Enough is enough!!! Day 17 in the Short Bark 'N' Strides house! We headed to a secure field in the pitch black to let Flo move and sniff and be more than 5 blummin metres from my side. She still wasn't much further away 🙄🤷‍♀️
But she explored and sniffed to her hearts content, and i think she's much happier for it!
She still hated the car, so work to be done there, but I think she'd agree it was worth it!

Avoiding resource guarding. Flo stole this tea towel from the counter. I ignored her. So she brought it to me, whilst i was washing up, and then dropped it at my feet. Still i ignored her. Now no one wants it 👌🤣 Don't increase the value of useless items by arguing with your dog about them! It's still where she left it and we're both in the lounge now 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, did you know you can do too much with your dog? Well, you absolutely can. And this can lead to lots of 'problem' behaviours, such as lead biting, refusing to walk, 'failing' recall and destructive behaviours and a lack of general focus on his people.
So, we've reduced his physical exercise as he is a large breed whose growth plates have yet to close, and these dogs are not built for huge amounts of running and high energy play. We've started some traning games, which will help with the other issues too, whilst making sure he still gets to meet and play with his friends too 👌
Lovely family, lovely dog, lovely morning.

Well, this young man smashed it tonight! 👏👏
Even holding Luna's lead with me, whilst we nattered all things dog, foxes, rollercoasters, chocolate, cricket and lots of other stuff!
I am so so proud! His mum commented on how relaxed he was, and she even had a little cuddle with Luna too. Thanks so much Vicky Fordham ! Luna, as ever, a star ⭐️ 🐾

Recall training with Bella. The first time she's been 'off lead' in weeks 😊🐾 We need to ensure her exercise needs are met before we can expect her to walk 'nicely' on a lead 👌🐾

When your mum keeps making you do silly stuff to 'entertain' you both, but you can't really be arsed 🙄🤣🐾🙈🤷‍♀️ A send around can actually be quite fun for your dog (not flo in this video clearly, and she already knows this behaviour 🙄🤣), and quite a useful skill for them to have. Flo clearly finds her reflection more interesting 🙈🤣🤣 I use left hand and verbal cue 'loop' for going left and right hand and verbal cue 'round' for right 🐾
16 days! Let us out!

Poor old Axel. He is still requiring restricted exercise and it's driving him (and everyone else in the house) mad!
So we started training some new skills that he can do without charging about 🤞🤞🤣
We trained a nose touch, conditioned a positive collar touch, (ill do a video of how to do this tomorrow), some very basic search games, and started shaping lying on a blanket. A lovely evening 🐾

Me, every day 🤣🐾👌

Last night I met with Hannah Moores - Maws Paws and Anna Molloy - HoundandHandler for some food. We are friends and it's so lovely to have friends in what can be quite a polarising and challenging community to work in. Dog training can be a lonely business, and I really value the friendship of these two who are both brilliant, fear free trainers. I regularly recommend Hannah for puppy classes and she also teaches flyball, which is great fun. And I also recommend Anna for scent work which I think every dog can enjoy. She also does hoopers, man trailing and more.
See you soon ladies, thanks for the giggles 🐾😊
