Dog behaviour and the environment.

Sometimes human perception of an environment is completely different to what their dog is seeing and experiencing .

Video continued from the weekend

Introduction to a little agility over the weekend . A young handler keen to get involved in the world of agility competition in the future.

We used 2 of my dogs and she had only worked with Lottie and Zeta once before .

Well done

Lottie is a small mix breed rescued from a life on a chain .

Getting to know Lottie was interesting seeing what drives her and of course her dislikes .

Lottie loves movement she puts herself in high energy situations and causes arousal within her own doggie group . Which can have a negative effect so always needs managing.

Lottie shows predatory behaviours triggered by her strong instinct to stalk, chase , catch then shake . This was played out by chasing some of her doggie family and seeking wildlife .

We never want to suppress natural behaviours but it's important not to allow the full sequence to be repeated and followed through .

Chase , recall , redirect into another exercise like sniff and find using enrichment toys .

Amazon deliveries turn into a little enrichment and treat for the dogs too so 2 happy customers .

Snow is blind but nothing wrong with her nose 👍

Envelope today so perfect for a little game of find that chicken jerky.

My Maltese

He has struggles .

His environment needs to support him

His behaviours can not be trained out of him

He isn't stubborn .

GENETICS.....circumstances he was found when rescued his HEALTH.... all drive his emotions that drive his behaviours .

For him he is at the extreme end of the spectrum with multiple struggles and I've adapted his environment so he experiences minimal stresses , to encourage calm , learning and quality in his every day life .

MANAGEMENT .......

07/02/2023

If you didn't see this on good morning Britain please take a look .

It's a subject being brought up alot regarding the increase in dog bites .

It's explained perfectly why it would be beneficial for a dog owner to learn even the basics of dog behaviour.

Dog play is it or isn't it ! , hyper behaviour . Behaviours constantly being addressed .

All the very best . See you beginning of January.

Keep them safe this festive period

Space is valuable.

Puppies need their own quiet space .

Here Lottie demonstrates this by not going into the puppies safe space after a play session .

It's important to always manage play .

Not easy filming and interacting with a gorgous excitable 9wk old puppy but so much fun

Like most puppies everything gets explored by mouth as part of their learning new skills and experiences .

its important from the beginning a puppy learns not to guard a toy an object or even space.

It's not advisable to just take off them or act as a dominant figure to get what you want .

TOY SWITCH

This is a positive exercise using 2 or 3 toys offering a different toy for the puppy to drop the one they have and adding praise each time the puppy drops the toy for the next toy your offering . This helps with anxiety and conditions a positive response

9 wk old Polo has been introduced to the hoover at a distance to begin with to get used to the movement, noise and lights.
Today he stood next to it and ignored it 👌

01/12/2022

It's never to soon to introduce training .

Make it fun force free and positive

Start with behaviours offered and build from there . Puppy's brains are like sponges .
This builds confidence , trust and relationships.

Proud of this little girl ❤️🙏❤️

Being blind doesn't mean they can't learn some cue's and have the pleasure of reward and feeling confident and connected 👌😁

We can adapt fun learning and enrichment

Leah has 2 working legs but still needs to work that brain and stimulate her senses. Work within their capability and don't make it too hard.

Paw on and wait

A day off and Lottie and I using our free time to make a difference in someone's day

Wag &Co

09/08/2022

The children section is very beneficial for our dogs. Not everything has to have K9 in front of it 😁
Fake grass can get very hot ! Old rugs

09/08/2022

We are excited to announce we are part of the Wag & Co team with Lottie our little rescue

It's a fantastic organisation and many dogs are needed to help people have the pleasure of a little furry company

Many ways to get involved 😁👌🐾❤️

Behaviours ! Many rescue dogs could arrive with one or more !!

Understanding why and what is driving those behaviours.

Sometimes the background of some rescue dogs are unknown

Saving an animals life and welcoming them into your home your routine isn't the end of that scenario .

Excitement can turn into anxiety

It's an investment of time , understanding and seeking professional advice .

Rescue once
Not rehome twice

🐶🏥 The latest NHS figures around dog bites are concerning and we're reminding people that all dogs can bite. We've joined forces with St John Ambulance to raise awareness of how to keep safe around canine companions and what to do if you get bitten ➡ https://bit.ly/3Q0bt00
