Go Copper
After Copper was cut out of the last video, his agent was on the phone demanding that he have a bigger role in the next one.
We are happy to oblige!
Many dogs love cold weather (and boy was it cold when we were filming this!) but if you don’t fancy taking your dog out when the mercury plummets, that’s fine. A few days without a walk won’t hurt.
If your dog is very old or very young then you may not want to take them out in these conditions anyway. The same is true for very lean dogs (e.g. greyhounds) or short-snouted dogs (e.g. French bulldogs). It’s a personal choice.
However, provided your dog is healthy and can be kept relatively warm, then exploring a frosty world can be a lot of fun.
And I promise Copper will actually appear in the next film! 😅
Still working on taking training videos with the drone so this is really me, N and Kasta messing around over the park. However, there was something fascinating about watching Kasta playing fetch from overhead. It got me thinking about important different perspectives are and how there is rarely one singular way of seeing or doing anything.

Sunday morning tomfoolery!
Sunday morning tomfoolery!
Impulse control is a key part of life - for humans and dogs alike. Whether your dog wants to eat a treat, chase a squirrel or attack another dog, we have a responsibility to teach our dogs to resist that urge and look us for what they should do and how they should behave.
Combining different obedience commands
This simple routine combines a range of different basic obedience commands. We have sit/down (either will do), leave it (self control), break (which releases the dog to the toy), come (recalling to me), play (not a command but a reward) and out. Rinse and repeat to get sharper and sharper!
There is nothing flash about this video, just a solid rep of a relatively new behavioural sequence.

Can your dog do this?
This could have been a 10 minute video, but watching a dog lying down for that long is not good FB content! So, I took a 1 minute section and sped it up a bit.
Is this something that your dog could do? Based on the comments from the dog owners we met yesterday, the answer is a big fat “no”.

Building Trust in Dogs
On the face of it, this is just a bit of fun. Kasta has to run around a pretty large hedge and come back to me.
But there is a bit more to it than that.
He has to trust that I’ll be there when he comes around the corner because I am out sight for almost 10 seconds. This is different from stepping behind a tree or around a corner. Here I have actively sent the dog away from me, with the implicit promise that I’ll be here when he comes back. Be wouldn’t do it if he didn’t trust me.
Trust is critical to any relationship but especially with a dog. You are their whole world so when they put their trust in you, don’t do anything that risks damaging it. Once you have it, cherish it!
