The Pawer of Love dog training

The Pawer of Love dog training I am someone who is passionate about showing people how to support their environmentally sensitive dogs who need space from other dogs.

I also help people to give their dogs more freedom by teaching a reliable recall that works. I specialize in dog-dog reactivity and in teaching a recall that works. I offer 1-2-1 training in person and online.

If you teach your dog to relax inside and provide them a stress free environment, it can affect their behaviour outside.

They can be calmer and can deal with more triggers before they start shouting and lunging.

If you combine this with changing their emotions towards the trigger to a positive one, you can have a different dog in a few weeks.

Not necessarily 'cured', but a different dog.

It does take time, commitment and work but it is doable.

Do you want to know how?

We can work together for 2, 4, or 8 weeks depending on what your goal is with your dog.

This is what one of my clients said after a few weeks working together:

Do you have an environmentally sensitive ie reactive dog?

If you do, you know that they struggle more on the walk than 'good' dogs.

They can get anxious, fearful and find certain situations too much to handle.

You know that.

But do you know how to reset their nervous system?

1. Play. It releases mood-regulating chemicals like dopamine or serotonin.

2. Give them their own space if the household is too busy.

3. Enrichment activities like sniffing or chewing. They are calming for dogs.

All these you can do inside.

I can show you what you can do outside.

Have you ever thought of these if you have a dog who is barking and lunging on lead at other dogs?

1. Is your timing right when you mark a behaviour with a clicker or clicker word and reinforce it?

With a clicker or clicker word, like 'yes', you mark a behaviour you want to give your dog food, praise or a toy for. Whatever behaviour you click, the dog gets the reinforcement for.

Do you click the calm behaviour around dogs or do you click when they are sniffing a tree?

2. Do you want to do some training when dogs are too close?

Then no learning can take place because your dog doesn't feel safe.

3. Do you observe the other dog as well?

Look at the other dog's body language and decide if your dog needs more space or he can pass them calmly with the skills they have already learned.

Do you want to learn the skills?

I can show you how.

Impromptu training for fear of the umbrella.

I never walk Ivy with an umbrella when it rains but today it was an easier option.

It was a new experience for her. That combined with her unsure personality resulted in her freaking out by me holding a weird object.

Quick training then so that we could go for a walk.

I put the umbrella down and I scattered some treats away from it.

She had an option to stay at a distance from the umbrella.

It took about a minute before she cautiously approached it.

A few more treats closer to it.

She was happy to walk around it and in about 5 minutes we were on our way.

I kept my distance away from her because she was still unsure about the open umbrella but with lots of praise and reassurance she quickly got over it 🙃.

Always give a choice to your dog to move away or closer to something they are not sure about.

Forcing them to go to something or someone will only increase their fear.

Two mistakes you might make when training your dog

It's much better to get the training right for the first time. If you don't, you need to spend time correcting your mistakes.

Mistake 1. Not building on solid foundations

If you progress the training before the basics are solid, the training can 'collapse' any time.

People often make this mistake.

If your dog can come back to you in your lounge, for instance, it doesn't mean that they can do the same in a park around dogs, running children and squirrels.

The foundation would be teaching the recall in different environments where the difficulty level is gradually increased.

From the lounge take the training to the back garden, then to a quiet park, then to a park with dogs 30 meters away. And so on.

You get the idea.

Mistake 2. Training when your dog is already over threshold.

The reason for the hyped up behaviour can be anxiety, excitement or fear.

In this state of mind they cannot learn. The learning part of the brain is less switched on and the amygdala (responsible for emotional responses) tells the brain to increase heart rate and blood pressure.

Nobody can learn in this state.

Your dog needs to be able to focus on you and to be in an environment where they can learn.

If they cannot, change the environment to provide a safe learning place.

What breed of dog am I and what other name am I called sometimes?

I am about 60cm (23 inch) and weigh around 20-22 kg. I am black and tan and have a dense,wiry coat.

I originate from the county of York and I became more wildely known at an agricultural show.

I was originally bred to work as a hunting and working farm dog.

I do a great job as a guide dog as well.

Do you want to start changing your dog reactive dog's behaviour in a few sessions?

Beauty was very dog reactive when we started to work together about 6 weeks ago.

Watch the video to hear what her person says about her now.

Spoiler alert: big positive change in her behaviour.

What stresses you on the walk with your reactive dog?

The barking and lunging?

The feeling of frustration and embarrassment?

Let's chat and I'll tell you how we can change it.

Florence is an adolescent dog who gets excited around other dogs. She just wants to say hello but it is not appropriate,especially because she's a big dog.

In just four sessions this is what we achieved together.

Do you want the same result with your dog?

I'm here to help you to achieve it.

How can you understand your reactive dog?

Dogs can have different triggers they react to. People, dogs, cars, birds, horses, joggers. The list goes on.

With reactive dogs there can be very little time between the trigger appearing and the reaction. It can happen in a flash or it can take a bit longer. Depending on the distance.

They need distance to feel safe. If they don't, they will choose either fight, flight freeze or fool around (like jumping up on you in a stressful situation).

If they are on the lead, the flight option is taken away.

Then some will choose to fight or freeze. I see the former behaviour more often than the others.

Then if you ask them to sit or look at you, they will be in conflict. Their nervous system is telling them to move (either towards or away from the trigger) and their frustration or anxiety is built up even more.

They might do it but their emotions won't change towards the trigger. If anything, they might worry about it even more.

What can you do?

Do not sit your reactive dog. They need to move. Teach them a U turn to move with you.

Teach them a pattern game (like 123) when they can choose to focus on you while passing a trigger.

Keep your distance and change theri emotions towards the trigger. If you do, their behaviour will change in a positive way.

Send me a message if you want me to show you how.

Our Story

My name is Zsuzsa and I help people to teach and guide their dog to enjoy a more fulfilled and happier life. I am comitted to working with people who want to make a change in their dog's behaviour. My focus is on providing recall training and help for dog reactive dogs.

I have been working with owners since 2011 and have helped many clients to train their dog to become the companion they envisioned. I give people the knowledge and understanding to get it right. My aim is to help my clients to have a deeper understanding and bond with their dog so that harmony and peace is easily maintained.

I am committed to kind and effective training methods and would never consider using pain or intimidation to train a dog an ethical choice.

I live with my rescued Jack Russel cross. Although, she had her challenges at the beginning, she helped me to improve my handling skills and knowledge about anxiety based canine behaviour.
