This video highlights how stressful it can be for other dogs when your dog has no recall. The dog on the long line is on it for a reason
Maybe it has no recall
Maybe it’s scared of other dogs - and judging by how it’s cowering and avoiding the loose dog it does look afraid. 😟
Maybe it’s young and in training
Maybe it’s reactive towards some dogs
Maybe it’s blind or deaf
Whatever the reason it is NOT acceptable to have a loose dog run up to and into the personal space of another dog in the lead. If your dog has not yet learned a really good recall away from distractions - it should not be off lead. Don’t be this owner who’s probably yelling from a distance “he’s friendly, he only wants to play” ! 🤦🏼♀️🙄
. It’s interactions like this that can be traumatising for some dogs.

We are really looking forward to our Canine Carousels course tomorrow. 🥳
Please wear sturdy footwear. The forecast is fine but the recent rain has left the field a bit soggy underfoot. 🥾🥾

What is SOCIALISATION?
It’s definitely NOT playing with other dogs - although positive interactions with familiar adult dogs is invaluable as the interaction teaches puppies how to communicate better with others and how to regulate their behaviour around other dogs
But good socialisation is SO much more than that .
Socialisation and Habituation is the art of becoming neutral and tolerant around various stimuli (triggers in the environment)
Many puppy owners don’t give their puppies enough time to just watch the world and process what they are seeing, hearing and smelling. If you want to develop a bomb proof dog, take your time to just observe the world from a safe distance. Don’t rush your dog from A to B. And don’t keep going to the same place day after day, such as always to the local park.
Your puppy might become neutral in your park but over aroused everywhere else unless you spend time in different locations letting your puppy become accustomed to that environment
Invest time in your puppy’s education and you’ll reap the rewards as they get older.

Here’s a weekend challenge for you
This game is called Button Hands
It’s a problem solving game game
You hold some treats in a closed first and the other is held flat out like a target
Your dog has to push your flat hand with their nose to get the treats to drop out of the other closed fist . It’s a puzzle for them because they have to move away from the closed fist holding the treats to push the lever (your flat hand) to get the treats from the closed fist .
Try it and post your results below 👇🏻 #imdtdogtrainer #dogtrainer #dogtraining #IMDT #dogtrainingtips #dogbehavior #dogbehaviourtraining #dogsofinstagram #dogtraininggames #dogtrainingclasses
Such a lovely video of Cooperative Care demonstrated here by Jack and Jill Professional Dog Training.
Yes, we can force animals to accept being medically treated, or groomed, but there is a high cost to pay .
If an animal is forced into accepting regular treatment you can bet £100 they’ll know what’s coming the next time you get the eye or ear drops out.
Then what do we do ? Corner them ? Wrestle them ? Sit on them ? Muzzle them ?
Then what happens …. ??
It’s not rocket science , they will then associate the medicine bottle AND the muzzle with feeling afraid or uncomfortable . Then they’ll start displaying defensive aggression when you show them the muzzle and ointment bottle 🥴 🤦🏼♀️
That’s not a productive way of going about routine care .
Of course there will be times when your vet needs to get “things done” and give treatment. But ideally it’s much better to work WITH your dog on cooperative care.
If your dog is a snappy or afraid of vet treatment, grooming or routine care - get in touch. We can help. #cooperativecaretraining #cooperativegrooming #consentgrooming #cooperativeveterinarycare #anxiousdogsofinstagram #behaviourist #dogsofsheffield

Some lovely desensitisation harness training .
Many people buy a piece of equipment such as a harness, head halter or a coat and just slap it on the dog with expectations that the dog should just wear it with no fuss. This can be an aversive experience for the dog.
If you notice your dog shying away from the harness or hiding and avoiding when you get it out of the cupboard - please don’t pursue them and force them to wear it
Instead do this and make it a more positive experience. #forcefreedogtraining #forcefreetraining #fearfreetraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #perfectfit #dogtraining

RECALL - an essential Life SkillDogs that have good recalls have more quality of life because they go off lead more often and can “be more dog” ! Exploring, socialising, sniffing, running freely. Recall skills are built in layers. First you start at home with no distractions and no distances . Teach your dog his name and a recall cue such as ‘come’ Or ‘here’ means he will be rewarded with food, affection and play Then you test the responses in the garden. You need to do this every day for a week The next layer is a quiet area with no dogs or distractions Then eventually move to a busier area but still use long lines to ensure reliability and safety until you know your dog will respond. If your dogs recall needs perfecting, sign up to our recall workshops. Held outdoors with real life distractions. Building skills for you and your dog .
