Your dog thinks there's no such thing as 'too many treats' — but their waistline might disagree! 🐾🍪 Balance is key to keep them happy and healthy 🐶 #dogtraining #puppytraining #positivereinforcement
Introducing our new breeds section (link in comments). What breed should I do next? 🐶🤔
CONSISTENT TRAINING IS KEY: Bear integrates my training on a day-to-day basis, rather than a once-a-week approach. He finds that by doing this, it solidifies my learning and builds my muscle memory, so I have to think less when giving him treats. This consistent approach results in Bear having to deal with fewer of my behavioral issues and me becoming a well-trained human. #dogtraining #puppytraining
Change The Environment, Elevate Your Enrichment: Keep branching out 🐶🌳🐾x
AVOID REPEATING YOURSELF: Ever heard yourself saying 'Sit, sit, sit' ? You're not alone! Think your dog needs the cue on repeat? Nope, they’re just waiting for the echo stop. One cue, one chance, otherwise the cue will dilute. There may be a valid reason why they didn't respond. Think about why they may not have responded and change the conditions, you'll get better results than repeating 🙊#dogtraining #puppytraining
Socialisation: Surfaces & Objects. As part of our socialisation series, exposure to a variety of surfaces and common objects early on is a great way to avoid any awareness later down the line.Surface suggestions you could try in the home might be:Bubble WrapBaking TrayWooden Chopping BoardYoga MatCommon objects pups can find a little scary could be:UmbrellasPlastic BagsMirrorsHatsThe list is broad and long, so get creative and happy training x #dogtraining #heathsdogtraining #puppytraining #puppysocialization
PLEASE ensure there’s no ‘flappy bit’! Always put an ID Tag on the collar ring (and remember not to clip your lead to the tag ring, as it will come away). For the perfect fit, you should be able to put two fingers underneath. I prefer a quick release as opposed to a buckle fastening to make life easier getting it on/off. And opt for a neoprene material, as this will be the most comfortable for your dog and quick dry if it gets wet (which is more often than not if you own a Labrador). #heathsdogtraining #dogtraining #puppytraining #dogcollar
