🐾🚶‍♂️ "Why does your dog pull on the leash? 🤔

Leash pulling is a common challenge that many dog owners face, but there are several reasons behind this behavior. Here's a breakdown:

Excitement and Curiosity: Dogs are naturally curious and eager to explore their surroundings.

Lack of Training: Some dogs haven't been taught proper leash manners, so they pull simply because they don't know better.

Desire for Speed: Certain dogs want to move at their pace, which might be faster than yours.

Distractions: Dogs can be easily distracted by other animals, scents, and people.

Leash Length: Using a short leash can make your dog feel restricted and lead to pulling.

Building a Strong Bond: Creating a desire in your dog to be with you can be a powerful motivator for good leash behavior.

Pulling Back on the Leash: Sometimes, we unintentionally encourage pulling by pulling back on the leash ourselves.

Leash Handling Skills: Both dogs and owners need to learn appropriate leash skills.

To address leash pulling:

🐶 Invest in Training: Spend time training your dog on loose leash walking and use positive reinforcement.

🔄 Be Consistent: Maintain a consistent approach during walks to reinforce the desired behavior.

❤️ Build a Strong Bond: Strengthen your connection with your dog through positive interactions.

🚶‍♂️ Learn Leash Handling Skills: Understand how to handle the leash effectively.

By understanding the root causes and addressing them with patience and consistency, you and your four-legged friend can enjoy more enjoyable walks together. 🐾❤️ "

WHY DOES MY DOG IGNORE ME?

🐶💕 "Ever wonder how to make your furry friend more aware of your presence? Building a strong bond with your dog is key, and it's easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to help you and your dog connect on a deeper level:

Quality Time: Spend quality time together. Engage in play, cuddles, and interactive activities. Dogs thrive on attention.

Training: Basic obedience training is a fantastic way to establish trust and communication. Teaching simple commands can create a stronger connection.

Positive Reinforcement: Reward good behavior with treats and praise. This encourages your dog to seek your approval and company.

Eye Contact: Maintain eye contact with your dog. It's a powerful way to communicate and build a bond.

Consistency: Be consistent with your interactions and routine. Dogs thrive on predictability.

Gentle Touch: Offer gentle petting and massages. Many dogs find this soothing and reassuring.

Speak Calmly: Use a calm and reassuring tone when you speak to your dog. They can sense your emotions through your voice.

Exercise Together: Go for walks, play fetch, or engage in activities your dog enjoys. This strengthens your connection and keeps your dog active and healthy.

Respect Their Space: Dogs need their space too. Give them room to relax when they want it.

Patience: Building a strong bond takes time, so be patient and understanding.

Remember, every dog is unique, and it's essential to understand their individual needs and preferences. By following these tips, you'll create a loving and lasting bond with your four-legged companion. 🐾❤️

HOW QUICKLY SHOULD I SEE THE RESULTS?

Within 30 minutes of being with a trainer, you should be seeing results.

Most classes last an hour and should include some quality playtime, which is also training.

What we are trying to achieve is the 3 Rs of Habit-Forming - Reminder, Routine and Reward

4 sessions are usually enough to start making life-changing results

FAQs - a mini-series on training dogs

I HAVE HAD MANY TRAINERS. WHAT DO YOU DO DIFFERENTLY THAT YOU THINK CAN HELP ME?

I strongly believe in Einsteins' law of insanity - "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

For every problem has a solution. BUT after every solution there's a new problem to tackle, some new challenge to take on. You don't stop after you solve one thing you keep going....Marie Lu.

Dogs will throw up continual challenges - Small steps and continual change make the difference

Desensitisation
​
What does it mean and how can it help you
​
If you have seen my previous post where Bella - bully type, who was ball obsessed and would jump, lunge and snap at a ball, was desensitised enough to be able to enjoy playing with the kids at a family BBQ.
​
How is that possible in 2 training sessions?
​
When you put your dog on the lead, do not let them wander around, sniff or walk off. ​ Make them stand with you. A simple check on the lead to let them know you do not want them to do anything but stand and wait for a command.
This stops your dog from wandering off in their mind as to what they want to do and gets them to focus on you and wait for the next command
​
When your dog is calm, take the thing that they fixate on - ball, another dog, bike, car and find the distance that your dog will stay “with you” and get the obstacle to move around, roll the ball, roll the bike, very gently at first, using the command “leave it”.
​
When the dog loses their calm, take a small step back, correct gently and use command “leave it”. ​ Continue until the dog is not fazed by the object of its desire being moved around, and slowly decrease the gap.
​
This takes time and energy, but ​ IT WORKS
​
As always , if you need help or would like to come and have a session or just a chat then please let me know on 07709 431153
