🎃 Halloween Tips!! 🎃

Halloween can be super scary for many dogs and easily send them into fight or flight mode!

Check out these tips below 👇 to help prepare your dog, you can also have some fun with them by playing a few games like apple bobbing or a surprise Halloween party for them where you pair the novelty of things like the decorations with positivity by rewarding your dog for being calm or interacting with different things such as a pumpkin.

Also have a look at this Absolute Dogs YouTube video from a few years ago as it has some really valuable tips!

Absolutely loved my pawsome adventure with Bella this afternoon!!

I've been a bit quiet lately due to life being a bit more hectic but I'm still here to help with your dog walking and training/behaviour struggles!

At the moment I have availability for walks (including solo and training walks) at weekends and one to one training on weekdays at 4/5pm ish and at weekends too.
Halloween season can be a real struggle for nervous and reactive dogs, so I'll be posting some free tips to help with this later!

Hope you're all having a fab weekend!

What does perfect recall and loose lead walking have in common?...

Your dogs desire to stay CLOSE to you!

If that's what you want then play this game for 3 minutes a day and feel the relief of your dog wanting to choose YOU!

You can play on or off lead and wherever you are, but for best results start at home first and gradually build up to more distracting environments.

🐶To break it down, how you play is like this;

1. Throw a piece of visible food out for your dog to eat (e.g. chicken/cheese)

2. When they have eaten it and start to orient back to you (I.e. look at you), mark this moment by saying 'YES!'

3. Throw another piece of food out for them to eat in the opposite/another direction

Remember it's about a FUN time not a long time! 😍

Did you know it takes around 100 good experiences to outweigh just one bad experience?

Every single time you expose your puppy to another dog this is the risk you're taking, BUT you can help to set your puppy up for success by helping them to feel comfortable around other dogs in a safe environment.

By taking part in my socialisation sessions, your puppy will learn to associate calm and positive emotions with other dogs, which will in turn help them to be prepared for the times when other dogs are around.

We will also play some key puppy training games and you will go home with an awesome Pawsome Puppy pack! 😍

Suitable for ages 12+ weeks-7 months, book your space now or ask for a free discovery call to find out more!

Get a huge relationship boost between you and your dog and have your dog choose YOU over everything else- you'll become their hero!

Some lovely adventures this week with Molly and Albie 😍🐶

You can see them both doing 'two paws on' which is a useful hack to really start your walks off on the right paw (excuse the pun! 🤣)

It works by helping to get their brain in the moment with you, kind of like mindfulness. Really helpful for dogs who feel a bit anxious or those whose brains are already in the future and so are full of anticipation!

10/04/2024

Meet Molly, my new Nervous But Nice friend 🐶

It was our second adventure together today and we played lots of games that will help her to feel more confident and optimistic about the world around her.

We had so much fun and she was a little star ⭐😍 Well done Molly!

01/04/2024

So I came across this on Facebook today and thought it must be an April fools...spray tea, really? 😂

But shock horror...it's actually a real thing! 😲

Lovely adventure with Bella again today 😍

We played a few games just for the fun factor which she loved!

Playing a few games also has the added bonus of growing her engagement and focus with me, meaning any future walks we have together will be even more pawsome because the more fun we have together the more joyful the experience is for Bella and that's what it's all about! 🐶

And the more fun she has with me, the less enticed she'll also be by any exciting distractions so it's a no brainer! 😍

For those of you wanting to know which games we played today they were magic hand, orientation, funder and catch 😄

29/03/2024

So me and Albie got both rained and hailed on during our latest adventure this week, but then there was this perfect rainbow 😍

Hope you all have a fab Easter 🐣

06/03/2024

Hannah & Nellie playing the loose lead gamechanger Magic Hand in Rising Su-Paw Stars Club last night, just look at that focus! 😍

Once your dog has really got this game your hand becomes a super cool cue for you dog to stay by your side!

Games based training is all about INSPIRING your dog to make great choices so they never lose their joy or personality!

Rising Su-Paw Stars Club runs every Tuesday evening at Sharpness Village Hall, I have 2 spaces available for 6-7pm and 2 spaces available for 7.15-8.15pm 😊

We've got a super fun and relaxed environment, all ages of dogs are welcome and bring your kids along to learn the games too!

