Badger enjoying a leg stretch last month.

I keep his exercise varied, being a sight hound he loves to give chase with toys, he gets a massive buzz from chasing, catching and sprinting and i like to give him opportunities to do these things. However, I do not do these kinds of activities with him daily for a few reasons, so we have to have boundaries.

1) He is a young dog and his growth plates are still closing
2) Being a high energy breed, he runs fast and stops hard meaning there is a lot of pressure on his muscles and joints.
3) Being a border collie means he has exceptional focus, however this can lead to being completely fixated with toys and not get any enrichment from the environment.
4) Before finishing a walk where he has chased toys, we do ten minutes of scatter feeding in the grass to make sure he has decompressed from chasing before we go home.
5) On “walkiewalks” when we go to the woods or follow a trail, we have no toys at all so the walk is relaxed and he takes in the environment and responds to me. Sometimes I will only play tug on the field with him and not throw anything at all.

Anyone else have a toy obsessed dog?

Your reminder to keep up grooming practises with your doglet.

Mach is a curly Cavapoo who as a puppy didn’t have a great first grooming experience, and has therefore become a dog who doesn’t trust people who want to “faff about” with him. Unfortunately for Mach, he has a poodle coat that needs to be groomed daily and a professional groom at least every 8 weeks. It’s safe to say that Mach had a zero tolerance approach this idea!

He has seen his fair share of different groomers and, and after months of working on desensitising grooming sensations and pairing up with an experienced mobile groomer, he can almost tolerate a basic groom ✂️

So, if you have a curly coated dog make sure they make good friends with their groomer and learn to love being groomed 💇‍♀️

Besties or Beasties…?

Just like us, dogs are all different. Understanding their likes and dislikes in potential buddies takes some consideration and lots of observing. Some like to play play play, others like to mind their own business and mooch. Knowing when to step in and help your dog is the biggest part… they have to know that you will fix it so they don’t have to. Having the idea that dogs will put each other in their place and sort it among themselves is daft, in a “pet dog” world.

My dog is tolerant of other dogs and will walk long walks in the company of others, although he doesn’t want to play that much. I certainly don’t want him to rehearse behaviours like growling or snapping at another dog to “put it in its place” because 1) it’s not his job to educate other dogs, it’s their owners and 2) I don’t want him to learn that snapping and growling is the communication he has to use to get the space he needs.

Are you thinking of getting a new puppy?

Or have you recently brought a new puppy home and are now going through land sharking 🦈 evening crazies and wondering if you’ll ever get on a schedule or leave the house again!?

The Puppy Training and Care package can help new puppy owners, or even slightly old puppies that haven’t quite figured things out yet.

“Loony Toony Badgeroony” aka Badger is 1 today 🎉

How it’s so easy to overestimate the maturity of an adolescent dog. They no longer look or act like a puppy so our expectations of them increase and our patience shortens … but they’re still very immature and ever figuring out what they think about the world.

The puppy training never really finishes, it just evolves into a new way of understanding a dog as they grow.
