs between six months and 18 months of age—a time when guardians typically struggle the most with their dogs. Some guardians are so overwhelmed and underprepared for this developmental stage of their dog’s life, they choose to surrender the dog to a local shelter or rescue group. In a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science found that the majority of the surrendered dogs (47.7 percent) ) were between 5 months and 3 years of age (M.D. Salman,John G. New, Jr.,Janet M. Scarlett,Philip H. Kass,Rebecca Ruch-Gallie &Suzanne Hetts, 2010)

The neurobiology of adolescence is fascinating, with some key events that alter both the structure and function of the brain.

During canine adolescence, changing s*x hormones effect the animals stress responses. Adolescent dogs have a decreased ability to process information they are receiving from the environment including the presence of dogs, vehicles, people, or really anything around them. They behave in ways that might feel frustrating or upsetting for the dog’s person.

The connectivity between the frontal cortex (responsible for decision making) and amygdala (responsible for emotional processing) decreases, resulting in less behavioral control. We see increased risk taking and more sensitivity to fear.

So what does this mean? This could mean that what was once no big deal to the dog now feels scary; what was once easy to do is now stressful; what once made sense is now confusing. At times, the world can feel like ‘too much’ for the adolescent dog.

As your puppy undergoes this transition into adulthood their inner world is intense, even chaotic. Many pet owners experience an increase in undesirable behavior and find themselves becoming increasingly frustrated. In turn, our own frustration and impatience can cause us to act unpredictably. This adds to our puppy’s inner turmoil. When the inside and the outside are both unpredictable it can be difficult for our dogs to adjust.

If you have an adolescent dog, what can you do? You can give your dog the time and space to observe what is going on around them when on leash at a distance away from the activity when possible. You can give your dog long walks to sniff and explore in nature, giving their brain time to decompress. You can offer your dog a quiet space to sleep so that they can consolidate memories effectively. You can continue training various skills, breaking them down into easier steps that can be generously reinforced.

By understanding what our adolescent dog is experiencing we gain greater compassion and understanding. When we approach adolescence with patience we create a world that is predictable and gentle so our puppies grow up to be their best adult selves.

A great start on a very soggy Saturday!

Shipping container which is around 6m by 3 m. Fully
Lined and insulated, with a separate cupboard, lots of shelving units and a wonderful out canopy attached (needs wd40 but does work). Has a tiny hole in the roof so is currently
Covered by tarp as it leaks, but a small amount of roofing rubber would fix! Needs collecting from Hinxworth asap.

Anyone need any pallets?? Loads going-available from 10th November from Hinxworth!

Help please!!
I’ve just found out that I’m losing my training field with literally no notice-I’ve been there five years.
If you know of anyone that has some land to rent that I can train on (around and acre)anywhere between Biggleswade and Stevenage that has somewhere to park or is big enough to park on for clients I would be extremely
grateful!
Thank you 🙏

We like to utilise all of the play equipment when the kids are in school 🤣

Yesterday was my last with my own training field after five years at Farrowby Farm. When I first started there we had a tea room, a vintage barn, and it was a pig farm which often meant that I was training puppies next to a field of piglets who thought it was great to run screaming up and down the fence line 😂😂 Sadly over the years the farm was wound down, and it finally sold this year-it’s been hanging over my head for three years that this might happen. I won’t go into details, but let’s just say it hasn’t worked out with the new owners for me 😂 so a new start is happening! We will be training in Weston from this weekend at our new venue @cricketersweston - very excited!! Here’s to new beginnings 🥰🎉🎊

Autumn leaves are great for enrichment-not so great for finding dog 💩 though 😂😂😂

The very lovely Mango started puppy classes with me today-can you guess her breed?

My dog is very odd 😂😂 lazy day yesterday as it’s our day off, Jasper took full advantage as usual! Zero was asleep next to me, in a normal position I promise 🤣

Have you got a black dog?? Mine wasn’t intentional-he was a freebie rehome 😂😂

Helena our little rescue cat is aloof 90 per cent of the time-but when the weather changes she comes in for a cuddle and to make aggressive biscuits on us 😂😂 the boys are terrified of her (she’s a massive arsehole 🤣) and she has a love/hate relationship with her sister. Don’t tell anyone she came for a cuddle will you? 🤫

#sorrynotsorry #loveyouall 😂😂

So so chuffed to get this lovely message from one of my new puppy clients today -made me cry 😭 😁 Let’s hope they enjoy the rest of the course as much 😁😆

This Saturday we start all over again with our Practically Perfect Puppy Programme!! 8 weeks of fun with your puppy, lots of laughs and loads of information from North Herts Puppy Specialists (now in our tenth year!!). Drop us a message below for more info-we can’t wait to meet you 😁🐾

September sees Completely canines having not one but two pool parties with @thesoggydogco ! Last Sunday we had a lot of newbies having their first swims, and lots of fun and progress for others! Bonnie the wcs has swum before but she finally dived from the dock all by herself!! No fear that one 😂😂😂 @tailsofbon

Hey!!

My name’s Angella and I guide new puppy and dog owners through the exciting and sometimes stressful journey they JUST embarked on with their new addition!

I teach the solutions and give the support needed to to build the perfect family member to fit their lifestyle, so that both species are happy and fulfilled, and those precious early months can be delightful rather than dastardly!

My mission is to guide the whole family through the exciting process from before the puppy arrives, through the early weeks, into puppy classes and beyond.