06/03/2024

What a fun time me and Peanut had in Sharpness yesterday 😍

Lots of sniffing and games to grow his skills of disengagement (being able to ignore distractions), engagement and proximity (wanting to stay close)- all things that help with reaching that goal of stress free walks! 🐶

28/02/2024

So every last session of the month in Rising Su-Paw Stars Club we now have chilled Tuesdays 😍

Here's Nellie, Bentley and Buddy enjoying some sensory activities and then we had a little mini talent show (with a prize 🎉) just for fun of some of the games we played this month!

My plan is to keep adding different activities as and when I can, like a see-saw and larger tunnel to name just a few- can't wait!

Anyone fancy their chances at guessing who won the mini talent show this time?

First Pawsome Aventure for the lovely Bella recently 😍

We played games just for fun as well as ones that grow skills like recall and loose lead walking, Bella picked them all up straight away the little su-paw hero!

05/02/2024

🎉 Services Update! 🎉

🐶 All dog walks are on a 121 basis to allow your dog to have a super wow experience that includes some training games, off lead time (if permitted by yourself), and plenty of enrichment opportunities.

Locations include Slimbridge and Sharpness canal, Berkeley fields, Uley Millennium fields, Cam Peak, Dursley woods and plenty of other fun places!

🐶 My Superhero Walks 121 Programme follows a bespoke training gameplan that will be created during our initial consultation at your home

🐶 Details for all of my 121 Struggles To Strengths Programmes can be found on my website www.pawsome-adventures.co.uk - these are currently discounted 😍

🐶 My weekly classes (Rising Su-Paw Stars Club) are every Tuesday 6-7pm- more information can be found on my website, or we can arrange a free discovery call 😊

🐶 If there is enough interest I also hold workshops and puppy socialisation sessions- just ask me for more details or to register your interest! 😍

Just look at Albie doing 'Two Paws On' this week! 😍

This is a great little conversation starter that you can play at the start of your walk, in new environments, and even right before you step out your door!

It acts a bit like a mindfulness exercise, helping your dog to be calm, focused and in the present moment (instead of already chasing that squirrel! 🤣🐿)

It also really boosts our dog's confidence because it helps them to feel in control of their world and because the pads of their paws are actually quite sensitive, just the act of putting their two front feet on objects of different textures and heights takes that extra bit of confidence on their part and so it really empowers them.

Why not give it a go with your dog?

Your can play by luring them with some tasty food or rewarding them every time they make any effort to interact in any way with the object you'd like them to put their front feet on.

Let me know how you get on if you do give it a try and happy weekend everyone! 😆

🎉 TOP TIP TUESDAY- Supercharged recall! 🎉 Here's a really cool tip for supercharging your dog's recall & making you sexier than a squirrel! (or sheep/deer/bird/other dog/leaf blowing in the wind!) Who would LOVE it if your dog chose YOU over that sexy sheep all the time?! Well there's a tip for that! Not only is this dream totally achievable but you will also find that by following this tip your dog generally just wants to hang out close to you wherever you are!

As promised here's yesterday's top tip...today! 🙈 Play time! Did your dog get any new toys for Christmas? Here's a fun game you can play with them which will really boost your relationship, encourage your dog to see you as the best thing since sliced bread and also help to prevent resource guarding behaviours! You can also build on this game to turn it into a strategy for getting your dog to drop something they shouldnt have in theor mouth. How cool is that?! (Excuse how dark it is in the video and also the wet patch on my jumper lol! Mr Albie very kindly jumped up with muddy paws on our walk and I'd just washed it off 🤣😂)

🎉 Top Tip Tuesday! 🎉 Is your dog freaked out by fireworks? In preparation for New Year's Eve when there's likely to be fireworks going off in most places, I wanted to share this super cool little game that you can do to help your dog feel more at ease! I forgot to say in the video but it's important to make sure you pause briefly before you feed them after you've said your marker word. Hope some of you find this helpful!

TOP TIP TUESDAY! 🎅 Chilled Out Christmas 🎅 Christmas is full of new things and events that can make our dogs feel a bit unsure or uneasy, so here's a quick and easy game you can play that will help them to see these novel things as nothing to worry about! You can even use wrapping paper left over from the craziness of Christmas morning to play this 😄
