Pet Poppins Dog Training

01/04/2025

Met the very sweet Missy last week who has rather suddenly started displaying aggressive behaviour towards her canine housemate.
They have lived together happily for 6 years so the first thing we need to implement is environmental management to keep them both safe at home. So we are separating them with baby gates.
And importantly she is going to be assessed at the vets to rule out any medical causes to her sudden change in behaviour.
With any dog that you see a sudden change in character and behaviour it is vital to ensure that nothing else is going on for them before starting any behaviour training programs.
A sudden change in a dog's behaviour can stem from various factors, including physical pain, stress, anxiety, underlying medical conditions, or changes in their environment or routine.
As a behaviourist it's important to ensure all possibilities are explored.

Lots of fun in puppy class the past couple of weeks. Learning drop, settle, hand touch and loose lead walking amongst other things.

Lovely Benji who I am working with as he has some resource guarding issues and also some anxieties around traveling in the car. He's made a lot of progress in regards to the guarding of food already and we have started making positive associations with the car.

Lots of fun in puppy class last week. We played 'its your choice' and worked on calm greetings and stay.

Been to see this gorgeous girl this evening. She is struggling with frustration around other dogs. She desperately wants to get to them to play but this results in lots of barking and pulling. We will be helping her to cope with her emotions and help her to remain calm around dogs.

We did 'magic mat', handling and 'drop' last week in puppy class.

Aww how cute is Tizzy 😍
First time meeting her but I had already done a session with her guardian before she arrived so she was fully prepared.

Gorgeous Duke at Pontefract race course. Working on engagement around dogs, recall and focus.

I have been working with the lovely Bonnie Blue, to help her build a relationship with a new puppy in the family. Bonnie is worried about dogs and has felt concerned about the new arrival.
We are taking introductions very slowly and helping her to learn to be relaxed around the puppy.
This is hanging out in the same room as Ruby which is a huge progress as she was barking previously when she saw Ruby.
Her guardians have been ensuring there is lots of management in place such as pens and using separate rooms, unless training is taking place.
