Hiya, my name is Archie and I started doggy day care last week (you already know my sister Misty) 🐶. I had a fantastic day as I love people and other dogs although being an older chap I don’t play with the other dogs too much 😂. I really love getting fuss and attention as well as treats. I had so much fun I am back again this week, see you all on Friday xx

05/08/2024

Hiya, my name is Bailey and I started doggy day care recently 🐾. I absolutely adore people but I am very very shy with dogs. I want to be their friends but then I get a bit scared and run away. Once I have been with them for a few hours and realise they are not so scary I am happy to wander around with them but I am still not brave enough yet to play 😂. Sam has said given time I will want to play when I feel more comfortable and I am sure she is right. See you all again on Friday xx

Chippy having a funny 5 minutes in the sun yesterday ☀️😝

Well that week has flown by... can't believe Havok has been with us a week already. It took him a few days to settle (Monday night was by far his worst.... we got NO sleep whatsoever) but he's now learning the value of his crate and downtime. Crate training is another diversive subject but done properly its invaluable. Having the grand total of nine dogs, of which some are still young, we can't afford to have them free roaming unless we have eyes on..... imagine the chaos ! It's also important that our guys have time to themselves, both away from each other and us as we have a very busy enviroment. Add to that the fact that they all have different preferences with toys and bedding and it makes crate training a must. The trick is to make the crate THEIR space... THEIR food, THEIR toys etc. To start with we take a new pup in and out on their lead until they know where their bed is. They only have one bed to avoid confusion and it never moves. They get treats, play, toys, food in the crate and whilst it's never used as a punishment, they do get time outs in it when they start to act up. We also send our guys to their beds in sequence to avoid a free for all or mass toy pinching session (looking at the Daschund mob here😉) All in all, Havok has picked it up pretty well and happily dives in to bed and now sleeps through..... after Mondays events, that's a godsend. Ps... vid of the little ones in sequence in the comments.

Well the young uns finally realised he's a maligator.... now the fun begins. Bite inhibition or bite control ? Hmmm, touchy subject amongst both trainers and owners if I'm honest. One school of thought I've heard more often than I like is that you can train out any form of biting as its been bred out / watered down in domestic dogs and a dog should never bite.... no matter what. Well given the amount of "pet" dogs I've been called out to that HAVE bitten or are in rescue centres for that reason I can only assume the trainers/owners did a p*ss poor job or its not possible. Fun fact.... dogs bite ! It's their only real form of last defence if pushed. Left untrained, a dog will learn to bite the moment it realises it works (resource guarding for example.... dog shows teeth and aggression.... owner backs off) Granted, there are soft mouthed breeds but even those will bite given the right circumstances. I've always believed that our dogs are a combination of two major factors... genetics and enviroment. Genetics means know your breed... guarding breeds will guard, retrievers retrieve etc and good bloodlines are important. Then we have enviroment.... eg, what you teach the dog, what outlets you provide for these instinctual behaviors. You can't expect to buy a doberman and expect it to act like a cockerpoo, especially if not trained. After the release of the John wick films, Malinois ownership went through the roof the same as with the German shepherd in the 90's. Take a look now at how many are in rescue centres with little chance of rehoming and the reasons why..... I rest my case... So, my furry little velociraptor has started to learn bite control. Early stages and little and often to keep his drive manageable. Personally, I'd rather have a dog like him that understands when to bite, what to bite and how to bite and release, than one that could get himself (and me !) In trouble.

Havoks new skill from yesterday. This is his 4th attempt after a couple of low level slips. He actually did better when he kept moving rather than stopping for reward at stages. Not sure if he's super confident or if the lure of dried duck was too much to bear. 🤣 I suspect its a bit of both really.
